MangoHud performance overlay version v0.6.9 is out now as a nice update

By - | Views: 31,502

It's been a while since the last release but a nice update to the performance hud and benchmarking tool MangoHud is out now. This is the tool used for the performance stats on Steam Deck.

Something I'm a big fan of, because I use it plenty on desktop Linux too, it's one of the most useful open source projects for gaming. An example of a pretty basic layout for performance:

Version 0.6.9 brings these changes:

Changes

  • Added support for it8603 sensor
  • Conform to VUID-VkDeviceCreateInfo-pNext-00373
  • Add GalaxyClient, RedLauncher, Amazon Games and gamescope to blacklist
  • Add Artix and Nobara to build.sh

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a crash when using zink, and certain games using DXVK e.g. FarCry 3/4
  • Fixed reporting amdgpu clock speed
  • Fixed an issue with exec causing certain games to crash
  • Fixed incorrect metrics for ryzen 7000 series iGPUs
  • Fixed discovery of wine binary when using wine64 build

There's also the addition of additional options to further tweak the experience how you want it:

  • exec_name - Display current exec name.
  • hud_compact - Display compact version of MangoHud.
  • hud_no_margin - Remove margins around MangoHud.
  • horizontal - Display Mangohud in a horizontal position.
  • toggle_hud_position Toggle MangoHud postion. Default is R_Shift + F11
  • fps_limit_method If FPS limiter should wait before or after presenting a frame. Choose late (default) for the lowest latency or early for the smoothest frametimes.
  • picmip Mip-map LoD bias. Negative values will increase texture sharpness (and aliasing). Positive values will increase texture blurriness (-16 to 16)
  • af Anisotropic filtering level. Improves sharpness of textures viewed at an angle (0 to 16)
  • bicubic Force bicubic filtering
  • trilinear Force trilinear filtering
  • retro Disables linear texture filtering. Makes textures look blocky
  • position new option: bottom_center

An example of a nice clean horizontal layout I tested today with Everspace 2:

well this is a nice suprise

I believe "position: bottom_center" should use "-" instead of "_". I've found the "center" options haven't worked for a little while using a horizontal bar, I get it positioned on the left with a full background bar [bug].

If anyone has this working then please share their config!

In some old posts, I've seen some graphs shown (not just for frametime). Did MangoHud remove such feature?

prob configuration options in the config file. I prefer to use GOverlay to set my mangohud up.. works nicely and typically exposes all the options for it

Nope not sure like said I use GOverlay to configure my magohud and haven't fired it up yet since the mangohud update as not sure its updated yet with the new options. will go try it out once a update comes in for that see what options it sets in the mangohud config

I believe you are looking for the graphs feature documented in the 0.6.0 release notes.

I guess, but firstly it doesn't work and secondly it's not in the current version documentation, so may be it was removed?
