Linux GPU Control Application (LACT) v0.7.3 brings configurable charts, improvements for AMD RDNA3

By Liam Dawe - 7 Apr 2025 at 12:19 pm UTC

Linux GPU Control Application (LACT) continues being one of the best ways to control your AMD, NVIDIA or Intel GPU on a Linux system with version 0.7.3 out now with new features and improvements.

The first big one is that the charts window is now fully configurable. This means you can set whatever stats to show that you want, add and remove charts and much more. It's a nice quality of life improvement for the app.

For AMD RDNA3 GPU owners, this is a big release for you too! It includes some workarounds to improve overclocking. Due to driver bugs it does things in a very specific order to work around them, until they're fixed in the drivers. So you should now be able to properly deal with custom power limits/fan curve/clocks on RDNA3.

An emergency reset option has been included, for if you mess up overclocking settings. And, additionally there's also now a Flatpak package.

I use LACT for my gaming PC. I have a original AMD RX 6700 XT with their subpar cooler, so I use LACT to undervolt it and limit the TPD in less 9W. That way the card doesn't overheat in a hot climate without air-conditioning. The impact in performance is negligible, so I can increase the longevity of the card without resorting to more drastic (and expensive) measures.
