That is when it is running in 2d mode -- the 5xxx series cards downclock themselves to conserve power and lower heat when the card is not in heavy use - when you stress the card the clock speeds will increase but CPU-z shows the current state of the card which is the clock speeds it is showing right now while the system is not using the card heavily.
