The GPU dynamically changes the memory and gfx engine clocks at runtime based
on GPU load.  Unfortunately if changed the memory clock dynamically you'd see
flickering almost every frame if the GPU load changed.

You can manually force the clocks low or high via sysfs (as root):

force clocks low:
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
force clocks high:
echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
dynamic:
echo auto > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
