| Introduced | SE6 |
|---|---|
seda-tweak is a component of Seda's Enhancements, introduced in SE6.
Purpose
This allows you to apply some very basic tweaks to the execution method used to launch an application.
Requirements
Graphical
This script does not have a GUI at this time.
Terminal
(seda-tweak) This script can now be called by programs such as Steam, by prepending it to the game launch command. You must also call --tr or --fx or --classic, to choose which processor you want to apply tweaks for.
(seda-tweak) Greatly improved. Call it from the menu, or use --tr, --fx, or --insane. The insane mode will run your task on a randomly selected thread, and is just as smart to use as it sounds.
(seda-tweak) Now autodetects processor. Currently supports AMD FX-8xxx/9xxx, and the Threadripper 1950X. Does NOT support the Threadripper 1900/1920X, and probably never will. Note that the --fx and --tr options NO LONGER WORK. You must use "seda-tweak --default %command%" (without the quotes) to launch games via Steam.
(seda-tweak) Now has a new option, --fx9590, which will set an AMD FX-9590 to 4.0GHz while gaming instead of 4.7GHz, as the computing power is most likely not required for the majority of titles. This is a workaround if you have insufficient cooling. If you want to unleash the full power of your processor, stick with --default. The --fx9590 option only works on the AMD FX-9590; attempting to use it on any other processor will fail.
(seda-tweak) Now supports Netbook/Notebook processors - everything from the AMD E1-2100 through to the AMD Ryzen 5 3550H. Another change is that the --fx9590 option has been removed and changed to --fx. This is only for the 8 Thread processors such as the FX-8xxx/9xxx series. If you are using a FX-4xxx/6xxx series, please use --default.
(seda-tweak) Added new option as --tr. This is designed for Threadrippers. Can be used instead of --default for Whitehaven and Colfax type Threadrippers.
(seda-tweak) Now creates menu entries for Steam and Battle.Net, if they are installed. They will appear under
Seda's Enhancements -> Tools & Extras.
(seda-tweak) Fixed a bug that set the performance entirely wrong on FX-4xxx/6xxx processors, and removed --tr and --fx options as processors can now be automatically detected. The --default option can now be used for Proton applications. This is when you want to run Steam normally, but tweak certain games launched only. This is the optimal setting.
(seda-tweak) Improved performance. Changed execution method for Whitehaven, Colfax, and Kaveri based systems.
(seda-tweak) Fixed bug where Kaveri systems could not execute seda-tweak from within Steam. Fixed bug where the GUI did not always work. Fixed bug where the --insane option didn't work for Wine/Proton. Fixed bug where performance was much lower than expected with new Debian updates while using seda-tweak.
(seda-tweak) Fixed bug where the Threadripper 2990WX was being launched incorrectly when called with the --insane option. Fixed bug where the execution method used for the Threadripper 2990WX was incorrect for Steam games. Fixed bug where the Threadripper 2990WX was being called incorrectly for Battle.Net. Changed the Threadripper 2990WX default execution method to run software on Node 2.
(seda-tweak) Now has a --seda option, designed for use with other Seda's Enhancements scripts.
(seda-tweak) Now enabled for Firefox and Thunderbird.
(seda-tweak) Now supports ray tracing on most amdgpu devices. This uses OpenCL, and requires mesa-opencl-icd (and mesa-opencl-icd:i386 for use with 32-bit software) to be installed. Testing has been done as far back as the FX-9590 for CPU & Radeon 7790 for GPU; framerate is only marginally affected as long as the graphics card and processor are not already saturated by the game in question.
(seda-tweak) Various improvements for FX-8xxx/9xxx, Threadripper 19xx/29xx. In some extreme cases on Threadrippers these can result in 200% performance improvements with less than 25% the power consumption. You must configure this to take advantage of it, assistance is available.
(seda-tweak) Updated for support for newer platforms. However, most of what this tool used to do is now covered by a either seda-affinity or updates to Linux/Mesa. This will be removed in a later release.
