It only happens in this game and doesn’t appear to affect the framerate or performance. However since rebooting the game display has inexplicably become ‘red & white’ instead of color. Next, I repeated the Shadow Of The Tomb Raider built-in benchmark again using the lowest graphical preset with 1280×720 resolution. The following is a short extract captured during the benchmark:
In Grand Theft Auto V using default settings, 1280×720 resolution and ‘VSync’ off, during the final built-in benchmark the frame rate average was 67.7 FPS: Starting with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, using default settings with 1280×720 resolution the average frame rate was 90.0 FPS:Īs demonstrated by the following short screen capture: Then after creating the directories ‘.config/MangoHud’ and ‘mangologs’ I copied the example configuration file ‘/usr/share/doc/mangohud/’ to ‘.config/MangoHud/nf’ and tweaked a few of the settings like adding temperatures, removing frame timings, setting an output folder and changing the on-screen position and toggle keys so as not to conflict with in-game keys:įinally, I simply started Steam with ‘mangohud steam’. First I installed an AUR helper with the command The installation of MangoHud was extremely simple. So now I’ve been able to capture the average frame rate for the games I previously tested and I’ll present them below. Until now, however, for Linux, I’ve always had to estimate the average FPS as I’ve not been aware of a good reliable equivalent.įortunately several ‘commenters’ recommended using MangoHud, a Linux open-source Vulkan/OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, CPU/GPU usage, and temperatures similar to MSI Afterburner.
If the ‘hackendeck’ had just been Steam on Windows then to review gaming performance I’d just use MSI Afterburner. Interestingly the ‘hackendeck’ uses a Linux OS, specifically Manjaro, as whilst Valve based their earlier version of Steam OS on Debian, they have now switched to being based on Arch. Previously I followed Valve’s documentation to build a ‘hackendeck’ using a mini PC to emulate their highly anticipated Steam Deck.
