And the demo at the beginning.

Demo has nothing to do with the score, why would you even run it?

Kram beta Bios 2 stock: <--- Newest test added

• Board Power Draw Average: 350.16W
• PCI-E Slot: 73.98W
• Pin 1 Average: 135.92W
• Pin 2 Average: 140.25W
• Average Voltage: ??? (GPU-Z log doesn't have voltage readings, maybe using older GPU-Z)
• Kram's average clocks are at 1810 Mhz at least so that's a good sign

 
I probably had that turned off in GPU-Z?

Just because it’s part of the full run and has more data. I don’t care about the score. Just the data from the telemetry. Which all factor into the stats like average clocks, etc. and more importantly it will actually show comparisons in the compare links rather than showing “N/A” for most of them. I don’t care about the CPU scores or the total score, just to have the compare links actually compare.

I lined them up, yes the green should be on your Graphics Test 1 instead of on mine.

This is strange. I have many more parameters being logged for my HC. But I haven’t really intentionally messed with any of the logging parameters. Do you have some turned off in the settings? I haven’t ever messed with the settings so I’m just speculating that some are disabled, or there’s something else weird going on.

Do you see voltage displayed in PX1 or AB?

Yes I turn off sensors that I don't care about, like CPU logging. Didn't realize I turned off a sensor reading that was needed.
 
I only used PX1 to turn off the led lights, then put the new beta bios on and used Afterburner 4.6.4 Beta 3 to set my clock speeds which shows mV, if that's what you're talking about, but Afterburner is shut down during the runs.

Need me to run the test again with the GPU Voltage sensor turned on?

Edit: One quirk of Beta Bios 2, I had to reinstall my drivers upon restart, I don't know if that's expected, I normally don't flash my Vbios.
 
 
Seems to provide a major boost in power, feels like I finally get all the power from this card.

GPU-Z log on stock-power draw sitting the 340-50's, PCIe power draw on cable #1 never went over 130w. 
Pcie near or at 70w and pcie #2 at 150w.

Overclocking done with Afterburner
 
My card still benefits the most from raising the Core frequency at lower voltages, namely between 900-916MV. Memory cannot be clocked beyond +500-550mhz without major losses in performance.
Attempting +1000mhz like Agentnasa resulted in a graphics score in the 17000s which i can share if wanted/needed.

Overall the bios seems to be an improvement and this is more like what I had expected when I got the card.

Timespy Graphic Test 2 run
 
grxcrxsi Beta Bios 1 (similar to stock, +120 on the core):

• Board Power Draw Average: 320.6W
• PCI-E Slot: 65.5W
• Pin 1 Average: 129.64W
• Pin 2 Average: 125.8W
• Average Voltage: 0.901v

 
Speedy Stock Bios:

• Board Power Draw Average: 342.73W
• PCI-E Slot: 64.69W
• Pin 1 Average: 137.63W
• Pin 2 Average: 140.35
• Average Voltage: 0.897v

Tricerakash Beta Bios 2:

• Board Power Draw Average: 350.40
• PCI-E Slot: 39.9W
• Pin 1 Average: 127.55W
• Pin 2 Average: 152.81W
• Average Voltage: 0.944v

It would be nice if future testers can do a test with their stock bios and then the beta bios so we can compare your cards before and after results. 
 
Edit: Tricerakash and Kram both have average clocks of 1810 Mhz in their timespy graphic test 2.

For my purposes beta 1 was basically identical to stock. So you can use that as a baseline.

I think the only log I found from your post was +125 on the core but I don't think that would have changed much in terms of what average voltage your card was able to sustain so it can be used as a baseline IMO. Added it to the post above yours. 
 
Edit: Sorry, on mobile. So far so good. It looks like 3 testers so far are having higher clocks and voltages with more power draw. 

looking at my own data, 1883MHz average core clock for TS GPU test #2
~50C core temps

Thanks, everyone.  I've sent your results over to our team.

The beta bios seems to consistently increase the average voltage, the extra power and whatever other tweaks EVGA has done to this bios looks like the fix XC3 users need. I'm assuming if you guys were running fans and AIOs on your card, you would be hitting 366W+ average board power draw? 
 
Looks like a success to me from our three testers here. I might be celebrating early for you all, but congratulations.

Edit: Fixed tricer PCI-E power draw

Nice to see things leaning towards the right direction.

This is really exciting to see, I'm glad EVGA was able to figure out a potential problem and a BIOS was able to correct the power behavior. I wonder how much this new BIOS will help cards that were using kinda normal power before? Hopefully we're able to see better behavior where the power limit sits around 350W more often than not for everyone, regardless of previous power behavior.
 
@KingEngineRevUp, thank you for consistently updating various people's results in the last few pages. They're very helpful.

Let me throw the "fixed" alternative option away😅:
 

You don't know how many times I felt like that with the Hydro Copper card lol.

Yep, thanks KingEngineRevUp for compiling the data for us.
 
Still have to check out the other beta bios on my air cooled card that I put a Hybrid kit on. The bios should still work fine with the Hybrid kit, right?

I'm anxiously waiting for those results. If the stock XC3 Air bios works then I would guess the beta one should as well, right?

gsrcrxsi
I would imagine the BOIS will still work, but the RGB and Fan Control might not work optimally. just like anyone else that puts a hybrid kit on their air cooled card and doesnt reflash it to hybrid.

Have you noticed any instability with the beta bios yet, especially with your production work?

If I am not mistaken it could work with some minor tweaking. Also, keep in mind the bios will be released to assist those with the issues you guys have, not all have the same issues you guys have encountered.

Real happy for you, imagine if we had any other cars like a Zotac, highly doubt they'd work with a bunch of users on a forum to fix their problem.

Thanks EVGA for helping these guys out.
 
Do hydro coppers still have the fan headers active? If not, I imagine you won't have functioning shroud fans, the pump won't pump and the fans won't spin? Not sure. I don't think I've seen anyone flash a hydro copper bios onto a air cooled card. Maybe everything will just spin at 100%?
