Hey bro, I'm living in Sweden too, I purchased my card from Inet. As far as I understand you didn't send your card to the reseller, but directly to EVGA Germany? 
My card too is also out off spec (3090 FTW3 Ultra rev. 0.1), can draw up to 80W+ on the PCIe slot, this on standard bios.  The 12V is also unbalanced on the 3 PCIe 12V inputs. Have just purchased a new MB with new CPU and RAM, don't wanna fry it... 
But my card acts strange, for several month the problem was 3rd 12V was to low compared to the the 2 others, but now from one day to another its OK, but now it's the #1 that has become to low.
Regards

Jag kontaktade Evga direkt på 3090oc@evga.com
Du måste registrera din produkt och ladda upp kvittot sen skickar du screenshots till dom och begär ett nytt kort med revision 1.0 och insisterar på att du vill ha det pga pcie porten drar 80+w.
Du står för frakten och ansvaret dit, jag skickade med ups day after delivery det kändes säkrare. Allt tog ca 1v dvs dit och ett splitterny tbx.

Mitt nya kort är bra nu pcie går ej över 65w men jag kommer upp i ca 480w nu plus minus och pcie #3 drar fortf för lite. Mitt förra kort kom upp i 500w men pcie drog 80+w

Går du igenom inet kommer du komma till evgas vanliga rma och du lär få en refubished kort med 0.1 revision förmodligen. 3090oc@evga.com är deras special rma just för dessa kort.

Hoppas jag förklarade så att du förstår, har du fler frågor hjälper jag gärna till.

My serial is 21125 so presumedly this year made in China, black lips, no rebar bios on it on arrival, now updated to XOC rebar.

My b550 Aorus pro shuts down instantly when over 107%, pcie excess draw I’d think.
Asus b550f WiFi handles up to 119% but the power draw is lucky to go over 410w.

Weirdest thing is, UserBenchmark, only , makes the card reflect the power limits exactly. Nothing else seems to..
It made me question if I was doing something wrong.

But I simply can’t use a card if I don’t know which app is going to respect the power limits and which won’t. At any rate 80w is surely out of spec and that warrants the RMA along with rarely being able to hit even the base usage of 420w, on any bios.

If i was you i would rma directly! Contact 3090oc@evga.com

Ok jag förstår. Men ser du, jag har använt denna OC bios och med sämre resultat än den normala bios. Den normala kan ibland komma upp i över 460W, men med OC under 450W.
Vad tycker du jag skal ta screenshot av - den normala eller OC.
Och vilka inställningar ska den stå på i Precion One?
Kan inte göra screenshot atm, då jag fortfarande fattas min CPU med vattenkylning, skulle komma onsdag eller torsdag den ny ram fredag om jag har tur, är därför på från min laptop. Tackar för din hjälp. 
Hur skickade du via UPS, jag har alltid bare använt PostNord när jag skulle skicka något... 
Skickar du kortet i original emballage eller?
Kan tyvärr inte skicka dig privat mail då jag inte är uppe i 10 posts än.
 

Tjena!

Spelar nog ingen roll vilken bios du fotar till dom, ta den värsta se till att pcie är hög så dom inte nekar dig. Du höjer volten och powerlimit till max sen kör du furmark och har gpuZ igång tryck på sensor i programet så ser du där resultaten. Du skapar konto på ups sen skriver du in som vanligt och lämnar in på nån butik nära dig som supportar ups paket. Jag tog dagen efter leverans eftersom det går snabbt och direkt utan mellanhänder.. jag var rädd att den skulle försvinna i posten det är ändå 25k du skickar. Postnord har också dagen efter leverans men jag litar inte på postnord faktiskt.

Jag skickade kortet i antistatisk påse och lindade in den med bubbelplast sen in i ett hård paket.

Jag heter samma på sweclockers om du vill skriva där.

Tonight I just got my rev1.0 3090 from the oc3090 email program. I'm showing bios 94.02.42.C0.02 when switched to the OC slider.
Max I've been able to pull is 453.4 watts.
GPU-Z says PrefCap Reason is "Pwr"
Also my 8-pin max draws are Pin1: 143w, Pin2: 147.2w, Pin3: 100.9w and PCIe Slot power max is 62.7w
 
So I'm guessing that it's still 8-Pin #3 holding me back but at the same time it's good to see that the PCIe draw is under control now. What gives EVGA? I thought you guys claimed to have the power draws balanced finally? Why is pin#3 still lacking compared to the first two pins? If we could just get that third pin to do it's job then this card would love to push closer to 500w.
 

