hd 4850, clock question.

[mrplow99]

Hey basically iv got a new pc and it has a hd 4850, just wondering should the core clock be at 500mhz when its idle? it seems too go up too 650mhz sometimes in game, could this just be a energy saving function? my mobo is a ga-p45-ds3 if this helps.

Thanks in advanced

yea its to save energy, when you start playing or any heavy graphic application it goes back to default clocks.

2D mode it downclocks to save energy, goes to 625 or 650 if its an oceed card in 3D
