3dmark reads incorrect GPU clock

[a_ump]

its strange, i ran 3dmark06 3 different times to see the improvements of my overclock in my 7800GTX. but when i look at the results on orb, it states my GPU core frequency is 40mhz higher than what i set in rivatuner and GPU-Z reports.

so when i set my core speed to 430 for reference, ORB reported it at 468mhz
430, orb 468
460, orb 501
506, orb 546.

It also always said my memory speed was at 120X, even though i had it set to 460/1300 for BFG's oc, and then 506/1368 for my max oc. yet it always reproted memory at 1200mhz.
that'd be sweet if i could oc my 7800GTX to 546 lol
has anyone else noticed this?

I get incorrect readings in 06 as well. It also reports my cpu speed as 4640 MHz. I wish

Yeah its not really reliable... E6300 oc'ed to 3.5GHz and it still read it as 1.86.

and people think it's a reliable benchmark, LOL.
