Well after some more extensive testing, it appears that the 12.4 beta drivers seem to have issues with powerplay overall, even when not doing 'unofficial' overclocking (oc'ing above CCC limits) the card may bounce between 3D/2D clocks when it should stay in 2D and it may stay in 3D mode for extended periods of time. This is more an inconvenience than anything, but I figure I should report my findings here.
Edit: It appears that even though I had Sapphire Trixx set to not apply clock settings anymore, just having it running seemed to be causing my powerplay issues. It must be related to the fact that those 2 .dlls are no longer included in the 12.4 library and they must be what the overclocking software is using to interface with the card and with the changes in powerplay it must be causing a conflict.
Edit #2: Well after some more testing, it appears that once you enter a 3D application and leave, powerplay will kind of work, sometimes it's a little slow in downclocking, although mine doesn't appear to lower voltage if you're using 'unofficial overclocking'.
