These 3090s used to run consistently above 2000MHz, ranging from about 2025 to 2070. After a firmware update they're regularly dipping to 1800MHz. This change happened on two machines, one with a 3090 FTW3 and a 3090 Hybrid, the other machine with a 3090 FTW3.
 
I called EVGA and they said to try the studio driver instead of the game driver. I ran DDU and installed the studio driver on the 2x GPU machine, however the behavior is the same. The agent said maybe it was the firmware update and I should just wait to see if there's an update addressing this issue.
 
Any idea how to return to the initial performance above 2000MHz?
 
I've kept Precision settings the same throughout: clock +100, power and temp sliders max (107%, 91 C). +0 mem, +0 voltage.
 
Machine 1
Precision X1 1.1.7
Studio Driver 461.40
also Game Driver 461.40
Windows Pro Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042

    Only EVGA can update the MCU firmware via PX1, and I don't think that there's a way to downgrade it even for EVGA (at least outside of an RMA).

    It shouldn't be dipping like that, though, right?

    There is a way to go back to an older firmware version... https://forums.evga.com/R...ate-Tool-m3214879.aspx

    Nice! Of course it's in the PX1 forum

    No, not unless your GPU is hitting very high (80C+) temperatures.

    No, max on the ftw is in the low 60s. Lower for the hybrid.

    Any other steps or ideas before trying to revert firmware?

     have you tried looking at the Voltage curve in Afterburner or try the reset to default button?

    no, thank you for the tip. turns out it was settings specific to the project. the cards are behaving normally. will keep the voltage curve in mind for future troubleshooting.
