My best 3080HY was 831mv 1875mhz +1110mem -110w, 98.7% performance 45C GPU - 67 C mem 70C hot spot 
My Current is KPE 925mv 1980mhz +1100mem -77w , 101.6% performance 46-54C GPU 65C mem 70C hot spot

Those are some interesting results. Would you mind posting a timespy run result if you get the chance? How much power draw are you seeing on average with those two undervolts?

I will see what results I may have saved for TS, I mostly used Port Royal as the performance score , ran hot right out of gaming sessions. Time Spy has changed a little for me, I lost my CPU oc. when I changed the Motherboard bios for resizable bar. My CPU score was 11100 with i9 9900k and its now 10990 with the same 5.0 GHz.

Hi,
I'm glad to be here 
 
I have this videocard: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 12G-P5-3955-KR, 12GB GDDR6X, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate. 
It's a 3 air fan video card, it's show up on EVGA site only when you select Europe Location.
 
I updated everything i can using Standalone Precision X1 software.
I also updated my mother board Bios since it have some update related to the RTX 30 series.
I updated NVIDIA drivers.
 
Questions:
1 - There is something else i need to update?
2 - I will have the power cap problem people related in other topics?
3 - To get maximum performance, i NEED to mess with overclock?
 
Thanks!

You don't Need to do anything, cards run just fine at default settings, I prefer to make a more aggressive fan curve to keep temperatures lower.

It's this an XC3 card that you're over 360W on? Or an FTW3?

Ah, this is the XC3 thread. We don't get to see power figures north of 366W.

On a related note, I updated to the new Bios with the fixed power stuff. I rebaselined the system first at a couple different settings and am now testing the updated bios. I threw in a different SSD for this test so I could disable CSM without messing around with my normal OS. This seems to have reduced my scores some amount from where they were before so I'm glad I rebaselined.

Preliminary results on one of the higher OC settings:
Old Bios/New Bios
PR - 13,459 / 13,699
TS(graphics) - 20,102 / 20,419
FS (graphics) - 49,407 / 49,685

10 minutes of Heaven
Average power - 326.9 / 349.9
Peak power - 349.2 / 359.2

Power balance on the plugs isn't much different, both just went up about 10W with the slot up about 5W. Honestly, just looks like they fixed the power slider to me. I wasn't having sub-300W performance though before.

The power update definitely messed with some of the operating points of my OC settings. Makes sense as a few extra watts is likely pushing it to clocks it wasn't really seeing before, or at least holding them there for longer and giving it more chance to go unstable. For a given frequency I'm having to up voltage about 25mV.

Was able to beat my previous best scores, but only by about 0.5%.

Still barely in the top 20% of 3080Ti though.

If it wasn't for the market condition of trying to get a card at all, there is no way I'd buy an XC3 again. That said, Metro Exodus on Ultra with all the RayTraces in 4K is looking pretty awesome and plays rock solid. Even at a 300W undervolt it still turns my game room into a sauna.

03whitegsr, EVGA Precission X1 have this new BIOS? Or you get it here in the forum?

3080TI XC3 HC - Haven't tried to push my overclock too hard yet, waiting on a cpu/motherboard/memory upgrade first but I am stable with a
 
+500 memory
+135 Clock
Stock Voltage for a total boost to 2,055.

Temps peak out around 49C, but my office is located in my basement so ambient temps are relatively low and I'm running a multi radiator custom loop.

You have to unlock voltage control in Afterburner. You can do that by going to settings
 

 
Regarding your GPU's overclock, is it completely stable at stock settings? Try running 1 hour of realbench to see if it detects any instability. Maybe something else entirely is affecting the GPU's stability?

I've done that in Afterburner as well as editing the config file. Maybe I'm confused, does voltage control ONLY give me the voltage % slider? Or am I supposed to get a voltage slider that I can up the actual voltage by mV?
 
Either way, I've unlocked those two options and only see a voltage % slider, which I assume isn't actually controlling the voltage much. 
 
