Update 2023/03/25

• Updated AMD ADLX and Intel IGCL
• Better handling of integrated graphics (UHD Graphics and Iris Xe Graphics )
• Optional ADL fallback (TBP Sim for RDNA2, Vega VRM temps etc.)

Update 2023/03/08

• Reset thread affinity to default when starting a new game
• Overlay entry showing current thread affinity state

New features

• Implementation network ping overlay entry
• Thread affinity controller (Intel hybrid architecture, AMD Ryzen with 2 CCDs)

Thread Affinity

• Intel: default -> P-cores -> E-cores -> default
• AMD: default -> CCD0 -> CCD1 -> default

Warning: If a game has a large thread pool, forcing scheduling to half the number of threads can lead to increased context switches and thus noticeable frame times spikes. This was the case, for example, with Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition.
