1 – Release Notes
This new version of GeeXLab is available for Windows 64-bit, Windows 32-bit and Linux 64-bit (GLIBC 2.31). This version of GeeXLab is used as the foundation of several new GPU tools: GPU Shark 2, FurMark 2 and GPU Magick. All these tools will be released very shortly.
Here are the main changes in GeeXLab 0.49:
GPU Monitoring plugin
The GPU monitoring plugin comes with the support of recent NVIDIA GPUs: GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X and RTX 3060 GDDR6X. The fan speed reading has been improved for GeForce GPUs: all fans can bee now monitored (new functions in gh_gml library: get_num_fans() and get_fan_speed_v2()).
The major new feature in the GPU monitoring plugin is the support of Intel Arc GPUs: Arc A380, Arc A750 and Arc A770. All important hardware sensors can be monitored: GPU temperature, GPU usage, fan speed, chip power consumption, GPU and memory clock speed. The monitoring of Arc GPUs is only available on Windows 64-bit.
GPU Shark 2 (based on GeeXLab and soon available) has the monitoring of Intel Arc GPUs:
Python 3.11 Support
The latest version of Python 3 is now supported. GeeXLab can now execute scripts for Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9, Python 3.10 and Python 3.11. The Python demopack contains a set of demos to check the support of all versions of Python (folder: geexlab-demopack-python3/general/01-system-info-v2/).
On the Windows version, Python 3.8 is the default Python version when you specify only PYTHON_3 in the XML script node. On Linux, the default Python version is now Python 3.10. GeeXLab allows you to specify the Python version in your scripts (PYTHON_3_7, PYTHON_3_10, etc.) as well as Python’s home directory.
Lua Engine
I slightly modified the Lua engine in order to display longer file names in error messages. By default, the length of file names is 60 bytes. The new length is now 512 bytes.
Vulkan plugin
The instance creation is now done with Vulkan 1.1 (VK_API_VERSION_1_1). For ray tracing, the version 1.2 is recommended. You can specify the Vulkan version (vulkan1.2 or vulkan1.3, default is vulkan1.1) in the XML window node:
The support of multi-sampling anti-aliasing has been added to the Vulkan plugin. You can enable this support in the window node:
In OpenGL, the MSAA support can be enabled or disabled at any moment in the frame script. This feature is not possible in Vulkan.
ImGui
GeeXLab 0.49 comes with the latest Dear ImGui 1.89 final. The ImPlot support has been updated with version 0.14 and some functions to draw plots have been updated with new parameters. A demo is available in the OpenGL 2.1 demopack: geexlab-demopack-gl21/d29-imgui/imgui-implot/.
I took the time to add a cool lib in GeeXLab to draw some spinners with ImGui. A demo is available in OpenGL 2.1 demopack: geexlab-demopack-gl21/d29-imgui/imgui-imspinner/.

The following libraries have been updated to their latest versions:
– Dear ImGui: 1.89.1
– ImPlot: 0.14
– SQlite: 3.40.0
– SDL2 (FFmpeg plugin): 2.0.26
