Found a Strix in stock today. I´m out of here!
Stay strong...!

I almost bought an MSI 3090 over the weekend. What are you doing the EVGA card?

Trying to sell it to "friends" i don´t like "that" much...

In port royal i score 14250 with my ftw3 ultra out of the box on air and its a normal score for the normal bios on this card with the switch at oc position. No need any other things. 
 
 If you do something to increase really then you will get a score at around 15 000 in port royal so dont talk your card is super performing with a normal score of 14 300. That's it dude.

Out-of-the-box my ftw3 ultra was much less than 14.2k with the OC switch, and with the 500w bios posted in the first post of this thread. It is highly watt limited under those situations, which is something that is being discussed on this thread frequently. Furthermore, 14.3 is higher than 96% of results on 3dmark. Stop being delusional, ignorant, and rotten to other posters who are posting their experience about flashing different bioses for the benefit of other people who may be considering doing the same. You can't post anywhere to help anyone without being randomly attacked.
 
Update: Got 14516 in PR on air with the stock cooler. I'm pretty sure that's a good score without going to water cooling. CPU is an i9-7900X and the best result with that CPU and a 3090 is 15325.

The point of the post was to let people know that if they are watt limited with the official bios (drawing ~360 instead of 500), that flashing a different bios can help as others have stated.

Nobody said the card was "super performing". That is called a straw man, deliberately lying about things people didn't say, and attacking them for no reason.

Hello :)
 
My first post on EVGA, my first card from them.
After having the 6800XT i decided to switch to 3090 model.
I know the quality of EVGA in the past, that why i would get one at least once.
Just after buying the the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, I investigate on it (don't why i do that after buying lool), and when i see this thread, i was nervous.
As i took notice of this thread just some minutes after my buy, i could cancel it and take the MSI Prime X 3090 which was available for less 100euros on same store.
 
But... I decided to see ... and .... 493W on air cooling.
OC RAM +850 GPU +155 works without crash.
 
Very niceee cards thanks Evga...
 
Bye

 
Very nice. What is your serial number? Made in China?

Yeah mine works great with the 500w bios as well! Constantly stays above 470w in benchmarks and gaming. I don't know why some people are having issues with the FTW3 XOC bios and some are not.

I have the rev1.0 of the card for info

seems like a lottery. 3090 ftw3 ultra hybrid.
 
i used the bios on the first page the 3rd one and it just works. EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 HYBRID = 3090 ftw3 ultra hybrid ? 

 
mines made in taiwan.
 
15K port royal

Yo how cold was it in your house when you tested this LOL thats a solid 6c lower temp avg then my FTW3 Hybrid

Has anyone that has shunted there FTW3 also tried the XC3 Bios while shunted?
 
I understand that most with a shunted card run the KP520w or maybe just the regular FTW3 XOC 500w bios because power is no longer a big issue but high PCI slot power draw is (100-125+w when shunted) and the XC3 has much lower initial slot draw. 
 
So it would seem even shunted the power draw would be lower through PCI on XC3 bios and still get 600-700w+ depending on the shunt size you used..  Just an idea never seen anyone shunted comment on trying XC3 bios while shunted on FTW3...  Thanks!

Isn't the PCIE slot fuse 10A 120W? Sounds like "a bad idea."

changboy
mjemirzian2 you said with the xc3 bios your card performing a lot better but its not coz your score is the same then me with normal bios.
 
 When you write this you dont show your out of the box performance in port royal so how we can compare your performing a lot better then before ^

I second what he said if you read I've been posting and testing XC3 forever...this BIOS is great for gaming NOT for Benching, and I'm on Air, maybe things change with a good waterblock. Read my posts before and you'll see.

First impressions bad, something weird with the osd in precision with this bios causing crashes, osd off and seems to be ok,... more testing and stuff improves..  pulling around 495w peak.. (no more than 75w from the pcie,  Stable at 2100/10000 76 degrees on air.. blocks not arriving till mid april :( )

I also used the same bios on my FTW3 Ultra Hybrid. It works for me too but is it the wrong bios to use for Ultra Hybrid cards (factory oc)?

Have we heard anything official on new BIOS taking it out of beta?

Lol. No.
 
I laugh because there hasn't been one peep from tech support or Jacob here since the last time Jacob posted about them "looking into it" around...4(?) months ago now. Which, as I understand it, means that the draconian leadership has told them not to - which means this is likely all we get (meaning, here's the user found fix that EVGA won't incorporate - have at it (XC3 VBIOS post 3215)).

Hi there;
 
Could some of the FTW3 Hybrid owners upload the default BIOS (both if possible) in .ROM format?
 
The thing is that I flashed the XC3 BIOS just to try it and didn't make any backup since I already had the original BIOSes but now the BIOS installer won't let me install my original BIOS cause he thinks I have the XC3 (I only have the backups in .exe format!!
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
EDIT: Already fixed the issue by backing up the first pos BIOS and flashing it in the second pos, then updating again with the exe.
