Is power management working on GTX 470s/560 ti cards in Lion?

Hi, does anybody know wether power management in GTX 470/ 560 ti cards is working?. I mean, I don't want to have the card running at 3D clocks (almost 400 Watts for a full system) while I'm using 2D applications.

 

On the other hand, what about ATI's (specifically the 6870). Is power management working for them?.

 

Thanks in advance.

In the AGPM / Fermi freeze fix thread there is a way to figure out what state your card is at.

 

I just run OpenGl viewer.

 

When test starts you should see scores jump from hundreds into thousands when card "kicks in"

 

If it always starts in the 1000s then throttling may not be working.
