Abstract

The present invention sets forth a method and a system for powering a graphics processing unit (GPU) with a power supply subsystem. In one embodiment, the method includes generating an offset in response to an operating voltage need of the GPU; and applying the offset to information associated with a first operating voltage of the GPU; wherein the offset causes the first operating voltage to change to a second operating voltage of the GPU.
