    The flash is Safe and is from Dell. If you really wanna make sure to see if you need to flash match your VBIOS version to mines.

    VBIOS Update
    That is the fixed GPU VBIOS. If you plan on playing BF3 or any newer games it is a good idea to update your drivers + the Dell drivers are really old and don't give the best performance.

    Also here is another thread where I went over the flashing and everything.

    Can someone explain what are those CAP profiles ? I'm guessing they enhance crossfire performance depending on the game you play ? The version of the CAP must match with the driver ... but what is CAP 2 or CAP 3 ? What are the differences ? If i install CAP 3 it will include also CAP 1 and CAP 2 ?

    CAP Profiles or Catalyst Application Profiles are game profiles that implement or improve crossfire support/performance for games that support crossfire.

    The version of the cap does not need to match the driver version. I am running 11.10 beta and running 11.9 CAP 3.

    CAP 1, 2, or 3 are just revisions adding new games or improving on existing games crossfire profiles.

    If you install any CAP it will also have all previous CAPS included. It is always good to update CAPS and DRIVERS if you need them. For example, BF3 will run poorly or mediocre until you update to 11.9 CAP3/11.10 CAP 1 and probably the 11.10 drivers.
