How can I tell if my clocks are going up?

Okay, this is probably a really stupid question but how can I check that my 5970 card is upping the clock when I run 3d apps? In CCC I do have ATI overdrive enabled and its showing the Sapphire OC 5970 high performance settings of 735/1010 and while at desktop Current values of 400/900. I tried running Unigine 2.0 windowed with CCC open and it never showed my gpu speeds changing from 400/900. How can I make sure my card is doing what its supposed to do or do I have something set wrong?

GPU-Z is excellent at that with its history graph.

I believe the ATI CCC shows the current state of your gpu clocks.. If I remmeber correctly when I owned a ati gpu.

Yeah, it does show the current values in the ATI Overdrive section.

Try running benchmarks in fullscreen mode when possible.
