Thanks inap. I wish there was a way to recover a bad flash but it seems to not post at all, even if I were to program something to boot off of USB and autorun the flash command.

Yep, same thing when trying to save in RBE. I get an error, something to do with the subvendor id and it won't save. This is probably why the last flash borked.

Ahhhh, I was using the wrong RBE version. No wonder. Yeah, I already got a replacement video card. Trying to flash my stable over clocks so I don't have to keep using atitool but almost afraid to now after the first disaster

@Inap, now that's the boiled down, condensed version of the process. LOL.

It sure is. Still have the original problem though.
My 5850 stops at 300/400. powerplay enabled, tried it disabled and it does nothing. Basically, I have yet to see this thing go to 625/1000 under load. I used ATITool to artifact scan and GPUZ tells me the gpu load is 85%+.
Clocks still 300/400, I verified what GPUZ is telling me to what DXDIAG says and they both show correctly so I am left wondering if it is a problem with the 11.2 software. About to revert back to the Dell drivers tonight but kind of at a loss here....

The stock 5850M caps out at 300/400 under 2 conditions -- 1) Stealth mode is enabled or 2) PowerPlay is disabled. It has nothing to do with the Cat 11.2 drivers.
