PC stats widgets

[CaffeineAddict]

I'm playing GOG games with Lutris trough wine and would like to have in-game hardware usage stats, CPU\GPU\RAM etc.

Other than this, while not gaming what cool options are there to see PC hardware usage stats such as widgets or similar?

Try Mangohud.

For this probably Conky or some plugin that the DE provides that you are using.

Thank you for suggestions!
it looks like Mangohud is having troubles showing stats my GPU, but other than this it works fine.

Any clues what could be problem not showing stats for GTX 1650?

I have enabled:

gpu_name
gpu_stats
gpu_temp
gpu_load_change

But only gpu_name works, other stuff is not present.

But only gpu_name works, other stuff is not present.

According to the documentation on the Github page several of those are already displayed by default. I don't really use Mangohud a lot and when I do I don't configure it, but I just copied your config into mine and ran glxgears as a test. Then I see this.

And in game I see this.

Did you setup your configuration file in the correct location?

Yeah you have the same problem, no GPU temp and no GPU load is shown.

AFAIK gpu and cpu load is shown in percentage and the gpu temp is to the right of the percentage in the gpu load. You can also give a launch option for your config which would look like this.

MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=gpu_name,gpu_stats,gpu_load_change,gpu_temp,cpu_temp

GPU 89%  61C
CPU 31% 56C
Vulkan 100fps 10.0 ms
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090
Frametime

Even in the example image of the Mangohud project page it shows the same.

It's visible from your screenshot that only GPU name is shown and not any other GPU stats.
"VULKAN" entry is not GPU stats.
It's same here.

It's not a big deal, at least I'm not alone.

You can also give a launch option for your config which would look like this.

MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=gpu_name,gpu_stats,gpu_load_change,gpu_temp,cpu_temp

Where exactly do you put this?

OK I figured out, it's in Lutris environment variables in advanced view, sadly no change.

In your launch options of the game.

"VULKAN" entry is not GPU stats.

I just listed what was in the screenshot.

It's visible from your screenshot that only GPU name is shown and not any other GPU stats.

It seems to have happened it the past before.

Could be a library missing or something like that, it's late here so don't have time for that right now. Maybe you should open an issue?

Ah I see now!
I used the code you posted and sadly it's not showing GPU stats in my case.

Yes, thanks, I will investigate!
