    Someone mentioned that old versions of Rivatuner gave incorrect readings on the clock speeds.

    rivatuner's wrong, the card was never at 550/1350 MHz. I can tell you this because my stress test results before and after the GPU fix are the same (some tests didn't last long enough to engage the downclocking, that's why)
