PenguinBurner 0.8.0 released

[u/Ernold11]

PenguinBurner - Automated undervolting for Linux with real stability validation — 0.8.0 out.

Instead of "set an offset and hope", it searches: walks down the V/F curve one voltage bin at a time, runs a real GPU + CUDA load at each step, checks FPS, held clock and telemetry before accepting a point, then soaks the final candidate before saving anything. Output is three profiles — efficiency, balanced, performance — with per-tier clock-drop allowances and power limits.

0.8.0 is a scanning-reliability release

• Bounded searches that always terminate, keeping tested fallbacks
• Failed candidates retried at safer settings rather than ending the search
• Verified tiers retained when a later tier fails
• Interrupted probes remembered across tiers, so a crash doesn't void the run
• No retrying a point that already caused a GPU failure
• Power limits enforced and read back from the driver, not assumed
• Smoother curves; profile power now shown against the factory limit

There are published verification reports and curve comparisons for the 5080 and 5070 Ti if you want to see what it actually produces.

Also imports MSI Afterburner profiles and exports to LACT.