Unbelievable.
GPU Chip Power is what is throttling you.
 
Check HWinfo64 (GPU-Z won't help you here) and expand all (ALL) of the power and wattage fields and have TDP% and TDP Normalized % showing on the screen.
I bet you $200 dollars that TDP Normalized is way over 110%.

I received a 2114 product code for my step up. Is that good or bad?

My revision card 1.0 didn't want to go higher than 463w on bios 94.02.42.c0.02 that precision x1 wants you to update after you install the card. It's bios for the v2 board with PCIe power fixed via special rma program. I was a little upset that it didn't hit 500w

Now here's the fun part I updated the bios via nvflash to version 94.02.42.80.27 and look what happened 😁😁😁

I am so happy!!🙏

Is this safe?
Any instructions on how to?

This is the difference from before in Time Spy just fast test not super tweaked. Maby it's not WOW results but it's still an improvement =)

Thank you bro.
I tried this. 
Here's my timespy. 
Thank you bro. 
 
And here's my gpuz. 

 
 

Wow hooow? You on water cooling or hybrid? You have 2000 points more but we have similar mhz that's awesome! I'm really glad it helped you! I hope it will help others too! Have a nice weekend broe!

Just got my new card with this replacement program.
BIOS on OC position is: 94.02.42.80.15 which is NOT resizable BAR compatible...
 
Which one should I apply ?
94.02.42.C0.02 OR 94.02.42.80.27
 
Serial starts with: 2112

First one is 500w bios from evgas special rma program, that didn't give me 500w but maby it gives you, the other one is the newest bios available and ut did the work for me. With that said try both and decide after maby 94.02.42.c0.02 does the work for you

Nooo it's a regular ftw3 ultra v1.0, no watercooling or hybrid. 
I can't help but to wonder why EVGA recommended that 94.02.42.80.27 should not be applied to v1.0 though.
What are your thoughts?

Wow you won the lottery man! Thats impressive! Can you send me your settings or post them here maby I'm missing something.

I dont know why they recommend the bios to be honest... maby it's a safety bios to ensure that the pcie doesn't draw more then it should. Because they can't guarantee the lottery. Just speculations

I see. 
My top result was achieved with +180/+1100; this was unstable in gaming, my DCS World 2.7 stable kept crashing. 
I have found that +140/+1000 is the most stable configuration in my card's case.
I am not sure whether my airflow configuration is optimal, but I can see that with an open case things run generally better.

Hey guys,

is there anything I can do do fix this myself without RMA? My card shows the same behaviour (max 107 to 109% PT of 119, regardless of settings) and I'm pretty much stuck at arount 440 - 450 Watts.

I've tried different BIOS, even the 3090 KingPin and it shows the same problem. Is this some sort of hardware error?
 
Thanks!

It is a hardware issue. There are some physical hardware hacks you can do (search google), but it would void warranty and may damage other components. If I remember correctly the "fix" I saw for it put the PCIE slot at close to 100 watts draw... So IMHO I would say that this isn't something that can be fixed without RMA... At least not properly fixed, a band aid at best...

Bummer - I've already applied a custom water cooling block and I don't really want to tear it apart now. Guess I'll have to live with limited power then ;)
 
Thanks for elaborating!

No problem. It is ultimately your choice whether you want to take advantage of the special RMA. I received my special RMA card and it is a night and day difference. I hit 500 Watts with no issue. The balance on pin 3 is still lower but PCIE draw has never gone over 66 watts. That was my main concern. My first card I believe was better silicon, but was severely held back by power. It also would hit close to 90 watts on PCIE. I can't hit as high of clocks on my new card but it is rock stable and scores higher in benchmarks. I also don't have to worry about possible motherboard issues with too much draw on the PCIE bus... so all in all I am happy I did it. But I didn't have to remove a water block and reinstall the air cooler. But I would have in a heart beat for the performance and stability I got from the replacement.

Which bios are you using to achieve 500w? I have a 3090 rma card and it won't do 500. With it set at 119% in px1 I never get above 107% in gpuz. Can only ever hit 465w or so.
