Abstract
Techniques are described in which a processor determines how busy a graphics processing unit (GPU) was in rendering a current fame based on a time interval between when the GPU completed the rendering of the current frame and when the GPU completed the rendering of a previous frame that immediately precedes the current frame. The processor sets a clock rate of the GPU based on the determination of how busy the GPU was in rendering the current frame.
