2 – Release Notes

GeeXLab 0.54.0 is available for Windows 32/64-bit and Linux 64-bit. GeeXLab 0.54 engine powers all latest versions of GPU Shark 2, FurMark 2, MSI Kombustor and FurMark ROG. Other tools like YAFFplayer or MadView3D will be update shortly. The public release of FurMark 2 is imminent, after what I’ll take time to update GeeXLab for Raspberry Pi (the RPi 5 is around the corner) and macOS versions.

Here are the main changes:

PhysX 5 plugin

The PhysX 5 plugin has been updated with latest PhysX 5.3.0 and is now available on Windows and Linux platforms.

ASSIMP plugin

The ASSIMP plugin has been updated with latest ASSIMP 5.3.1. This last version ASSIMP brings only minor changes (bugfixes) but updating to the latest version doesn’t hurt.

Vulkan plugin

I updated the Vulkan plugin and improved a bit the acquire / present part with better synchronization. I added the fullscreen exclusive mode support but I didn’t manage to get it work. According to the specs and the Vulkan SDK, the VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2 extension is required by the VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive extension. But weirdly, VK_KHR_get_surface_capabilities2 is not exposed by latest NVIDIA, AMD or Intel drivers. Maybe I missed something. It doesn’t matter, the FSE support is there and I will update it as soon as possible.

GPU monitoring plugin

I added the support of latest Radeon RX 7800 XT / RX 7700 XT and I added a new function (gh_gml.get_gpu_commercial_name()) that retrieves the commercial name of a graphics card. For example get_gpu_commercial_name return MSI RTX 2070 Ventus 8G for my RTX 2070. I tried to support most of the GeForce RTX 30 / RTX 40, Radeon RX 6000 / RX 7000 and Intel Arc graphics cards.

Internal libraries updates

The following libraries have been updated to their latest versions:
– Python 3.11.6
– Dear ImGui 1.89.9
– SQLite 3.43.1
– ImPlot 0.16
– imspinner
– imgui-filebrowser
– Spout 2.007.012

Last thing, now, when a new version is available you will see a small dialog box showing the new version as well as the download button:
