That's the Gallium Hud, but you need to use the open source drivers to use it.
It's a helpful graph and also very configurable.

- Binary Domain (this went from "unplayable" to "near native performance")
- Risen (same as above, has some little problems with font rendering)
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (the difference between Nine and CSMT is impressive, but game sometime hangs/crashes)
- Blackguards (this already worked well with CSMT, with Nine is even better)
- Alien Rage - Unlimited (uses Unreal Engine 3, graphically impressive, stresses Gallium Nine causing sometimes complete PC hangs, but the majority of the time works very well)
- Two Worlds II
- Deadly Premonition (the videos don't work, you'll see a black screen, seems a codec problem even other users have, but pressing some keys will let you skip them, then you can play without problems)
Using Manjaro Linux, wine-gaming-nine from AUR, and:
$> inxi -GGraphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn PRO [Radeon HD 7850 / R7 265 / R9 270 1024SP]
Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 driver: radeon Resolution: [email protected]
GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.45.0 / 4.7.7-1-MANJARO, LLVM 3.8.1)
GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.3
The biggest problem I'm having with Gallium Nine is that it can easily hang the entire PC.
Nice that you're pushing your 7850 to the max with Gallium Nine! I used that card too and it is great and pretty cheap (on Ebay).
I didn't try Alien Rage and Van Helsing because I still don't own them, but I tried the others and I remember them working very good, especially Blackguards.
There is an entry on WineHQ that should fix the video issue with Deadly Premonition but it didn't work for me the last time I tried. The game uses some strange codecs that prevent these videos to properly play..
as for your last sentence you can thinks this way:
I'm testing some games developed with that engine and they, more or less, have the same issues, including the "PC hang"
[You can read more on my Blog where I wrote a specific post](https://manerosss.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/unreal-engine-games-on-linux-using-wine/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true)
You can try to run the game windowed at your native resolution and then switch to fullscreen by pressing either F11 or Alt+Enter.
I play Red Orchestra 2 a lot and it seems to crash less that way (wasted >50 hours of my life on WineG9 with it)
