Haven't used Mango HUD, but I think it was forked from Mesa Vulkan overlay and diverged into its own direction.
But similar idea I suppose. If Mango HUD can log the values you need - you can use that all the same for analysis.

Yeah I've been using MangoHud's frame time graph and logging functionality, which check out, no spikes upwards.
I usually limit to 66FPS by the way, but that's just a habit I got from using Nvidia's "fast sync" on Windows years ago, where any frames delivered before the next refresh are discarded (bloody fantastic solution that was, wish we had that).
Unlimited framerates exhibit the same issue. I've updated the main post thanks to your good questions.
Will try 59fps as my limit, thanks! :)

Search about MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE usage here: https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html
Details on logic here: https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/man/html/VkPresentModeKHR.html

Or instead of limiting try using one of the alternatives to vsync from those present modes. I think one of them is similar to what AMD call "enhanced sync".

Oh, right! Yeah didn't think about that myself either but it makes sense now that you bring it up haha. Not worried about tearing BTW.
Yeah, saw your link; had no idea about these envvars! Gonna experiment with those when I have time 😁 Really appreciate it.
