MangoHud

A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more.

Example:

Installation

Build

If you wish to compile MangoHud to keep up to date with any changes - first clone this repository and cd into it:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud.git
cd MangoHud

To build it, execute:

./build.sh build
./build.sh package

NOTE: If you are running an Ubuntu-based, Arch-based, Fedora-based, or openSUSE-based distro, the build script will automatically detect and prompt you to install missing build dependencies. If you run into any issues with this please report them!

Once done, proceed to the installation.

Install

Source

If you have compiled MangoHud from source, to install it, execute:

./build.sh install

You can then subsequently uninstall MangoHud via the following command

./build.sh uninstall

Pre-packaged binaries

GitHub releases

If you do not wish to compile anything, simply download the file under Releases, extract it, and from within the extracted folder in terminal, execute:

./mangohud-setup.sh install

Arch-based distributions

If you are using an Arch-based distribution, install mangohud and lib32-mangohud with your favourite AUR helper. mangohud-git and lib32-mangohud-git are also available on the AUR if you want the up-to-date version of MangoHud.

Fedora

If you are using Fedora, to install the MangoHud package, execute:

sudo dnf install mangohud

Solus

If you are using Solus, to install MangoHud simply execute:

sudo eopkg it mangohud

Flatpak

If you are using Flatpaks, you will have to add the Flathub repository for your specific distribution, and then, to install it, execute:

For Steam flatpak
flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam.Utility.MangoHud

To enable MangoHud for all Steam games:

flatpak override --user --env=MANGOHUD=1 com.valvesoftware.Steam

Normal usage

To enable the MangoHud overlay layer for Vulkan and OpenGL, run :

mangohud /path/to/app

For Lutris games, go to the System options in Lutris (make sure that advanced options are enabled) and add this to the Command prefix setting:

mangohud

For Steam games, you can add this as a launch option:

mangohud %command%

Or alternatively, add MANGOHUD=1 to your shell profile (Vulkan only).

OpenGL

OpenGL games may also need dlsym hooking. Add MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1 to your command like MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1 mangohud %command% for Steam.

Some Linux native OpenGL games overrides LD_PRELOAD and stops MangoHud from working. You can sometimes fix this by editing LD_PRELOAD in the start script LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/mangohud/lib/

Hud configuration

MangoHud comes with a config file which can be used to set configuration options globally or per application. The priorities of different config files are:

  1. /path/to/application/dir/MangoHud.conf
  2. $HOME/.config/MangoHud/{application_name}.conf
  3. $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

You can find an example config in /usr/share/doc/mangohud

GOverlay is a GUI application that can be used to manage the config


MANGOHUD_CONFIG and MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE environment variables

You can also customize the hud by using the MANGOHUD_CONFIG environment variable while separating different options with a comma. This takes priority over any config file.

You can also specify configuration file with MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE=/path/to/config for applications whose names are hard to guess (java, python etc).

A partial list of parameters are below. See the config file for a complete list. Parameters that are enabled by default have to be explicitly disabled. These (currently) are fps, frame_timing, cpu_stats (cpu load), gpu_stats (gpu load).

Variable Description
cpu_temp
gpu_temp
Displays current CPU/GPU temperature
core_load Displays load & frequency per core
gpu_core_clock

font_glyph_ranges Specify extra font glyph ranges, comma separated: korean, chinese, chinese_simplified, japanese, cyrillic, thai, vietnamese, latin_ext_a, latin_ext_b. If you experience crashes or text is just squares, reduce font size or glyph ranges.
no_small_font Use primary font size for smaller text like units

