I recently went from a 3090 xc3 ultra to a 3090 ftw3 ultra via the step up about a week ago. The model sent is 24G-P5-3987-KR. I did the normal DDU and the latest geforce drivers.

X1 also updated the bios/firmware at least twice then one final time for rebar.

I flashed the bios in the first post thinking it would help but didn't read the part about not doing it if it's a recent card.

Bios is set to Gen 4. I'm getting sub 60fps...usually around 30/40 on everything 😭😭😭 at 1440p.

Do I have a brick? Anything anyone can recommend? Have tried with/without rebar and toggling normal/OC.

Not good so far from EVGA's 3090oc program.
 
Got the OK to ship in RMA 2 weeks ago. I overnight my card in. They got it. They promised a max of 3 business days until they ship my replacement.
 
Annnnnd nope. Radio silence. Every attempt to contact has been met with "we are working on it" while clearly they told me they have a replacement for me ready to go when I shipped in mine.
 
Now they just give me the run-around "we dont know the status of your case and sucks to be you without a GPU lol"
 
I had good hope for EVGA's build quality which is not the case for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, supported by this specific 3090oc program. I had good hope for EVGA's customer service, only to get increasingly rude emails when I inquire.
 
 
Take your money else where, EVGA does not seem to be as good as people make it sounds like. I had RMA experience before with ASUS and Gigabyte GPUs and I would say EVGA is about the same as them, maybe even a bit worse.
 
Very disappointed. Do not do the 3090oc program. They will not give you a replacement even when they promised for available replacement for you to send your current card in.

OK, do we have any feedback yet on which (Chinese or Taiwanese) would be the better choice for the exchange program? Or are the two equivalent?

I have posted this several times now, but I had Evga straight up tell me that the PCIE power draw and the non balance of PCIE pins is a non issue if you are pulling the correct overall power. I have seen lots of people posting things like 78w or 80w pcie power draw (which my FTW3 hybrid has as well) but that in itself is not an issue. They said that the software measurements are not for sure perfectly accurate and if you do indeed pull the right overall wattage, say 500w on the XOC 500w bios then you have a functioning card. 
 
Perhaps others have heard differently but that was direct from the posted email at evga for the 3090oc deal. My vote is if you do in fact have the correct power draw just be happy with it as RMA'ing it won't really guarantee a fix and will just be a hassle.

When I go to install the 3090 FTW3 hybrid OC bios it is saying no display adapters are compatible with this update?

My bios is 94.02.42.C0.11.  Would that be the latest?

Except EVGA went through the expense and time to redesign and update the product to "fix" this issue. No company willingly spends the money to retool a product unless there is a legitimate reason to do so. Either fixing an issue, or cutting cost. So which one is this?
