Those of you who have nvidia GPUs and are running the "nvidia" driver (the closed source one), you can check the powermizer status of your card by running the nvidia-settings tool. My machine starts up at level 1, but if I run a 3D application it switches to 2 and then never downclocks. If the GPU is at level 1, the machine stays reasonably cool (CPU temps ~50C after hours of use, GPU at 68). For those of you running compiz, your video card probably runs at the highest speed at all times.
