Modern CPU and GPU architectures support numerous features to temporarily boost performance or reduce power consumption. Some of these capabilities are advertised, others are not. AMD's RDNA2 GPUs appear to support the so-called Duty Cycle Scaling (DCS) , according to a Linux patch discovered by Phoronix. DCS can momentarily turn off graphics core when it is under a high load and then turn it back on in a bid to reduce power consumption and meet strict TDP requirements.

To work properly, DCS has to be supported by the GPU, its firmware, driver, and operating system. At present it is unknown whether it is something that actually works and is enabled for at least some graphics subsystems.
