Radeon 1950xtx clock speed question

I've just bought a sapphire radeon x1950xtx and found out some wierd
clock speeds.

This is the speeds that should be?

But in my catalyst control center I get:

Anyone knows anything about this?

My Sapphire 1950xtx was reporting the exact same clock/mem speeds. A reply from ATI tech support stated that from the x1800 series on up, they included a feature that allows their cards to automatically run at lower frequencies to conserve juice. They ramp up to spec speeds as demand increases.

It makes sens the GPU would scale down if all your doing is going through windows or typing on a word document. Why use all that juice and create all that heat for nothing.

Intel Speed-stepping, AMD Cool n Quiet, bout time NVidia and ATI also started implementing power saving measures.

I posted the ATiTrayTools thread (supposedly not to everyones liking) - and this tool will allow you to trend GPU and memory clock speeds in a graph. The X1950, as the X1900/1800, scales down in 2d mode, and will only increase in 3d apps that require it. I've even seen less demanding games still staying at scaled down clock speeds.
