  • MangoHud

    A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more. Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/Gj5YmBb

  • Note: Prepending NAME=VALUE to set variables only works in shells. If some program takes an argument and you want to only pass some variable to the program you're launching with that other program, you can use env. For example MANGOHUD=1 gamescope env MANGOHUD=0 vkcube will render mangohud at native resolution on top of gamescope, but not on top of the game itself. Not resetting the variable to 0 would result in two overlays.
