Hey.
I don't know if this lives more comfortably here or in the graphics card section but I have a puzzler on the reported clock speeds on my R9 290 in 3Dmark.
Here is my benchmark run and you can see that the reported core clocks on the cards were the stock speed of 957mhz ... according to the 3D mark reporting.
On the desktop side however I am pretty sure that MSI Afterburner was reporting that my core clocks were higher, and I was trying to stretch the cards. I am pretty sure that they were running faster than stock because if I pushed them harder I started to get artifacting and crashes, and the bench score itself suggests that I am going faster.
Puzzling thing is why 3Dmark is reporting that stock speed.
Anyone got any experience or advice here?
