Drwafflessamueloa84Remember that the tuff is 1740mhz (or 1780 OC model) boost clock, the FTW3 Ultra is 1800 MHz and has a higher power limit..Need to look at the end frequency and power draw, not the offset in Afterburner.It'll still outperform the tuff even at lower clocks once it's gone past the power limit of the tuff.
stormtroopaThetaZeroCan we please get the original BIOS linked in this thread so we can revert? The 3090 thread has this, but the 3080 doesn't.I'm still waiting on a verified original BIOS from EVGA as well.

DrwafflesEVGA cover overclocking under warranty anyway.I set my voltage to 80% but set the temp limit to 65 until my waterblock arrives.As for long term reliability, I personally think temps are a bigger issue than voltage.. But over the course of 3+years who knows, it's a brand new chip.
ParaWMJust flashed this 450w bios, but not really any improvement. I can't get the card to use over 400w in any benchmark. All sliders maxed out. It doesnt seem to use the max voltage most of the time either. I know the mhz limit is around 2115, if it goes to/over 2130 it crashes. It does go over 1050mV (upto 1093mV) on rare occasions. But it usually hovers around 2055-2070 mhz @ 1012-1050mV @ 370-390watt or so. Any reason it is not using max power? Temps roughly 65°C. 3440x1440 resolution. Or any benchmarks / tips to make it use the full 450w? Flash is confirmed in GPU_Z, but I am not even sure everything is ok, as I have never seen it over 400w basically. Using MSI Afterburner with the voltage slider working.

Using MSI Afterburner with the voltage slider working. I’m still having this exact same problem...gone so far as to nuke and reinstall windows fresh, have tried just about everything I can think of with the same results. At this point, I guess I just fall into the “we don’t guarantee increased performance” Jacob listed, maybe it’s why it’s labeled beta? I just wish there was some way to confirm my card can’t do more than 400w because of (x) reason even though my power target is 450w
doug2507The quality of those cards and the conditions in which they are run do not require more power than thay are already drawing.
jimgrandboisdoug2507The quality of those cards and the conditions in which they are run do not require more power than thay are already drawing.I could accept this answer if I wasn’t sitting at 400w with power limit showing and clocks dropping sitting at 60c max core temp, I didn’t think that would be too warm? Regardless of that, I don’t really want to run the card full time over 400w, but I should be able to see it even briefly with my setup and I can’t, that’s what’s frustrating. Everything says I can hit 118% power target, but sits at 105% as if I never installed the higher power bios.

Everything says I can hit 118% power target, but sits at 105% as if I never installed the higher power bios.Open GPU-Z, got to advanced, select nvidia bios. Does it show a 450w maximum? You need to understand that 450w bios doesn't mean the card will pull 450w, that's just what is available to the card. If the card isnt a great clocker then it wont need 450. I had a 3090 that was a poor clocker and it would clock any higher than needing 420w to hit its max. You could throw a 750w+ KP bios on the card and it still won't draw more power than it needs for clocks (and voltage) it can reach.
doug2507Don't normally post here but thought I'd share this....3080 ftw3 on air with 5950x on water. All ambient, no chillers, rig inside the house. Looking forward to a water block arriving! Thank you EVGA!
StankiaCould you please post a link to the 3080 FTW Hybrid Bios as well?

Thank you EVGA!I would love to know your settings in time spy and Nvidia control panel as I have the same card and cpu and am no where near 20k
samueloa84Is unnacceptable, I bought the hybrid kit, I make an aggressive fan curve... Only +70 on the core, 0 at Vram... Only reach stable 2010mhz (at 65° omg I though that was cold!!!! ) ...never above 400wats, a completely dissapoint. :( last card from evga.
