(In reply to comment #5)
Probably bad advice, but what if user executes rovclock [1] on top of KMS ?
This seems to work, but I don't know if there is any (possibility for) harm. Your wording seems to suggest there is?
Also, I am not sure if just down-clocking the core and memory is the same as the driver-provided power saving features?
And finally, I don't really know what settings are 'safe' and/or used by the driver? Some quick tries showed that is really easy to lock-up the computer with this :O The lowest setting that I've tried that worked for me is 150/150 core/mem (but I did not really try anymore after it locked up)
