I'm probably using an earlier version - 1.1.4 - which does not overclock
on the fly. It has two flashers - one with confirmation in case there is
more than one card installed - and one without if you have only one card.
Also comes with ati multi dumper to extract the existing rom as a file. The
procedure I use is to dump the rom to a file - load the rom file into
aticellerator to adjust the clock speeds then save it. Launch one of the
flashers - load the reclocked rom file into the flasher - then flash and
reboot.
Try reclocking the card and then rebooting before launching x plane -
might be advisable to research the overclocking limits and potential of the
9200 too. If you have problems you can always use the latest ati update to
take the card back to it's latest rom revision.
