OP here. I'm still stick under 400w on the 450w bios. Still pcie3 not drawing more than 70w.

More often than not I'm "power limited" at 350-380w I'm told...

I haven't updated to the newer xoc bios with resizable bar update. Have you done that 1?

Thanks guys...found this thread

 
Once you get thru the childish bantering of "Well my card is working as it should"......there is some very good reasoning as to "why"...hhhmmm analog vs digital.

^^^^ No fix....unfortunately your stuck with it unless you're prepared to shunt mod the Card .....on a positive note you will see absolutely no difference gaming whether you're 380w...400w...or more...about the only thjing that I found frustrating was benchmarking and under water, being capped by power!
I have since replaced the 3080 with a 3080Ti FTW3 and although it already comes w 450w BIOS, rarely hits more than 420w in any benchmarks....Kumbuster w Vulcan and Full Screen 3440*1440p I was able to get the Card to 444w ;)

rjbarker
No problem at all......having owned both Cards (both under water), gaming, benching etc...I wouldn't recommend a Ti variant over the regular Card if gaming anything less than 4K....but that pretty well known and certainly wouldn't even consider a 3090 Card unless for Professional tasks that require a ton of VRAM.
 
Definitely I can get some climbing Bench Scores in both TS and PR if I can keep my GPU Temp 39c - 40c......my best scores come first thing in the AM. My ambient temp in my Office is currently around 20c, once we get into the dead of winter I can get ambient down to 14c no problem, perhaps thats when I'll be able to crack those Port Royal 15K and TS 20K numbers ;)
 
The benchmarks and gaming numbers that a 3080Ti pretty much take the brief glory out of the 3090, not too mention the added heat for all that VRAM on the other side of the PCB makes me steer clear of that Card completely (although I have never bought into the Titan / KP hype to begin with).
 
As for my 9900k OC'ing, mine has been a champ since purchasing back in Dec 2018 and have not seen anything that has pushed me to replace it (yet).
To have a chip capable of running 8c/16t at 5.2 Ghz (all cores) and Uncore running at 4.9 Ghz, I still find very impressive and these 3080 GPU's absolutely love the high clock speeds.
 
If I try to go for 5.3 Ghz the required vcore to get thru benchruns gets pretty high, as in 1.45v - 1.47v.....
 
Enjoy your Card !!!

Well that's thorough, good job.  Can you test the power limit and other card control of X1, see if it can reduce power limit, increase and decrease core clock under load, memory clock and voltage?  Obviously you're selecting the increased power with the slider and then hitting the apply button?
 
You could also try Afterburner 4.6.4 Beta 3.
 
That is a wonky power draw for sure, like my 3080 Ti FTW3 had.

Hey, thanks for the awesome reply. Those scores really help! 

I can't post links but I'll leave the end digits to the links for my two TimeSpy scores:
3080 LHR +110/+1100 and 64Gb of RAM at 3866 16-16-16-36 @ 1.4V:
9900K @ 1.275v 5Ghz all core: TimeSpy - 23335559 (17.9k)
9900K @ 1.320v 5.1Ghz all core: TimeSpy - 23355830 (18k)
 
The latter OC I only just managed today as OCing is new to me and only recently could I splurge for a custom loop. I don't think I can push it further as I hit over 85C in OCCT which I'd rather not do too often. 

Comparing my runs to yours I can see that you stay on the boost for longer probably thanks to lower temps (I'll lose 500-800 points just by going up a few degrees I've noticed) but it nets a 0.4-0.9% performance increase. The 3080 Ti however nets you 10-11% increase in performance. Cost where I am however is 25% more ($1490 USD vs $2020 USD via the only retailer that isn't gouging) so I think I'll sit tight.

This has been extremely helpful! Thank you!!

Anyone aware of any recent developments on this issue? I'm experiencing the same thing on my 3080 ti FTW3 Ultra.  Third 8-pin has crappy power draw.  PerfCap Reason almost always Pwr.  Not even getting close to 450W.
 
Never got above 410.414 watts.

I'm running a modest overclock of 105 Mhz on the core and 1000 Mhz on the memory. My voltage and power sliders are maxed (+100 and 113%). My GPU temp target is also maxed (91). My PSU is a Corsair RM1000 (80 Plus Gold).

I haven't opened a ticket with EVGA yet, as I've read that most haven't had much luck in resolution. I'm also nervous about sending the card back (If they even give me that option) given the current shortages. I'm certainly happy to contact support, but wanted to gauge the community first.

I wouldn't call myself an extreme overclocker, and I'm happy with the card, but I do want to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. If anyone has any insight, it would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks a ton in advance, all.

@ p4rk3r
 
could you please try using  OCCT Stresstest with your card and use GPU-Z with 0.1sec intervall reporting. 
if found out the card is actually doing 450 watt but trottles heavy so that u wont see the 450 watt peaks with 1 sec reporting. 

My card ( 3080ti ftw3 ) reports 444 Watt average while having 390 watt low and 469 watt high reportings in a 25 sek intervall with 250 samples at 0.1sec.

I did havae a none TI as well and could easily run 450 with it. 
 
regards.

Try flashing the bios again and run the latest X1.

Just did a fresh install of Windows, re-flashed the BIOS using the XOC tool on this forum, and installed the latest X1. No dice. Still won't draw more than 390W (max draws: Pin#1 125W, Pin#2 154W, Pin#3 69W) in Furmark and even less in TimeSpy (360W). 

What did get fixed though is it now defaults the LED's to Rainbow at least which is what I wanted.

You forgot to check the pcie draw. That's 75w minimum. Mine draws closer to 85 on timespy runs. That would put you at about 435w and with the "missing" 20-30w that go unreported for some reason, you would be pulling over 450w

Lol, what?  Most 3080's, 3080 Ti's and 3090 pull around 40w-50w from the pcie slot on the stock bios.

Just look at board draw next time instead of adding up the pin draws. That'll give you a complete picture once you add about 25w from the underreporting bug.

They def pull more than 50w

You're going to need to do better than that.
