Regarding to overclockers the black has even lower power limit , not sure if now it was increased , where can i find latest bios files

I can flash the xc3 ultra bios ofcourse and i believe it is the exact same card just with backplate , question is does that void warranty ?

AFAIK, the ultra has a higher binned chip as well as the backplate.

I reverted to an early August driver and got my performance back.

That was about the time I noticed the performance dip. Do you remember which driver version you reverted to? I’m tempted to do the same.

Sooooo. I did this and it completed. But it’s not updating the device name. Still says RTX 3080 FTW Ultra

Disabled Fast Boot & CSM before updating?

Hello
 
I have RTX 3080 XC3 BLACK (10G-P5-3881-KL )
I open EVGA  Precision X1  and it update my card vbios yesterday.
New Bios Version is [94.02.71.40.B7].
 
I am surprised for this update .
I dont know it will update Vbios . 
I think it only update Precision X1 Version.
 
So I dont save my old Bios Version file also not remember old vbios number .
it is not my day.
 
 
And this new Bios Version is not good work for my card.
 
When i use New vbios  to play game .
Temperature is highter than old. [OLD:60~63  NEW:63~70]
Make some voise louder than old .
fps is higher than old , but just only 3~5 fps 
 
So i want to take old VBios to downgrade this .
But in this article , RTX3080 XC3 black origin is [94.02.71.40.B7].
 
maybe i need some old Bios Version or Previous Bios Version to try it again.
i want my old vbios come back .
 
because it is silence , lower Temperature for me .
 
I dnot want to RMA card , because it is NEW card in my hand , only 5 day!
And RMA it is very troublesome for me.
So i need some help .
very thanks for support.

MY OS : Windows 7
After i update my Vbios , I DDU it again , but New vBios still not good work for me 

I also find some Old XC3 black Vbios in TechPowerUp , but in there Card all KR not LHR .
i cant use that

Probably the card draws more power now hence the more fps / heat , i would be happy if this is the case

I will be picking up the same card monday so if you wait i can do backup i am planning to update it to newest after i did the testing on the old bios

very thanks for your help !

But bad news who have 3080 XC3 BLACK ,  their origin vbios is [94.02.71.40.B7]

i think maybe different batches.

maybe my batches is old .

and more fps/heat is great . i agree . but ... [FPS --> The upper and lower limits become larger]

like : apex 

old vbios average : 130~180
new vbios average : 100~200

upper fps really improve , but lower fps really decline too .

so fps like high and down , not Stablize for my card .

another game either , like PUBG and CSgo

Important GTA (idk why)

In GTA fps is very lower than my old GTX1070 

Regardless of old vbios or new vbios , their fps all lower my old GTX1070

Regardless of 1080p , higher setting or lower setting

Has anyone had the issue, where you've received a 3090OC from RMA, which still doesn't work with the 500W BIOS?

I think you may have mistaken a VBIOS update for the MCU Firmware update.
 
For 3080 XC3 LHR cards, such as the XC3 BLACK, there has only been one BIOS for the card (94.02.71.40.B7), which matches the BIOS in this thread.  This means that the graphics card BIOS has not changed, nor would any internal parameters controlled by the BIOS changed.
 
Now, it's possible that some fan values or profiles may have changed with the update to your MCU.  Using PX1 or Afterburner, you might need to work on the fan control of the card to more finely tune it so that the temperature does not affect the GPU Boost on the card.  However, I would tend to think the performance difference could be chalked up to different drivers or game updates, or other software updates like Windows Updates.
