1. An information handling system, comprising:

  • a host processing system including;

    a main processor that instantiates a management controller agent;

    a first graphics processing unit (GPU);

    a second GPU; and

    a GPU throttle module; and

    a baseboard management controller that;

    accesses the management controller agent via a first interface to obtain a first performance status from the first GPU and a second performance status from the second GPU, wherein the first interface is a keyboard controller style interface;

    compares the first performance status with the second performance status;

    determines whether or not to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU based upon the comparison; and

    directs, via a second interface of the information handling system, the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU when it is determined to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU, wherein the second interface operates out-of-band from the host processing system.
