MangoHud VS corectrl

Mangohud (GOverlay), libstrangle, gamescope. Pick your poison.

Can you try this build instead: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/files/11832956/MangoHud-978c0fd_sniper-0.20230509.49493.tar.gz

Looks like MangoHud?

MangoHUD, if you want a performance overlay like MSI afterburner fps counter

I just woke up and thought about a different thing, so small correction: the SteamOS performance overlay is a separate open-source project called MangoHud.

> I only want some decent fan control instead of relying on random scripts off github. AMD has to release some sort of GUI panel for sure.

Have you tried CoreCtrl [0]?

> My 5800x3D and 6800XT deliver an outstanding Linux gaming experience.

I have a 7900XTX and performance under Linux has been at least on par with Windows, sometimes better (though not by much).

> May i ask what driver features are you missing?

I'm not GP but I'd love to see frame gen and stuff like anti-lag and upscaling integrated into amdgpu with some sort of official way of setting it (though looking at Adrenaline it might actually be best if it's left up to the community to create the GUIs).

> The AMD experience on Linux is vastly better than the Nvidia one.

I just wish we had an equivalent of AMD Software on Linux, so I could mess around with the settings more.

For example, I like to limit the GPU to 50-75% of it's total power for ambient heat/cooling reasons, or UPS/PSU/electricity bill reasons when specific games make it hard to cap framerates.

With AMD Software on Windows, it's no big deal. On Linux, the best I found was CoreCtrl: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl

Sadly, it doesn't seem to work all that well for my use case, which I mentioned in my blog post when using Linux instead of Windows as my daily driver at home too: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/a-week-of-linux-instead-of-...

> You see, by default the card controls its own GPU and memory clock values, which means that when idle the GPU draws around 40 W of power. However, if I want to set a limit for how much W in total it can use, it also makes me set the GPU and memory clock values, which will them be fixed: so at idle the GPU will use about 60 W of power.

I'm bias toward Asus motherboards. I have an "Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II" and a "Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) ATX". Both boards have a fan control feature in the BIOS/EFI. On the Windows side both boards come with Ai Suite 3 software. On the Linux side you might want to take a look at Corectrl ==> https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl

I use core control to mange a temperamental amd CPU/RAM combo (also disables iGPU). I had to add a amd boot flag using kernelstub to be able to set modes on the CPU.

Maybe this will help. https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl

I recently got myself a 7900XT and I'd like to mess with the fan curve and OC it a little bit using CoreCtrl. I followed the steps on https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/wikis/Setup to enable it, add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff to the grub config and reboot.

CoreCtl?