I kept getting clock_watchdog_timeout and WhoCrashed was telling me I'm getting intelppm.sys and ntfs.sys crashed (its about 50/50). I did SFC and CHKDSK. SFC had some errors that were repaired CHKDSK was fine. After that I:
 
Fresh windows install by the way with minimal programs installed
I uninstalled afterburner and went back to precision x1
Updated MOBO bios (rog xiii hero)
Updated a bunch of intel drivers 
 
I ran 1 hour of warzone and it was fine until I tried exiting. It froze and clock_watchdog_time out BSOD is back with ntfs.sys crashing. 
 
I know this is an overclock thread and I'll leave it at this, but if anybody has some ideas that would be great. I'm running out of options to try here...

What PSU are you running?

Stock Voltage, +100 Core +1500 VRAM seems stable at a day now of stress testing and gaming.  Peak core is 2010 but drops down to 1875-1950 due to the power limit.  Peak temp of 84c with auto fans of 81% speed.  340-355 watts.
 
Is there a bios I would benefit from that I could install on the card?  I assume not since I'm not capped at 300watts.
The point of undervolting is to not hit the power limiter, correct?  I can't seem to get stable at a worthwhile clock while undervolting.  Just letting it limit its self seems to be better for me.  I'll keep tinkering with it.
 
Moving the fan wires to the motherboard seems like a neat idea.  May have to explore that.

Trying to get my 3080ti xc3 stable. It will crash at stock clocks even with a more aggressive curve. I've tried a couple undervolts but even at .875 it will crash within 30 minutes. It seems stable if I underclocking. Tonight I played for a couple hours at -300 on both clocks with no issue.

I'm on the wait-list for the hybrid cooler... Hopefully that helps.

Interestingly, I have a Zotac 3070ti that had the same issue. A 5% overvolt seemed to work, but my number came up for the 3080ti before I could really test thoroughly.

Both cards had the same type of crash... Screen freezes with weird color outlines and system restarts.

I was always planning on getting a hybrid cooler, they just went out of stock by the time my number came up.

No reason to be an asshat about it. It could still be something with my system. I'm not paying extra for shipping both ways if I'm not sure that the card has a problem that can't be easily resolved with a little tuning.

Besides, EVGA still honors the warranty even if I put a cooler on it. So if I can tune it out or the extra capacity of the cooler fixes it, or I identify an issue elsewhere in my system, I save whatever I'd pay for shipping.

Quick update.
 
I uninstalled and reinstalled Precision X1.  Also noticed a new Graphics bios update so installed that along with a vbios update.  Ensured Precision X1 had default settings also.  My card is now drawing over 300 watts, pretty close to 350.  Also did about an hour of benchmarking including three back to back FFXIV benchmarks which would usually cause a crash on the first run.  So far no issues.  I'll report back after having a good long gaming session.
 
 

Its been several days and I've had a few good gaming sessions to test things out.  Long story short, I believe I have my issue sorted out, and now I can start working on an undervolt.
 
So at the beginning I installed the firmware update as recommended by Precision X1.  But it still showed an update recommended for VBIOS, and I figured I already did that so I ignored it.  That was my mistake.  After uninstalling and re-installing Precision X1 to ensure I had defaults and nothing left over, I did do the VBIOS update.
 
After doing that, I went through several benchmarks just fine.
 
Next, I did some gaming sessions.  I did experience one crash of the same variety as before after about 30 minutes.  But my GPU temps were hovering around 80C, so I made one change: I changed my fan curve to "Aggressive".  After making that change and leaving everything else at default, it hasn't crashed since after probably at least 5 hours of gaming.
 
So lessons learned:
 
Trust Precision X1 and keep doing the firmware updates updates until it is happy.
Try using the "aggressive" fan curve.
 
Now that I am satisfied that the card works fine at stock settings (with the minor difference of using a higher fan curve), I can start playing around with undervolts.
 
And hopefully the Hybrid coolers come back in stock soon... 400-HY-1978-B1 8/12/2021 6:15:08 AM PT NO

I met your setting Fkurbanov11.
 
Worked like a champ, but i am stuck under 20k at 19962.

I tried to up  900mV at 1965 +450 on mem, but no dice, 19941.
 
I dont think my Ryzen 3900X is the hold up, so dont know if i will bump over.
