i have a watercooled, XC3 Ultra gaming Part Number: 12G-P5-3955-KR is it possible to flash a bios on it to give it little more Powerlimit ?
Hope to get a reply :)
only one you can try is the GALAX HOF 1000W bios but you have to keep an eye on power draw to not blow the fuses on your card
do i need to try flash it and hope i works, or you know it works ?

I cannot guarantee that it will work but theoretically it should give you around 600w power limit Though keep an eye on the power draw on PCIE slot so as not to pop the fuse

So, I doubt a new bios update is available, but I would like a way to check using Precision X1 and it would nice if precision also told me what bios I am using. I know other ways to find it, you'd just expect such a piece of software to do that considering it's design for said hardware. Anyways, the only info I got from this thread was the ability to flash the bios and make my 3080 ti FTW3 "act" like a hybrid. Why would I want to do that? All I want to do is find the latest bios. Would be great if it was as easy as finding the new drivers - which I check regularly. Why do I have to rely on Precision to auto update instead? I don't trust auto-update on startups, they do not always connect or work properly.

Open PX1 and click the ⓘ button on the lower right corner of the window (next to the software version number). This will show you what BIOS version you're running. Or, you can see the BIOS version in the Re-BAR menu of PX1. Additionally, you will see a clickable "Update" button next to the BIOS version in the Re-BAR menu if an one exists. Otherwise, the auto-updates you sometimes experience on startup of PX1 are firmware updates, not BIOS, and they are usually for things like the MCU (microcontroller unit) for the fans and RGB. Lastly, why you'd want to change to the hybrid BIOS, for example, is if you replaced the stock air cooler with EVGA's hybrid cooler. Anyway, I hope this helps and clears things up a bit.

Just for clarification, does flashing the hybrid Bios to the 3080 Ti FTW3 increase the power limit or anything else OC potential related? Cause the power slider in Precision X1 is lower with the Hybrid Bios, but haven't actually compared the results yet.

Have these bioses been updated at all ever?
How would we know if they are updated and we need to patch up to the newest version?
Only want to make sure I'm not missing any updates and all that.

I just upgraded from an EVGA 3080 ftw3 ultra that I had converted to hybrid myself, to a 3080ti ftw3 ultra hybrid, and I noticed a difference in the power limit. I had installed the OC bios on the 3080 a while back, which let me increase the power limit to 118%, and I read in the opening post here that the 3080ti's already come with the OC bios as the stock bios, so I figured I'd be able to up the power limit to 118% as well, but it will only go as high as 112%. I've made sure that I have the physical bios switch on the card set to the overclock bios. Is there some reason the power limit is lower? Is there a different bios that will let me increase it to 118, or is 112 as high as it can safely be set? Edit: nevermind, question was answered in different thread.

Hey quicks, quick question: I'm going to attach an EKWB waterblock soon to my 3080 and i've heard that there are some issues with some cards (wb potentially killing them maybe?) and i'd like to know if flashing xoc bios voids my warranty in case i need to rma a dead card.

I updated the 3090 XC3 Hybrid BIOS and the card constantly draws 185W of power no matter what the clocks or load is. I've seen other posts with this issue.
Is there another XC3 bios that doesn't have this issue?

