Look here, this is what you can do with the MX95 SM:

"

...
083: gpuapb               =  on,  133333333Hz
084: gpu                  =  on,  800000000Hz
...
174: gpu_cgc              =  on,  800000000Hz

083: gpuapb               = off,  133333333Hz
084: gpu                  = off,  800000000Hz
...
174: gpu_cgc              = off,  800000000Hz
"

Notice how all clock are disabled, including GPU clock.

That does not agree with your statement.

It also enables all disabled parent clock in the process, which includes 
the GPU clock.

See above.
