Reclocking tests of the Nouveau driver using the nouveau/linux-2.6 GIt tree as of 28 January. Using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 since at the moment it seems to be the only working graphics card in the Phoronix collection. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel. [ 14.875020] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: 3 available performance level(s)
[ 14.875022] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: 0: core 135MHz shader 270MHz memory 135MHz voltage 850mV
[ 14.875024] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: 1: core 405MHz shader 810MHz memory 324MHz voltage 850mV
[ 14.875027] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: 3: core 625MHz shader 1360MHz memory 400MHz voltage 1100mV. This has GPU thermal results to accompany the other initial reclocking tests.
