Asus 1900 xt-x core clock speed wrong?

[Fenlock]

Hi, quick question

just installed my new Asus Radeon EAX-1900 XT-X. I havent tried to play a game yet, but instantly i have noticed that the core clock only seems to be running at 500mhtz, when the advertised speed of the card is 650?

Im running the latest cat drivers, not the included asus driver's or software.

It's a flat install of XP.

Does the Core speed of the card change when you play games? I've upgraded from an old AGP X800. Is this normal?

Cheers
Fen

Thought that might be the case. Any utils i can use to test that with? a demo that reports clock speed etc?

Oh ok, if i remove the CCP - means i wont be able to get to advanced driver settings doesnt it? Is the ATI tray tool a sepate download, or control panel like the one the driver's used before the Cat Control Center was mandatory?