Customizeable hud dimensions (in pixels)
position= Location of the hud: top-left (default), top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, top-center

no_display Hide the hud by default
toggle_hud=
toggle_logging=
Modifiable toggle hotkeys. Default are Shift_R+F12 and Shift_L+F2, respectively.
reload_cfg= Change keybind for reloading the config. Default = Shift_L+F4
time
time_format=%T
Displays local time. See std::put_time for formatting help. NOTE: Sometimes apps (or AMDVLK (should be fixed in latest)) may set TZ (timezone) environment variable to UTC/GMT
gpu_color
gpu_color
vram_color
ram_color
io_color
engine_color
frametime_color
background_color
text_color
media_player_color
Change default colors: gpu_color=RRGGBB
alpha Set the opacity of all text and frametime graph 0.0-1.0
background_alpha Set the opacity of the background 0.0-1.0
read_cfg Add to MANGOHUD_CONFIG as first parameter to also load config file. Otherwise only MANGOHUD_CONFIG parameters are used.
output_folder Set location of the output files (Required for logging)
log_duration Set amount of time the logging will run for (in seconds)
vsync
gl_vsync
Set vsync for OpenGL or Vulkan
media_player Show media player metadata
media_player_name Force media player DBus service name without the org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 part, like spotify, vlc, audacious or cantata. If none is set, MangoHud tries to switch between currently playing players.
media_player_order Media player metadata field order. Defaults to title,artist,album.
font_scale_media_player Change size of media player text relative to font_size
io_read
io_write
Show non-cached IO read/write, in MiB/s
pci_dev Select GPU device in multi-gpu setups

fps_limit Limit the apps framerate. Comma-separated list of one or more FPS values. 0 means unlimited.
toggle_fps_limit Cycle between FPS limits. Defaults to Shift_L+F1.
arch Show if the application is 32 or 64 bit
histogram Change fps graph to histogram

wine_color Change color of the wine/proton text
cpu_mhz Shows the CPUs current MHz
gpu_load_change Changes the color of the GPU load depending on load
gpu_load_color Set the colors for the gpu load change low,medium and high. e.g gpu_load_color=0000FF,00FFFF,FF00FF
gpu_load_value Set the values for medium and high load e.g gpu_load_value=50,90
cpu_load_change Changes the color of the CPU load depending on load
cpu_load_color Set the colors for the gpu load change low,medium and high. e.g cpu_load_color=0000FF,00FFFF,FF00FF
cpu_load_value Set the values for medium and high load e.g cpu_load_value=50,90
cellpadding_y Set the vertical cellpadding, default is -0.085
frametime Display frametime next to fps text
table_columns Set the number of table columns for ImGui, defaults to 3
blacklist Add a program to the blacklist. e.g blacklist=vkcube,WatchDogs2.exe

Example: MANGOHUD_CONFIG=cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,height=500,font_size=32 Because comma is also used as option delimiter and needs to be escaped for values with a backslash, you can use + like MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=60+30+0 instead.

Note: Width and Height are set automatically based on the font_size, but can be overridden.

Note: RAPL is currently used for Intel CPUs to show power draw with cpu_power which may be unreadable for non-root users due to vulnerability. The corresponding energy_uj file has to be readable by corrensponding user, e.g. by running chmod o+r /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl\:0/energy_uj as root, else the power shown will be 0 W, though having the file readable may potentially be a security vulnerability persisting until system reboots.

Vsync

OpenGL Vsync

  • -1 = Adaptive sync
  • 0 = Off
  • 1 = On
  • n = Sync to refresh rate / n.

Vulkan Vsync

  • 0 = Adaptive VSync (FIFO_RELAXED_KHR)
  • 1 = Off (IMMEDIATE_KHR)
  • 2 = Mailbox (VSync with uncapped FPS) (MAILBOX_KHR)
  • 3 = On (FIFO_KHR)

All vulkan vsync options might not be supported on your device, you can check what your device supports here vulkan.gpuinfo.org

Keybindings

  • Shift_L+F2 : Toggle Logging
  • Shift_L+F4 : Reload Config
  • Shift_R+F12: Toggle Hud

MangoHud FPS logging

You must set a valid path for output_folder in your configuration to store logs in.

When you toggle logging (using the keybind Shift_L+F2), a file is created with the game name plus a date & timestamp in your output_folder.

Log files can be uploaded to Flightlessmango.com to create graphs automatically.

You can share the created page with others, just link it.

Multiple log files

It's possible to upload multiple files when using Flightlessmango.com. You can rename them to your preferred names and upload them in a batch. These filenames will be used as the legend in the graph.
