In this video I cover how to install some alternatives to MSI Afterburner in Linux called MangoHUD and Green With Envy (GWE). MangoHUD. https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#mangohud MangoHUD is a tool displays the framerate, frame timings, CPU, RAM, GPU usage when playing a game. In most cases, you will be installing MangoHUD using your Linux distribution's package manager, although Arch Linux users will be installing it from the AUR. To use MangoHUD with games launched from Steam, all you need to do is add the following into the game’s custom launch options. mangohud %command% Alternatively for games launched through Lutris, right click on the game, and select Configure, from here navigate to System options and toggle the FPS counter (MangoHud) option. Click Save once done. By default, MangoHUD is configured using a config file, although if you want a GUI option, I recommend using GOverlay. GOverlay. https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay#goverlay Like MangoHUD, GOverlay can be installed using your Linux distribution's package manager, although Arch Linux users again, will be installing it from the AUR. The application interface itself supports three projects, MangoHUD, vkBasalt and ReplaySorcery, although we only need to focus on the first option. On the MangoHUD tab, you will see four sections, Visual, Performance, Metrics and Extras. The Visual tab will allow you specify the orientation, fonts used, size of the fonts, the theme, positioning, and the transparency of MangoHUD when it is displayed. The Performance tab allows you to set FPS limits, enable V-Sync and logging for benchmarking purposes. The Metrics tab is where you can really get into the meat and potatoes of MangoHUD, as this is dictates what metric will be displayed on the overlay. The final tab is Extras, and I only really enable the FPS and Frame Time option here. Each of these changes will be updated on the fly and will be displayed on the right-hand window. Once you have made your selections, click on the Save button located at the bottom right to save your config. You can also launch a test application with MangoHUD applied by clicking on the hamburger icon and selecting the Run VKcube test option. Overclocking GPU On Linux. Much like Windows, it is possible to set custom fan profiles or overclock AMD and Nvidia graphic cards on Linux. I recommend using CoreCTRL for AMD hardware and Green with Envy (GWE) for Nvidia hardware. https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl#corectrl Green With Envy (GWE). https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe#greenwithenvy-gwe Green with Envy (GWE) is a system utility designed to provide information, control fans, and overclock Nvidia graphic cards. As of this video, GWE only works with Xorg and not Wayland. To enable the option to overclock and create custom fan profiles, a coolbit value of 12 needs to be set in the xorg.conf file, which is usually found at: /etc/X11/ First, open the xorg.conf file using a text editor, navigate down to the “Device” section, and just below the Board Name entry, add. Option “Coolbits” “12” Save once done and reboot your machine to apply. Once this is done, Green With Envy (GWE) can be installed as a Flatpak. The interface of Green with Envy is highly informative, it will display the current temperature of your GPU, the driver version installed, memory consumption, clock speeds, and current fan speeds. To create a new overclock profile, click the drop-down menu, select add new profile, name the profile, and specify the new parameters, click Apply and then Save to close the window. The new overclock profile will be applied immediately, however if you want to set the values back to default, select the Default (0, 0) option from the drop-down menu and click Apply. Similarly, to create a custom Fan profile, click the drop-down menu, select add new profile, name the profile, click the Step + button and specify the new parameters. Click Save to save the profile and then Apply to enable. Once again, if you want to set the values back to default, select the Auto (VBIOS controller) option from the drop-down menu and click Apply. #linuxgaming #greenwithenvy #mangohud Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Intelligent-Gaming-101640054531594 Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@Intelligentgaming Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/inspectorgecko
