Got my replacement today. About to start installing it.

Nice. My RMA card is on the way. I might switch to my old emergency 980 Ti SC card in the meantime - I can't even play Civ V without it crashing after a while on this 3090 now, even on default clocks. :(

Was this some that deteriorated over time? Any theories as to what caused the instability?

Did a few PR benches and its running about the same as my original card. This card crashed at +175 core while the other could do +200. Card runs a bit warmer as the other as well. Hitting 60 in game, but it is a bit warmer now compared to when I tested the original card. This card gave me a scare when I launched The Division 2. After about 2 minutes fans went full blast and display went dark. I could still hear the game so I reset the display driver, but that didnt fix it. I was afraid to force the shut down as after that the other card never recovered. This one did recovery after the shut down. Only thing I had messed with to play was the power slider. I set it to 107%. I made sure everything was on stock values, did steps 7-10 of the following thread (https://forums.evga.com/Basic-troubleshooting-steps-Windows-clean-boot-clean-driver-install-debug-mode-etc-m2504606.aspx) and ran game again. This time I played for about an hour with no issues. A few random stutters happened at 2 different points. Going to mess some more with settings tomorrow.

1440p max settings as well

I like the card. Was a very tight fit in my case. It runs 20+ degrees cooler than my 2080ti. Yeah I saw that we are the only ones. I deleted all my old scores and starting new with the replacement. I saw someone made a sheet in there for the XC3 hybrid and inputed their ingo. Hopefully others join in. Feel free to link the spreadsheet on the first post.

My hybrid is broken or something I'm hitting a hard 400 watt power limit even with sliders increased. And xoc bios 500 watt.

There are quite a number of folks with that same/similar issue. Most reporting the issue have the air cooled ver. of our cards(though I am unsure it that matters).
With the normal bios on the OC setting I tend to pull 430-450W during Port royal depending on OC. I do get into the 440s when under hvy load.

What is your max and average power draw during Port Royal? How about your PR scores? I would be happy to run some test to give you concrete numbers. Perhaps starting at stock and moving to a light OC.

FYI: I have never used the XOC, I am not comfortable with the beta aspect of it.

Been lurking here quite a bit. Got my FTW3 Hybrid up and running. Did a run on the XOC bios with +100 core and +800 mem and +50 voltage, only got about 13,650 port royal score. I was hitting power limits in GPU-Z under the PerfCap Reason section. Was seeing nice even power draw between all 3 x 8 pin connectors though. Max board use on GPU-Z was about 460-465W. (I did see a fluke 505W when running MSI kombuster when i tabbed out of the program, but nothing sustained this high). However, the card was throttling the core clock pretty hard, frequently under 2000 mhz during the run despite ~55C. Decided to take the redpill and try XC3 bios...
 
First run on +85 core and +900 mem was 14,301. First try! No other tweaking... Core clocks were avg 2051, and max set was 2085. I also ran another benchmark on MSI Kombuster, where I previously had a score of 5870, I now scored 6126, and a change of 5 more FPS.

Needless to say, it's pretty sad the XOC BIOS throttles so heavily, it seems extremely conservative as my temps were fine. I don't really want to run the jury-rigged XC3 BIOS all the time, and I don't want to update firmware when I open precision X1 because I'll probably go back to the stock OC BIOS soon anyways. Hopefully EVGA figures out this mess and releases a final version of the OC/XOC bios that will really be able to leverage the horsepower this card can put down.
