Describe the bug

As the title says, there are periodic stutters with Mangohud on this title that even exposes itself in main menu or game settings menu.

List relevant hardware/software information

  • Arch Linux
  • Commit ff6e595 , i use this to fix some unrelated regression that occurred due this https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/commit/e96a0bf5afbc8f01b648a739bfd34379979c23cc
  • GPU: AMD RX 7900 XTX

My config:

horizontal
legacy_layout=0
table_columns=20
cpu_stats
gpu_stats
vram
ram
fps
frametime=0
frame_timing=1
hud_no_margin
gpu_power
cpu_mhz
engine_version
device_battery=gamepad
cpu_temp
gpu_temp
gpu_junction_temp
gpu_mem_temp
gpu_core_clock
gpu_mem_clock
resolution
time
vulkan_driver
toggle_hud=Shift_L+F12
gpu_list=0

Nuking ALL of the gpu stats related entries fixes it.

I tried with different variants to narrow it down but not a single culprit was there, any of them being in brings stutters back.

A bit more clarity for the issue:

Issue doesn't occur if NTSYNC is off.

NTSYNC on, GPU stats on= Periodic stutters

NTSYNC on, GPU stats off but mangohud is up still= No stutter

NTSYNC off, GPU stats on= No stutter
