Abstract
Techniques are described in which a processor determines an expected performance level of a graphics processing unit (GPU) based on an amount of commands the GPU is to execute. The processor outputs information indicating the performance level, and the GPU adjusts its clock rate prior to execution of the commands that were used to determine the performance level.
