OK it's late (over here) and I've been playing far too much New Vegas today, so I suspect I'm being daft, but is it me or has my new HD6950 adopted the GPU clock of my previous HD4850?

Obvious answer is just to set the clock to 800mhz, but I was wondering if it's just a coincidence and there is something going on here I didn't know about.

I admit I was in the middle of pulling out the old card when I remembered I should have uninstalled the drivers first, so I just stuck the new card in then uninstalled everything ATI before installing the 10.12's.

Hmmmm? Don't overclock using CCC? Are the numbers checking with GPU-Z? Download MSi afterburner?

GPU-Z says GPU Clock 625mhz, Default clock 800mhz

I'm not overclocking btw, supposed to be stock.

As evidenced by your own screenshot, you are indeed underclocking your card. Uncheck the box that says enable overdrive then your card will run stock.

Yeah knew I was being daft, hit "defaults" and it set the expected values and I then unchecked Overdrive. I think I was a bit paranoid that the driver didn't know what the defaults were...

Incidentally the "current values" were wrong also. So the only setting that was correct was the memory, the only setting I had actually adjusted for the old card!
