LACT 0.10.0 Adds Voltage Boost and GDDR7 Temp Monitoring for Linux

LACT version 0.10.0 arrives for Linux users who need precise control over their NVIDIA graphics cards. This update gives power users the ability to lock their GPU into its highest performance state through new PowerMizer controls. It also fixes critical temperature reading errors on Blackwell architecture GPUs that could previously report incorrect values. These changes matter because accurate thermal data and stable performance states are essential for safe overclocking and system stability.

Linux GPU tool update adds voltage control and fixes Blackwell thermal readings

The Linux GPU configuration and monitoring tool now supports deeper hardware interaction for both NVIDIA and AMD platforms. NVIDIA users gain a new voltage boost slider that provides extra headroom for overclocking configurations without applying a full voltage offset. AMD users receive a new GTT memory usage indicator to better track system memory allocation. These additions expand the tool's utility beyond basic monitoring into active tuning and detailed resource tracking.

A major technical improvement in this release addresses Blackwell hotspot temperature sensors. The software now uses a Blackwell-specific sensor path to replace the previous method that often reported incorrect values. This ensures that thermal management systems react to actual hardware temperatures rather than misleading data. Accurate readings prevent thermal throttling issues and protect the GPU from overheating during intensive workloads.

LACT 0.10.0 introduces per-chip VRAM temperature monitoring for GPUs using GDDR6X and GDDR7 memory. Users can now read temperatures from individual memory chips rather than relying on a single average value. This granular data helps identify specific memory modules that may be running hotter than others. The update also includes the previously mentioned PowerMizer control to force the GPU into its highest performance state for consistent frame rates.

This release confirms that LACT continues to evolve as a essential utility for Linux-based GPU enthusiasts. The combination of precise voltage control, accurate Blackwell thermal readings, and granular VRAM monitoring provides a comprehensive tuning environment. Users can now manage their hardware with greater confidence and accuracy across both NVIDIA and AMD platforms.
