    GPUZ shows my gpu core clock at 399.9mhz and it doesn't move - this is on my 4670 replacement that I received two days ago.

    Everything is on "high performance".

    What are others getting for this setting? I thought this was supposed to be 675.

    It depends on the load on the GPU. It will spike to 675 when needed, and lower when there is no load.

    I was running Dragon Age Origins for about 15 minutes and it never budged from 399... the fan on the PC kicked on pretty high as well.

    Under ATI Power Play, make sure that it is set to performance when on AC power.

    Let us know the results from that.

    I just got the same symptoms. I think it had something to do with updating the A08 bios, or the new ATI notebook drivers. I'm going to do further testing later today.

    LOL. I had turned that off because it was causing my CPU to throttle when playing games. I am running it now and it appears to be working better. Then again, I did upgrade to A14 this morning.

    Hmm, as of now my clocks appear to be suck at 450/600 on my SXPS1640 (at least according to GPU-Z). No idea how long this has been the case, and it remains whether powerplay is enabled or disabled.

    Any fix?

    Nevermind, I rebooted and it's back to normal now. Odd.
