Is there supposed to be 3 different clocks showing on gpu-z for my card? At idle it shows the default 2d clocks which is 157/300, then when I start playing games, it raises to 400 and 900, and in some situations it raises to the max 3d clock which is 700 and 1150. Is this how 2d and 3d clocks work now? I upgraded from older drivers and I'm used to only one 2d clock and one 3d clock.

That's how it goes from idle to full load.It should always run at 725/1000 in gaming though(not 400/900)

If your card is getting too hot it will downclock to 400/900. And stay in 3D mode.
This allows it to cool itself and not crash to desktop or freeze the system.
As stated above it should normally run 725/1000 when gaming.
