I tried modding/flashing my 5850 BIOS with RBE and ATIFLASH, but was unsuccessful. All operations seemed to work, but I get the BSOD after about 4 seconds at the Vista splash screen. Even if my original BIOS was unmodded while in RBE, that is, loaded and saved without changing anything, my RBE BIOS causes BSOD. HAs anyone successfully modded/flashed a BIOS that was processed with RBE?

I modded the bios for my 5870 with RBE, the clocks worked fine but the fan override and voltage adjustment didn't work.
On techpowerup it states that a few functions are still non functional for use with the 5850/5870.

Maybe it's a prob only with the 5850. Also, I can use the modded BIOS but only with no ATI drivers loaded. In other words, if I uninstall my drivers so that I boot up with "standard VGA device" shown in device manager, I don't get a BSOD death with my modded BIOS. So something weird is happening with the combo of modded BIOS plus ATI drivers.
I'm using the ASUS unlocked BIOS now, but my card is still throttling down to 550 Mhz so the unlocked feature isn't helping me.

Anyone here who has got an open box from newegg already?
Are they as good as originals are?

23k is quite a bit slower than 27k in Vantage, not sure what you're getting at mentioning your 295 scores in an ATI 5800 series thread.
