April 27, 2011(!!!) - Beta Patch #2 - It's old thread

[QUOTE=Blackdog_kt;277044]What i did was open my catalyst panel and go to the tab where it shows the clocks. Then, once i'm in the game i alt-tab out and check it. I have tried the same with Ati tray tools and the findings are similar.
Pre-patch: GPU clock stuck at 240Mhz.
With the latest beta patch installed: GPU clock increased to 500Mhz.

It's a bit weird, since the GPU's factory settings (MSI Cyclone Ati 4890 1GB) specify 850Mhz.

Could it be that it starts scaling back down once i alt-tab out of it to check it, in which case i'd need another 3rd party tool that can be run as an overlay on top of the sim to really see what's going on?

That is exactly what is happening. clock speeds drop as soon as the action stops. I check clock speeds with a second monitor on with the ATI control center open on it. I'm sure your operating at 850Mhz until you stop playing to check clock speeds.
