eXp67 I dont see any problem in ur card :)
 
Just look at youtube review and you will find many rtx-3090 score 12 750 in port royal !
 
So thinking the ftw3 under performing is far from the true unless you have a card with a real problem.
Some buy a strix rtx-3090 and cant hit 14k in port royal but i also saw some score 15k.
 
So over 14k in port royal and up its a silicon lotery, 15k coz you won the jackpot.
But like i said in a previous post even some dude score 15k its barely noticeable once in game at 4k coz fps will always goes up and down and 14.3k vs 15k its about 1.5 fps in 4k gaming if its not less !
 
And for 15.6k to 16k you need mod your card and void the warranty for 1k in benchmark ? is this worth it ?
Me i dont think i dont do benchmark contest and anyway you will always find someone who will beat you.
Kingpin itself broke or killed many cards do be in top 5. That's mean even with the kingpin card, just a limited amount of card will peform better then the others.

Hello, I flashed the XOC 500 bios and got 500w max and 78w on PCIe slot with 119% power slide on afterburner. I guess my card is ok?

Posting this here as I have been following this thread and there have been a lot of comments about cards dieing. I wasnt even running the XOC bios this time.
 
beyond frustrated with EVGA right now. I've now had 2 3090 ftw3 hyrbrids fail on me. Both did the exact same thing. This time I was playing GTA5 for about 5 minutes and the card decided to black screen, fans 100%, followed by a no post. Red light by the pcie connector.  I've been watching these forums and this seems to be a common problem. I've literally owned hundreds of graphics cards(I have a problem) and I have never had so many issues. I have 6 pages of registered cards with EVGA. Maybe I'm just super unlucky .. PRoboably... I know for sure I'm super frustrated.  AFter spending 60 dollars for saturday shipping the last time... lets hope they comp the shipping for me this time. I know I know.. first world problems... but still. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI: Each card has lasted a little less than a month. 

Good morning 
The new bios should actually help to fix this problem, which is why it was already released in beta. Unfortunately there is still a problem, which is why feedback has been collected over the past few weeks via the international EVGA forum. So it's the programmers' turn and we assume that we will be able to release a new version shortly that will hopefully eliminate these problems for good.

so guys i want to try xc3 bios on my 3090 ftw3 hybrid... i have few questions: 1) it will void warranty same as kingpin bios? 2) fans and rgb will work properly? 3) it bugs out gpu power draw only or also pcie? thanks

I never test it again, but i'll do it tonight :)
All this question has been answered many times (i read them lol)
 
1) Go to XC3 doesn't break the warranty, not same like the 1000W unlocked.
2) @ give a tuto / It will not break your RGB/FAN if you delete X1 precision which will force update firmware to XC3 and will lost RGB/FAN control.
> So you have to delete X1 precision before flash and not using it after, but alternative like MSI AfterBurner per example.
3) Apprently, XC3 bios lock correctly the PCI-E delivery to 66W/75W max, letting the full power of the 8pin to be archieved. In this way, you can go under 500W. Easy ?

flashed XC3 bios on my 3090 ftw3 hybrid and now things are exactly as they are supposed to be! now gpu can pull all the power it needs, max power draw on pcie i see is 66w and frequencies stay rock solid while benchmarking.... hellyeah!!! 

Can you please link the bios you've used? Thanks.
