On the 'speedometer' it does say 450 but down in the OC dial it says 1050.

The gpu may be underclocking itself in 2D applications to save power. Monitor the gpu in 3D applications to check its actual speed.

probably because your gpu doesn't idle at max clock?

You are not even showing what afterburner says your current clock speed is. If you did, it would probably show 450 Mhz as well. Your GPU wont go to full clock speeds unless there is a reason to, and idling at the desktop is not a reason.

Here is thing, it shows 450MHz but games will run normal overclock. I'm freaking out because it never had went down to 300/450MHz

Modern GPUs downclock automatically when under very little to no load situation (like sitting idle on the desktop or browsing the web). This is normal. Don't panic. ;)

What version are you using? I had this same wrong info reported using the first 2 versions of crimson on my 290X' all the time.

No need to freak out about it. It's normal. If it stayed maxed out at 1050, or whatever your max core clock is, when you weren't using the GPU, then thats when you should freak out lol. They build in this downclocking feature so your GPU will stay cool when you arent using it.
