A lot going on here.  Sorry for the intrusion. I landed here due to having some extremely poor performance in game I have been trying to track down.  Not to digress, 5950X, 32gb 3733 @ CL14 1T, 3090 FTW3 Ultra, Bios Version 94.02.26.48.F8. 850 Gold+ PSU. I play @ 1080p on a 360hz display.  Max Board Power Draw is 441, Max GPU Chip Power Draw is 237.  Averages are 315 and 152.  Max Clock is 1935 and mem 1219, average GPU clock is 1863 mem solid at 1219. Max temps under these conditions are 75 using extreme Heaven.  PCIe Power is 75 at the absolute max.  This seem ok, is there another bios I should try?  System could be fine and its a driver issue or the game.  Thank you everyone!

Well, gentlemen,  I got my Optimus block on the 3090 and can safely say now I feel pretty damn good about where I'm at.   Running XOC HC Bios.  

(24c  ambient with my girlfriend home and heat on lol)      44 is the highest I've seen under load w/ voltage / power sliders maxed and 2145 core.      Pushed up to 2200 before I crashed stress testing furmark for an idea.   Its incredible how much these things scale with temperature.  I almost wanted to try this block on my other 3090 first as it "appears" to boost higher.    However once those power limits hit,  I'd see that other card struggling to hold 1800 mhz.  

Pci-E slot power 60W   highest I've seen is low 70 on this card.    Most of the time it doesn't show purely power limited as my other most recent 3090.   Will see what kind of port royal score I can get.

I tried MULTIPLE bioses on each of these cards.    The issue is NOT going to be fixed with bios flash.   Some cards run within spec some don't.   The odds are unfortunately you aren't going to get a high overclocking "golden" GPU simultaneously matched up with a nonpower limiting board w/o some serious 3090 binning.

What's your cooling setup? How many Radiators? Single or dual loop?


Just giving the temperature is a bit like some people saying "I get 70 fps" 😋




Edit:

Nevermind I just realized the attached photo 🤣

 Me i use 2 x 360mm + 1x 280 mm radiator, i belive the optimus block is a bit better then my ek one.
 
I have an optimus fondation for my cpu and its great. But the thing is those product are expensive as hell and i already pay 400 cad for the EK block for my 3090 and iam pretty sure the optimus block will have cost me 600 cad, for this i buy the EK one.
 
Not long time ago i bought block + backplate for 200 cad but today the price is pretty crazy.

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

Three days ago i get a Strix OC, too
(I still have the FTW3 Ultra)

update my score : 15 074

Also look my gpuz :

no matter what BIOS I use my card can't draw over 440W. I hear this is a HW issue and cannot be fixed with software... Is this right? 3090 ftw ultra hybrid

So I put the xc3 ultra hybrid bios on my ftw3 ultra and now I can’t flash back to the original bios. Any suggestions?

changboy
why with my rtx-3090 ftw3 ultra i draw 525w then ?
 
Try watch a movie with mpc hc, it impressive how much power draw this program. I mean with madvr at highest setting.
It draw 490w sometime just watch a movie in 4k lol.
 

Watching a movie doesn't use the GPU in any meaningful way, 4k or not.

It'll be awesome to see later when then the house is less hot.

What are you talking about?  Water cooling doesn't make your house less hot.  Watercooling makes heat release from the card faster, makes the card perform better, therefore the card produces more heat, therefore it makes your house more hot, not less hot.

He is curious, how his gpu Temps are, once he got lower ambient Temps in his house. If I remember right, his girlfriend turned the heater to 24°c

Coz you dont know how watch a movie with high quality filter on pc, just that.
 
I have try the 1000w bios and when i do port royal test i see 550w and 90W on pcie slot.
So i watch a movie and saw 688w and 108 on pcie ! So i change that bios verry fast coz its dangerous.

are u being serious or joking.  The most i ever have drawn was 650 watts with time spy extreme with GPU at 150+ and mem 700+

 If i were you, i wont use the 1000w bios its dangerous and if you dont check always what happen you will fry ur card. A chance i check my gpuz when i begun watch the movie. 

 Ya maybe but after i saw this 108W on pcie i was scare to use it so i change it and the other reason its when i gaming even i was at 100% my card keep dropping at 1990mhz and this not happening with the 2x 8pins bios, my card boost at 2080mhz to 2100mhz all the time and dosen't drop anymore.
 
 This mean in game the 2x 8pins bios perform better then the 1000w...at least for me. Also i not worry about checking all the time the pcie power draw and play with the slider power.
 
 Also the memory didnt downclock at idle and always boost at the boost speed or you need to play with memory and put -mhz to get memory stop boosting at full speed also at idle power draw was 108w if i remember. So like you can see the 1000w bios its a shame to use. This is what i think hehehe.

 Lol, so you tell me -ur memory not always on boost clock even at idle ?
                             -you tell me dont notice high power draw on pcie ?
                             -ur card not always pull 108w at idle ?
                             -how you sure you run with the 1000w bios then ?
Coz everyone have those issue coz its an unlock bios made for ln2, what is ur oc core and memory on ur card ?
How your score on port royal ? my score is 15 064 with my bios with 68W power draw on pcie.
