ips_gpu_lower(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so welcome to ips_gpu_lower(9), bestie — straight outta the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the name is literally lower GPU power clamp. that's the whole assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ips_gpu_lower (struct ips_driver *ips );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• ips — the IPS driver struct. that's it, that's the argument, no cap. 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

lower GPU frequency/power if possible — like, it's gonna try and be chill about it. it needs to call i915, periodt. no extra lore, that's the function. 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie if you're going down the rabbit hole, the kernel file is ./drivers/platform/x86/intel_ips.c — main character location fr. and here's the whole function squad, every single one:

mwah 💋 this lil page comes from source/version ./drivers/platform/x86, dated October 2026, and it's literally ips_gpu_lower(9). bye bestie, go lower that GPU power clamp if possible 🌸
