Question Regarding 9800GT Running WAY Below Clock Speeds!

[godbrother]

Hi, I just bought a 9800GT Eco (it is factory underclocked to 550/1350/900)

Now knowing that it is the Eco version, I still wanted to see the speed it ran at. So I checked CPU-z and the results are shown below:

Why is it running at 300/600/100?

Downclocks to save energy?

Test it again when it's at load.

Yes for example,Open GPU-Z and run a game and play for 10-15 mins then without closing the game,press ALT+Enter and check GPU-Z and see whether they have been changed or not ?

Based on the 100MHz memory clock speed, I'd second the power-saving features. My GTX275 clocks the memory down to 100MHz as well from 1134MHz.

Yes It does so to save energy.
That happens to my card also.

Don't worry it'll get back to normal when required.

ECO because it doesn't needs 6-pin connector.
