| It's a decent app, but it's worth calling out that caveats. As Dave said earlier, all things being equal, (clockspeed wise) the powerplay features don't impact performance. I've personally proven this through exhaustive benchmarking. (I'm very anal about performance) I don't think Afterburner is a ... |

| Well you can rely on it to some degree, cos for instance, halving the resolution may have more of an effect when you have limited memory available, where certain quality settings may not be attainable at all due to the lack of processing power. There does not appear to be a be a good review on the c... |

I can report that after installing MSI Afterburner and changing the config file top enable unsupported overclocking, it has effectively disabled PowerPlay while afterburner is running.
Afterburner is a great piece of software and I highly recommend it. |

| PowerPlay is entiely GPU activity based, so it only drops down to lower speeds if there isn't sufficient activity to require full clocks on the the GPU. A lowered GPU clock and a lowered frame rate tells me that the CPU isn't supplying enough data to the GPU, so it is clocking down because it is wa... |

I used GPU-Z to log the core frequency while playing a game and it tells me it drops down to 400Mhz/600Mhz from 865Mhz at random times, effecting the frame rat... |

Great resolution. :D We got to expect some teething problems with a new product I guess. One of the toughest parts of marketing is knowing how the customer thinks.
Cheers Dave! |

| Making it clear on that page which one that works or at least write a footnote on the passive ones that "for configuration of 3 displays or more, an active adapter or analog adapter is required", would make users less confused. That would be awesome. ATI are fooling themselves if they are thinking ... |
