GPU clock speed display?

Anyone know of a way to display GPU (ATI in this case) clockspeed in real time? I'm running the new Folding @ Home GPU client, but I want to verify that the video card is running at full (3D) speed rather than reduced 2D/desktop speed.

Thanks in advance...

IIRC Rivatuner only works with Nvidia. Use ATI Tray Tools as Kiwi mentioned above: Link

Nah, RivaTuner has worked fine with ATI cards for years, at least for overclocking and low-level tweaks. I used it to softmod a couple of Radeon 9500s to 9700s . Looks like Traytools has better hooks into the driver settings though, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info.

Looks like it shows momentary clockspeed in the hardware information center, but I don't even show an overdrive panel. Maybe it's incompatible with Windows 2000 or the AGP X1950?

I believe it displays "requested" clock speeds. I dont think its real time, although admittedly, it's been a loooooooooong time since I used CCC.

I have an "ATI Overdrive" panel that displays the 'requested' and 'current' GPU clocks. The 'current' values change to match the 'requested' ones when I start a 3D app, so I would assume it's somewhat close to real-time. However, what you get may depend on what card you have installed.

I installed CCC when I built my new computer, since ATT was still having issues with the X1800s at that point... I could change driver settings, but none of the overclocking stuff worked. I could probably switch over now.
