For ATI cards you need to install the SDK. From there, it's a command line argument where you can specifically set the clock speed using ati-config. The command line looks like: aticonfig --adapter=A_NUMBER --odsc=<core_clock>,<memory_clock> You can also use the catalyst control center on some cards which comes with the Linux proprietary download.
