π i915_gpu_turbo_disable β bestie's guide to turning off the turbo β¨
Okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel developer vibes only, iykyk), and we're about to learn how to make your graphics card chill. Literally. Sit down, grab a strawberry π, let's go.
πΈ NAME πΈ
i915_gpu_turbo_disable β no cap, it disables graphics turbo π«π₯
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
bool i915_gpu_turbo_disable (void );
She returns a bool, bestie. Yes. That's the whole vibe. π
π ARGUMENTS π
voidβ no arguments. Not one. Zero. Empty. She takes nothing and she slays anyway π β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so what does she actually do? The way that this function disables graphics turbo by:
- Resetting the max frequency π
- Setting the current frequency to the default π―
That's it. That's the whole thing. Turbo? Gone. Cancelled. Not invited to the function. π
Think of it like when the group chat is getting too loud and you just quietly mute it. The frequencies are being put back where they belong, periodt.
