I just used RBE 1.15 to mod the bios on my asus 4850, and I've tried both 8.9 and the 8.10 betas. I'm using the signature file that ups the overdrive limits and I'm running the max 1.158V. Couple issues though.
When I look at the reported gpu voltage (HWmonitor), it never goes above 1.12V. In power save mode it's at 1.05, and then during a game or something it goes up to 1.12 and that's it. That was the same voltage it went to before I flashed the bios. When I acquire the bios from my card now, it has what I put in, 1.158V for everything except the power save states. Is this because of some kind of vdroop in the card? I think the voltage has been upped though, because my vid card is stable at much higher clocks.
My other issue is that I keep getting the video driver resets. I'll be playing certain games (PURE, occasionally GRID) and the game will pause for a second while the video driver fixes itself in windows (Vista 64). I tried switching from the 8.9 Cat's to the new 8.10 betas and it helped some but it still happens. I had been running at 725/1100, but still had problems at 700/1100. I have good cooling, accelero s1 with 2x120mm fans. I was wondering if my instability is from the card not getting a high enough vcore, or if it may be driver issues. I'm running a modest power supply, ocz 500w, and I overclocked my q6600 as well. I'll see if I can add my specs to my sig.
