What is heatmap and GPU Mode meaning in keyboard backlight setting?

[MC-dusk]

I'm using TUF Gaming A15, and switch to heatmap and GPU Mode in keyboard backlight setting, but nothing special happens, and it just changes my light color.
Are those modes available in my PC?

It colors your keyboard proportionately to your CPU temp

Do you mean heatmap mode will change my keyboard light color which is related to the CPU temp?
What about GPU Mode, is it corresponding to GPU temp?

[seerge]

Yes, Heatmap will change from Green to Yellow and Red based on temp
GPU mode just changes color based on current GPU #1068

Thank you, the CPU mode color seems changed obviously when I'm running games (90℃), but GPU mode color is always green, even it's 70℃, I'll keep observing it.
Maybe it's just beacuse the GPU temp is not too high. For the most of the time, the temp interval (about 45~65℃) won't change the color.

GPU mode changes color based on your active "GPU mode" in the app. If you are in Eco it's green, in standard - yellow, ultimate -red.

Sorry, I misunderstand, then that's all right.

I received a weird mail notification from ameliajhons said:

A heatmap in keyboard backlight settings visually displays frequently used keys. "GPU Mode" synchronizes lighting effects with GPU activity for dynamic illumination during gaming or visual tasks

Though it's not true in this scene, I have to admit that I also think so before posting this discussion.
