MangoHud is basically my go-to when it comes to keeping an eye on Linux gaming performance, one of those must-have utilities and a new release is out now. It allows you to get a HUD on top of your game for tracking things like FPS, frame timing, temperatures, RAM / VRAM usage and much more.
Here's how it looks with the horizontal setting in Death Stranding 2 on Linux:
This release is mostly a tidying up release, bringing a good few bug fixes including:
- egl: added missing
HAVE_WAYLANDcheck.- amdgpu: sometimes cpu power is not available in gpu_metrics so try sysfs.
- amdgpu: would try to access cpuStats during shutdown.
- amdgpu: gpu_metrics was not working on 32bit due to incorrect size checks.
- params: race condition that would cause a crash when using presets.
- gpus: fixed a double free of params crash.
- glx: don't permit setting vsync to -1 as it's not in spec and will crash Zink.
- glx: fix corrupted font textures in some games.
- mangoapp: font was not being recreated.
- mangoapp: fix locking render thread on no_display.
- colors: HDR wasn't being converted after config reload.
- display_server: was being displayed without explicitly setting it.
- vulkan: fix swapchain image handling by indexing per-image state by image index instead of acquisition order.
- no_small_font: was not working at all.
- vulkan: added missing free for commandbuffer in shutdown.
- ImGui/Implot: was not being cleaned up properly.
- GL: reverted dlsym changes that caused crashes with nvidia drivers.
- preset: 4: procmem was not being set.
- Allow HUD sizes smaller than 32px.
- FEX: was not working with gamescope.
And some new features too:
- Added panthor driver support.
- Added support for DDR5 Ram temp through SPD5118 driver.
ram_tempoption.- Added support for more units than KiB for gpu memory in fdinfo.
- Bumped Vulkan-headers to 1.3.283.
- Bumped ImGui to 1.91.6.
- ImGui: font: reduced oversampling from 3 to 1.
- ImGui: font: turned of AA.
gpu_listpermit using+and:as separators.proc_vramdisplayed for all GPUs.- Blacklist: added GardenGate_Launcher.exe.
- Blacklist: added KanvasLauncher.exe.
MANGOHUD_FPS_LIMITadds limit to the front of the limits list.- Added SDL GPU as an engine.
