A Linux tool for monitoring and configuring AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, including overclocking, fan control, and power management.
LACT is a Linux GPU control application that provides comprehensive monitoring and configuration capabilities for AMD, Nvidia, and Intel graphics cards. It enables users to fine-tune GPU performance, manage thermals, and access detailed hardware information through a graphical interface or headless service.
Linux users with AMD, Nvidia, or Intel GPUs who need granular control over GPU settings, including enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals running headless servers or workstations.
Developers choose LACT for its vendor-agnostic support across major GPU brands, its system-level service that works independently of graphical sessions, and its extensive feature set including overclocking, fan curve control, and remote management via API.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides unified control for AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, making it versatile for mixed hardware setups, as highlighted in the README's feature list.
Runs as a system-level service independent of graphical sessions, enabling use in servers and remote environments without a GUI.
Includes overclocking, fan curves, power caps, and profiles with auto-activation based on processes, covering most GPU optimization needs.
Offers a documented API and TCP remote management for scripting and integration, though with security caveats noted in the config.
TCP remote management lacks authentication and encryption, requiring trusted networks and manual firewall setup, as warned in the README.
Some features, like thermal options, are limited to AMD RDNA3+, and Nvidia undervolting is indirect, reducing parity across supported GPUs.
Relies on systemd for suspend/resume and may require manual driver tweaks (e.g., for AMD overclocking), adding setup complexity.
Needs manual edits for socket permissions and conflicts with tools like power-profiles-daemon, which can lead to user errors.
LACT is an open-source alternative to the following products:
Tuxclocker is an open-source overclocking and hardware monitoring tool for Linux systems that provides real-time statistics and control over GPU/CPU parameters.
CoreCtrl is an open-source Linux application for managing and monitoring CPU, GPU, and other hardware performance settings.
