I have an 8500gt made by PNY. Stock clocks are

GPU 460
MEM 400
Shaders 918

I have modded the bios to run

GPU 680
MEM 520
Shaders 1360

But, after running atitool, I get this weird problem. See the screenshot, and look at the clocks. I have scanned for artifacts for around 10 minutes. Nothing has popped up.

Is this just a fluke, or have I gotten lucky with my bios settings?

Yeah, I noticed it was a fluke. I ran everest ultimate, and it still showed that my original clock was still set. But why would Nvidia control panel, and atitool, and Gpu-z all show the same thing?

Man I wish it wasn't wrong, that would have been awesome to have an 8500 run like that.

Tell me about it. It would have been nice. But does anyone know why those 3 programs were telling me that is what the clocks were, when they really weren't?
