Below is the output file from a sample WU from one of my hosts ....

Question 1) Are the descriptions of my two GPUs (in bold) provided by the MilkyWay app, or does this information come from the BOINC client.?

Reason for asking is that the information is wrong. Both GPUs are described identically including core clock timings, yet one GPU runs at the stated 900MHz, but the other one runs at 950MHz (confirmed by both GPU-Z and Catalyst Control Center).

Question 2) Because they are described identically (even when they are not), can I tell which is which? Is device0=GPU1 in CCC and device1=GPU2 in CCC ??? Or might they be reported differently at different times?
