Abstract:
1. A method for increasing an operating rate of a graphics card comprising: raising a rotation rate of a radiator fan of a graphics processing unit chip of the graphics card to a first rotation rate according to a rate increasing command; raising a voltage inputted to the graphics processing unit chip to a first voltage, and raising a voltage inputted to a memory of the graphics card to a second voltage when the rotation rate of the radiator fan is approximately equal to the first rotation rate; raising a timing of the graphics processing unit chip to a first timing, and raising a timing of the memory to a second timing when the voltage inputted to the graphics processing unit chip is approximately equal to the first voltage, the voltage inputted to the memory being approximately equal to the second voltage; and decreasing the timing of the graphics processing unit chip to a first reduced timing, and decreasing the timing of the memory to a second reduced timing when the rotation rate of the radiator fan is greatly lower than the first rotation rate.
