Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a graphics processor coupled to a host having a clock frequency; a memory coupled to the graphics processor; and a detection device to determine whether a frame rate is less than a target frame rate set by a user and if so determine whether the graphics processor is I/O limited and if the graphics processor is not I/O limited to determine if the graphics processor is causing the low frame rate, and if the graphics processor is causing the low frame rate, to raise the graphics processor clock frequency and if the graphics processor is not causing the low frame rate, to raise the host clock frequency, wherein the graphics processor is I/O limited because there is a limit on the transfer rate between the memory and the graphics processor such that raising the clock frequency of the graphics processor or the host system will likely not increase the delivered frame rate.
