HYDRA 1.9D PRO - RELEASED!

Hello everyone!

This month has proven to be exceptionally intense and demanding. The reason isn’t just the shelling, but also the wealth of new knowledge that I was desperate to put into this update. Since the project already encompasses so many different areas, I had to devote proper attention to updating HYDRA’s key libraries in order to boost performance (HYDRA now consumes less CPU time), stability, and inter-module communication.

This update introduces new low-level communication technologies with the processor, known as MSR, which allow you to access unique diagnostic metrics (I’ll share more details soon) and gain control over Ryzen-specific developer features and functions—such as MCA (for Zen 5 + MCAX) and frame-time stretching.

We’ve improved several modules (yes, again—progress never stops): game‐detection, HYBRID OC, T-CONTROL, RTSS, and diagnostics.

Perhaps the most visually striking addition in this release is the Game Analyzer, which works alongside RTSS to inform the user how comfortable the frame rate is by analyzing five metrics (Jitter, StdDev, P95 FT, >16.7 ms, and >33.3 ms).

I know it’s not always possible to deliver an update as reliable as I’d like, but I am incredibly grateful for your trust and support. Thank you, and I bow deeply.

CHANGELOG:

• A number of fixes and improvements for "RTSS".

• There is a new option in the settings ("SETTINGS" tab) called “Rolling window (s)”. It controls the size of the temporary window for which the frame-time metrics are calculated.

• Low-level optimization of HYDRA to reduce its own CPU usage. Most of the included DLLs have been updated.

• "HYBRID OC" received several stability-focused improvements. I began modifying it further, but not all changes made it into this release.

• "HYBRID OC" now includes protection against setting frequencies below the base clock—values can no longer drop under the baseline.

• CPPC tags are now retrieved via MSR.

• Various enhancements to the CPU diagnostic algorithm: each cycle now triggers a system reboot, and the verification interval has been significantly adjusted.

• Added optimized "AMD CO" search presets for the 9950X3D and 9900X3D. "HOC search" is not ready yet.

• Implemented a dedicated CCD verification test for previously discovered "AMD CO" values("TESTS tab").

• Added support for "C6" state management on Zen 5.

• Added an MSR-based check for low-level CPU errors (MCA) during per-core "AMD CO" searches.

• Added an MSR-based check for frame-time stretching during per-core "AMD CO" searches (e.g. logs now show “STR: 1.300”).

• Several improvements to the game trigger feature.

• Enhanced "T-CONTROL" for dual-CCD processors—non-game processes will attempt to run on the unused CCD during gameplay, rather than on the one running the game.

• Introduced "Game Analyzer", which tracks five key metrics in-game via "RTSS" to inform the user about frame-rate smoothness.

• Fixed bugs in the comparative tests "DEFAULT vs HYBRID OC" and "DEFAULT vs AMD PBO2".

• Improved NVIDIA GPU diagnostics—each cycle now runs two tests, prioritizing curve identification first, then VRAM stability.

• Finally resolved the issue where "eCLK" (if supported by the motherboard) could not be set for CPU diagnostics.

• Fixed a visual bug where eCLK adjustments could inadvertently affect MEMCLK or UCLK.

• Enhanced detection of conflicts with other applications ("LOGS" tab).

• Corrected various typos and description errors. Global refactoring.

KNOWN ISSUES:

* False positive of antivirus (like always).
