3DMark05 - Post Different Card Speed Than Run Speed

This is probably already well known but I couldn't find it anywhere.

When I run 3DMark05 and quit before the CPU test starts I can change my clock speeds in Riva, then submit my scores to FutureMark, and whatever my clock speeds are at the time of submission is what is saved to the site.

Thus, I can run 3DMark05 at 482/1300, get a good score, then change my OC timings to 350/1000 and have 3DMark display the 350/1000 timings with the 482/1300 benchmark score.

Just thought it was weird.

Really? So you change clocks before you save the project and it works? I always thought '03 & '05 were protected against changing clocks. I'm pretty sure you can't do it with CPU clocks, maybe graphics are different.

I'm not sure about the CPU clocks but works for the GPU.

makes alot of sence there are a some odd scores out there if you look at the
core clocks
