    Hi everyone, it seems i may have an issue, not sure. im posting my GPU-Z screenshot and it shows 300 core and 400 memory... any thoughts on why? under the first tab it shows 700 core and 1000 memory (no shader? im not familiar with this stuff..) but the second tab (screened two separate times) one shows 300 core 400 memory and the other shows 100 core 150 memory.. is there something wrong?

    If memory serves me correct, the 2nd page is recording your clock usage at that time. I am presuming you are running nothing else graphically intensive when you opened gpu-z?

    yes. i had nothing running however, i ran 3dmark06, and when it was done, i opened up gpuz. Either the clocks change almost immediately to where i never see the drop or, it never clocks to max. is there a program that will stay open and on top, even with a program like 3dmark06? id like to see clocks after 30min of benchmarking, maybe then it will increase clocks? i mean it shows they go 700 core and 1000 memory, so 100 - 150 and 300 - 400 is lowwww.

    I think you can create a log and have GPU-Z log that stuff as 3DMark06 runs.
