Any updated when the new Bios will be released

Post some results now so we can see the difference the bios makes.

 
My Rig is actually 5 years old now :

• i7 6700k (4.2Ghz Boost)
• ASUS Prime Z270-P
• Corsair Dominator 16+16Gb 3200Mhz XMP
• Corsair AX760 PSU
• Corsair MP600 1TB SSD M.2

 
3DMark Time Spy Basic Demo test. My total score as expected is much lower because of the above rig bottlenecking my 3080Ti about 30%, so I'll just post Graphics score and some GPUZ results:
 
Stock with maxed power target:

• BIOS version: 94.02.71.80.8B
• Nvidia Driver: 471.41
• Graphics Score: 18 690
• Power draw ranged from 335w to 365w with max power draw: 371.8w
• Coreclock average from 1725 to 1830 with max 1935Mhz
• PCI Slot Power: 65-66w with Max 67.6w
• #1 8pin: 136-139 with max 145.6w
• #2 8pin: 139-145 with max 159.1w
• Max TPD: 106.2%
• Max GPU Voltage: 1.0810v
• Max GPU Temp: 76.7C (Hot!!)

You'll need to check the average voltage in Timespy Graphic test 2 to see what the power you're receiving can actually do with it. That's probably a metric just as important as checking power draw. They're two halves of diagnosing your card.

It might take a bit because they're now investigating all 30 series cards and seeing if they can boost performance in all of them or not.

Links to your test is what we want.

 
Can't post links or screenshots yet.
 
Let me know what kind of tests I can run again. I'll try to help out as much as I can if it's going to help the engineers out.

I have the 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra.

I disconnected both RGB plugs from my card and removed the fans in favour of 3x 92mm fans running off my motherboard. My max board power draw is now 20 - 25 watts less than previously.

Will the upcoming BIOS update allow my card to make use of the extra available power or can I flash the BIOS for say the 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro?

You'd have to ask Kram, he has a air cooled one and a watercooled one and I believe both are running the beta bios. 
 
He would have to test and see the the average voltage of his watercooled card is higher than his air one. But something tells me the answer to your question is no. 

I'm getting the same power usage from both cards with the beta bios. An interesting side note, the Hydro Copper beta bios could not be installed on the Air Cooled card through EVGA's bios update utility. I didn't go any further with trying to use nvflash as I didn't see the need to do so. I just was playing around and somehow the EVGA bios update utility knows if the card is a Hydro Copper or not.

Any idea if the Hybrid's will ever get the BetaBios love?

When I installed the beta bios on my air cooled card that I put a Hybrid kit on, PX1 saw the card as a Hybrid, only 2 fans instead of 3. So I would say EVGA already has it and rolled the air cooled and hybrid beta bios rolled into one, like Nvidia does with drivers. The bios update utility for the Hydro Copper could not be used on my air cooled card, it said there was no card in my system for that bios when I ran it on my air cooled card.

Upgraded my bios to 94.02.71.80.8C and now my gpu utilization in multiple games is lower than it was before updating.

Context?
Is performance/FPS worse or the same?
Are you using a frame limiter? (If so, then I could see how a higher clock speed from more power would reduce utilization)
Is this a beta BIOS? Or an update pushed through PX1?

Any plans to look into similar power draw improvements for the other 3080s that are pulling less voltage than they could from the PCI-E slot?
Lots of people with 3080 FTW's that wont go over 400w with a 450w board limit.

I don't have a comment on that at this time.  Let's get the 3080 Ti XC3-based cards squared away first, and give our VGA/BIOS teams some time to also work on ongoing projects and determine if they can fit something like this in.  Beyond that, I don't have further information to give you at this time.

 
That certainly sounds reasonable, and its not a 'no' so its good for me. Thanks for the reply.

I got from Amazon for 1399$ plus tax. How come 1199$ is the listing price on Evga site. So unfair

For what card? And, did you buy directly from Amazon or from a scalper selling through Amazon?

christinang1122
Direct from Amazon. Sold by Amazon llc. 3080ti ftw3

That’s the MSRP for that model you paid exactly what you were supposed to. 1199 is the price for the XC3 model.

But that has nothing to do with this thread.

Ooooh, what unrelated fixes? Are we going to have 3rd party RGB control?

Here's the new version of PX1:
https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/
 
After installing, go to the ReBAR icon at the top, and click the update button.  This will update your card to the latest BIOS for what your card currently shows in PX1.
 
If you installed a hybrid kit on your card, I recommend using the force flash on the BIOS page here first:  https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-30-Series-HYBRIDXOCDefault-BIOS-Thread-m3407542.aspx, and then updating the card through PX1.  Obviously, no need to do this if you purchased the XC3 HYBRID card.

Lee, thanks for helping the XC3 guys out. You could have ghosted the community and not responded at all but EVGA really did what EVGA is known for. Great customer service.
