My 3090 FTW3 Ultra at stock (power slider maxed) only gets about 1100 points more for the GPU score, so I don't think you're that far off considering that the 30 series is totally power draw limited - 

I have the same card and I can't even break 19k stock...what score are you getting with power slider stock, not maxed(100%)? I'm thinking I got a really low performing card or something.

19K combined score, or GPU score? Try Port Royal as an apples to apples comparison - it doesn't care what your CPU is, or if it's overclocked.
 
Here's a stock run of Port Royal without touching the power sliders (older drivers now): 

I'm away from PC till the weekend, but I have the time spy results from a previous run. Notice that my graphics score is what is holding me back. It's odd too, because I've seen so many scores in the 20000's, with lower clock speeds than me, so idk how to figure out whats going on, or if I should get a replacement before my 30 days is up.
Let me know what you get completely stock in Time spy without changing power slider..

Port royal is a power limit benchmark more then anything.

Do you by any chance have time spy results on stock settings? Looking to compare our graphics scores.

Wow this card is not looking good. I might just send it back for refund once I get it..

Here's what upsetting the discrete GPU market looks like: 
 
Navi 21 is shaping up to be as fast as the 3090 with 16GB of video memory on 7nm TSMC node with a 256 bit bus (128mb cache will compensate for this) @ 300w (100w less than GA-102-300) for $1000 and will run all of the next gen console ports, whose underlying architecture, RDNA 2, is the same and whose engines, including Unreal engine, will be heavily optimized around. Both next-gen consoles will have native path tracing, AI super-sampling and their equivalent of 'RTX IO' (AMD invented this first, NGreedia followed suit). 
 

You were doing fine with your post until this.
 
There are no leaked numbers or expectations that say Big Navi will be on par with the 3090. Everything to date says it slots between 3070 and 3080. Wish it was a better performer, but that lines up with their goal of double a 5700XT performance. What remains to be seen is how much headroom is avail due to TSMC's 7nm process.
 
I assume when you talk about RTX IO you are referring to AMD's HBCC? HBCC was forward thinking of AMD, but still sits unused. RTX IO is Nvidia's implementation of DX12's DirectStorage. Since XBSX is using RDNA2(ish), I would assume AMD has HBCC or a newly re-vamped version of it ready to go.
 
Also, just FYI, the Samsung 8nm isn't EUV. Their 7nm is and their 5nm will be then transitioning to GAA. It's one of the reasons there are such power inefficiencies with Ampere.

I have the 3090 FTW3 ultra and also, I don’t go beyond 1950MHz in timespy.
Even pulling slider power and voltage at max in MSI AB, voltage max in timespy is 0,987V.
Totally power limited.
What is weird is that some people with same card can see much beyond frequency in timespy....So, we face also EVGA lottery.

The only solution I found, is to flash the card with a 2x8pins bios, as the KFA2 bios 390W for example.

I can now see 1,1V, and total available frequency range !

Of course, you flash at your own risk

If you have a 3090 FTW3 that has the load balancing issue it can really hurt the card's performance depending on the severity of the issue. I had both my 3090 XC3 and a 3090 FTW3 I was thinking of upgrading to at the same time. The 3090 FTW3 performed exactly the same as my 3090 XC3 because the FTW3 card suffered from the load balancing issue where it pulled 80-85W from the PCI-E slot and less than 90W from the third 8-pin. The 3090 FTW3 averaged 370W power draw on stock BIOS while my 3090 XC3 averaged 360W power draw. My 3090 XC3 seemed to have better silicon as it actually boosted higher at 360W than my 3090 FTW3 did at 370W. The XOC BIOS barely did anything for the 3090 FTW3; it increased overall power draw by about 10W and overall performance barely changed. If anything it performed the same as my XC3 with the XOC BIOS. The FTW3 was returned to the retailer.
