HYDRA 2.0B PRO - RELEASED! (BIG UPDATE)

Hello everyone!

Introducing update 2.0B — our largest engineering push this year. It delivers a record volume of new and rewritten code, on par with the total of previous monthly releases. You’ll get the features you’ve been waiting for, plus broad gains in reliability and speed. Core systems were refactored for lower overhead and faster response, and key algorithms were redesigned to run smarter and more efficiently.

Presentations of key innovations can be found here:

• HYDRA SQ AGENT — benchmark assistant for PBO2 and CO tuning

• New extended USER PROFILES for HYBRID OC

• HYDRA PROJECT ROADMAP

Another bonus is significantly updated diagnostics for NVIDIA graphics cards, which, in addition to auto-overclocking, now informs the user about the results and shares tips.

Core VID locking and new sensors are available in RTSS and monitoring.

The tool for creating the ideal curve has also been updated.

As always, the full list of changes is just below on this page.

CHANGELOG:

Added

• SQ AGENT — CPU benchmark and co‑pilot for PBO2 and per‑core Curve Optimizer, focused on maintaining balance within CCDs (TESTS tab).

• Core VID Lock (NVIDIA) — manually pin the GPU core’s operating VID, mirroring manual overclocking behavior (RTX‑TUNER tab).

• Experimental Memory Stability Test (NVIDIA) — new stress path for diagnosing memory stability on NVIDIA GPUs (AMD support planned for the next update).

• Post‑diagnostic summary (NVIDIA) — after auto‑tuning, HYDRA now provides a detailed analysis of the generated curve with actionable recommendations.

• New RTSS/monitoring sensors (NVIDIA) — added throttling cause and memory controller load.

• User Profiles (HYBRID OC) — expanded options; everything enthusiasts need in one place.

Improved

• NVIDIA diagnostic (auto‑tuner) — redesigned for faster runs and higher accuracy.

• NVIDIA Curve Editor — revamped tool for precise, easy adjustment of the core frequency/voltage curve.

• HYBRID OC UI — refreshed for clearer visuals and simpler workflows.

• Resource usage — lower CPU overhead; PresentMon integration now consumes less processor time.

• Window state handling — more reliable behavior for tray and minimization.

• Updated libraries — overall stability and fault tolerance improved.

• Localization compatibility — better support on systems with non‑English OS locales.

• CPU support — improved handling of processors with disabled CCDs.

• HYBRID OC custom profiles — consolidated into a single storage file.

• Profile creation (HYBRID OC) — hardened algorithm; in edge cases profiles are created with a logged warning.

• AMD GPU diagnostics — improved stability.

• Conflict Check module — updated logic and messaging (LOGGING tab).

• CPU diagnostics — minor enhancements and additional anti‑loop safeguards.

• Driver‑crash resilience — when the graphics driver crashes, HYDRA now restores the Windows Performance Counters used by several features.

Fixed

• Graphics tests — corrected wrong resolution selection for the Elemental and Pure tests on systems using custom display scaling.

• Miscellaneous — numerous minor bug fixes and text/tooltip updates.

KNOWN ISSUES:

* False positive of antivirus (like always).
