| My setup runs 7680x1440 at 120hz/fps on a Radeon 6900XT | |
| I did try KDE/Plasma 6 with wayland and gamescope (a lot) but there is always something going on, like | |
| super smooth on normal testing, then on online situations with random frametime 'ticks' which I could not solve, likely related | |
| to wayland VRR always on. Also, smooth frames for 2 laps then staring to lose sync. | |
| In the end the most simple window manager, one that does not interfere or try to add smart rules is working best, | |
| it is IceWM on X11, so I toook the time to configure icewm and it was worth it. But its a good chunk of work. | |
| --> Before startimg LMU add the custom resolution to: | |
| ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Le Mans Ultimate/UserData/Config_DX11.ini (my full config is bellow) | |
| CustomVidRes=(7680, 1440) # Set your triples resolution. | |
| WindowedMode=1 #set this | |
| Borderless=0 #set this | |
| -> Dont change anything else, save, close. | |
| Framerate I set fix rate directly in LMU: | |
| (generate proper frametime with cvt command, eg. (cvt 7680 1400 120)) | |
| slemke@gamingpc:~> grep "Max Framerate" ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Le\ Mans\ Ultimate/UserData/player/Settings.JSON | |
| "Max Framerate": 119.92, | |
| ### X11(xorg) Settings for my AMD: ### | |
| For my radeon, I created this file: | |
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf with bellow content: | |
| Section "Device" | |
| Identifier "AMDgpu" # or "Radeon" | |
| Driver "amdgpu" # or "radeon" | |
| Option "TearFree" "on" | |
| EndSection | |
| This enables TearFree, needed! | |
| ### End X11(xorg) Settings: ### | |
| gamemoderun (optional) - it is good to block screen saver. | |
| Also install lact to underwolt the 6900XT - ofset -81 is optimal in my card. | |
| setting up icewm takes time, if you get it close to your likings dont forget to save to reuse in future. |

MangoHUD I really only use to monitor, in my case I just fix the rate direct on the config with no vsync on, its quite smooth.
I do not really have a problem with HUD, also dunno how much CEF settings still make a difference since it was replaced on one of the major recent updates. But I wasted a lot of time to find out what works properly, icewm was actually quite a good test and ended up sticking to it dues to it not messing around with the game window, I do set the monitors with a xrand command that runs automtica on icewm start, also, some more icewm config settings/preferences.

Do you also experience the issue with low fps / stuttering when the LMU UI overlay is on full? i get around 40-60fps drop with full overlay regardless of CEF settings.
I dont get the issue when overlay is set to minimal or off
As for max framerate, if i set it to match VideoRefreshRate mangohud avg reports 5 to 20fps lower.
Probably better off using VSyncMode=2