PSA#1: TURN OFF "FAST BOOT" IN YOUR MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
.....
So, please make sure to turn off Fast Boot until you are done flashing, and you've decided on which BIOS switch you want to use. At that point, you can restart and re-enable Fast Boot again, if you wish.
PSA#2: DISABLE CSM IN YOUR MOTHERBOARD BIOS BEFORE FLASHING A REBAR BIOS.
...
Disable CSM in your motherboard BIOS, or you run the risk of getting a black screen at boot. For FTW3 cards, which you can flip the switch on the card to go to a non-ReBAR BIOS, you can quickly fix this and get picture again. However, for those of you with an XC3 card, you only get one BIOS, and it will likely lead to an RMA if CSM is not disabled.
Note - It's true that you could run into some issues with booting into your OS or legacy hardware if you disable CSM. However, you can resolve those issues by re-enabling CSM. If you discover that you have an issue when you disable CSM, it's far better to learn what you need to do to fix those issues before you flash your card to an unrecoverable state. Plenty of people on this forum can help you figure out what you need to do to get your system ready for Resizable BAR.
OK, I will be flashing a 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra, which means all the BIOS options are Resizable BAR BIOS. PSA#1 states to disable fast boot, and goes on to state that you can re-enable fastboot later if you desire, once the BIOS flashing is done. PSA#2 states to disable CSM before flashing so you don't brick your card.... great to know. Are you able to re-enable CSM after the flashing is complete as well? or does it need to remain disabled indefinitely? It would be nice for that point to be clear. This is sort of important to know as users might update their motherboard BIOS after the graphics card was flashed, which could (likely would) re-enable CSM. Alternately, they might move a flashed graphics card to a new rig and not think to check CSM setting.

Nevermind I figured it out. If you're having poor performance from your 3080 TI XC Ultra Hybrid Gaming like me, I made a guide on reddit if I'm allowed to post it here...

Hey, @EVGATech_LeeM If, for some reason the bios update fails (stuck at update, or fast boot enabled, or csm enabled) and I get a black screen at boot, is it possible to fix it by plugging the monitor at the motherboard onboard graphics and reflashing it in windows? Or maybe the display driver won't appear anymore to perform the reflash? I'm asking this because I have a 3080 XC3 and I have just one bios, if anything goes wrong (like an unlucky power surge), one would have to RMA the card, and that's a long process, so if there is a way to fix it by booting with integrated graphics it would be awesome, because right now I'm kind of hesitant in flashing it and something going wrong. I already have CSM and fast boot disabled, but still scared to flash it, so many people had problems in the past with this process. Thanks!

I mean, it depends on how badly the flash went. If you still have picture and can boot into Windows, you're probably fine and might just be having a driver issue. If it's completely bricked, then it's RMA time. Short of that (like no display, but the card appears to be working), you can try to force flash it with some command line arguments.

Hey @EVGATech_LeeM, Thanks for the fast response, but you didn't quite answer exactly what I asked which is my main concern. In the case of a failed vbios update for any reason where you get no display output, can I use the integrated graphics on my motherboard to boot and try to reflash the card? Or for example, if someone forgets to disable CSM and flashes the vbios and don't get picture, can't they just use another gpu or the igpu (if available) to boot and disable it? or it doesn't work like that? Thank you.

Thank you.
Using a different GPU or the iGPU to boot into BIOS and disable CSM would be the preferred method, for sure. It's a bit more challenging to flash the vBIOS of the card if you boot in using the iGPU because the motherboard might disable the primary PCIe slot, which would make it undiscoverable when trying to flash it.

Ok so can't update bios with these files on 3080 TI FTW3 Ultra. There is no option on my MSI bios for fast boot and the option is off in windows. This is an X570 MB and I am running in UEFI. But still vbios will not update. Exec runs but bios does not update. Should also point out that I was able to flash a 450 watt vbios to a 3080 earlier this year without issue. Running as administrator as well. Any ideas?

I got the OC bios installed but my power limit will not go past 109%, which is 406w. Using a LHR 3080 FTW3 Ultra. Is there a fix to bump it up to 450w?

I got the OC bios installed but my power limit will not go past 109%, which is 406w. Using a LHR 3080 FTW3 Ultra. Is there a fix to bump it up to 450w?
Use the Galax 1000w bios and set the limit to 47%
Duckduckgo is failing me, you know where I can find it?
That shows for 3080 TI, mine is just 3080 10GB LHR

You sure you flashed the bios correctly then? Cuz when I had a 3080 I flashed the bios incorrectly and my slider stopped at 109
