HTPC GPU showing 0% in mangohud

I have a Minisforum HX99G with dedicated GPU running the deck/htpc image. It is not reporting proper GPU stats in Mangohud. I see 0% GPU usage, and never goes above 15-17w. but performance is pretty obviously higher than that.
I assume I have to tweak the mangohud configs to look at the correct gpu as it does appear to have an iGPU as well as the dedicated 6650m.

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent reports usage however card1 shows 0%. I assume that the performance overlay is looking at the wrong GPU. reading up on mangohud to see if I can find where to re-configre that but if anyone can point me in the right direction figured id update.

Try goverlay, we ship it and it can tweak mangohud with a nice gui There's also the mangopeel decky plugin

goverlay seems to show correct info but I dont see any configuration, Tried mango peel but i havent found any way to tell what GPU it is looking at.

I'm having this same issue! I figured it was mangohud regression, but then realized I too have two GPUs, and am using GPU 1 (instead of 0). I'll try these approaches and report back. it's odd cause it started happening like a month ago -- worked previously. I figured it out @choroot! thanks to the kind folks at mangohud's discord... I couldn't get any config changes to work -- they have a flag called pci_dev that works for this, but I couldn't get it to work. what did work was manually installing mangohud 0.7.2 and running my game with /home/bazzite/mangohud %command% so for me, I need to be using the latest mangohud for the GPU % to show up.
