Hi. I also have the 1000w bios in ftw3 ultra and nothing is fried because 1.081v does not happen, he wants me to test it that nothing happens, so afraid, monitor the temperature and voila, I in port royal in 14700 air with the bios 1000w

[<font]Portroyal por aire 2100mhz a 1.037v 14688puntos, bios 1000w
 

Just the swearing part must go.

Just got my #2012 card RMAed, the series number of new card is told to be #2114. I am waiting for shipment and let's see if it works.

Last week I installed my FTW3 vertically by using GPU riser cable, and did the port royal testing. I found the power went over 500w constantly (highest I saw is 520w), vs 490w max when installed horizontally with XOC bios. I returned riser cable due to higher temperature, and now I am back to 475~489w range when doing port royal testing. The riser cable I used is Asus GPU riser cable. I am not sure why but thought it is worth mentioning in this thread. 

I have some questions about the 1000w BIOS for those who have used it.

I understand it voids ur warranty, but is there any evidence left behind if nothing breaks while using it?

I have read a number of posts from people who had reservations about it. What are the risks with this BIOS? What have you done to mitigate that risk? Did you have power draw issues with the stock and XOC BIOS, and does this BIOS allow you to get 500w/500w+ power draw? What’s the max power you have drawn? Has anyone had it actually blow a fuse or kill a card?

I would like to get to the max voltage, 1.1v or whatever, and max stable clock speed without clock and voltage fluctuation due to power limitations. If I could run 2100 or so without it bouncing around I would be very happy. I don’t even actually know my max stable clock speed because of how unreliable the power delivery is.

I would love to use the 1000w bios as well man, just like a lot of us would, but I am sticking with the 500w approved bios. It is just not worth it imo to risk damage, even if the risk of damage is minimal. Now if 2k means nothing to you and you are ok with voiding, then by all means, have a blast with it. Even if it dies you won't get nothing for it. I saw a strix 3090 that was dead on eBay sell for 1900.

Even you won't admit it how about you got the dreaded red light and still having illegal bios installed?  If you dont mind about the warranty for a little bit more power well buy the strix.

I'm staying with the original bios (hybrid 3090 FTW3 Ultra) when the 500 watt bios comes out of beta I will try it. My card preforms good enough without asking for trouble also 1000 Watt bios user's even if you don't care about $2000 it still very hard to purchase any RTX 3*** series cards.
 
 
 
 

What is the dreaded red light and why are you assuming he has it?

I suppose my card runs fine as is, I just wish the damn clock speed would stay where I set it. It usually only fluctuates 40-60 MHz, but it’s annoying, it’s not even due to thermals and it’s not hitting power limit so (Deleted Abbreviated Foul Language)  I appreciate the fact I have a 3090, but I’m definitely gonna think twice next time and see how their cards perform before I buy EVGA next time. This is actually the 2nd time I’ve had an issue with a “premium” card from EVGA, or third since I had two 980 Classi’s. I’ve also had issues with MSI and Asus too so I guess it’s a toss up no matter who you buy from. XFX doesn’t make Nvidia cards anymore, but I had issues with theirs too. And Sapphire, but that was ATI.

So far for me the Gigabyte cards seem to be the most reliable.

BIG NEWS (maybe) EVGA is working on a BIOS fix!
Guys I reached out to the EVGA support in regards of the pcie power draw again and here's what they said (german, so ask google for translation^^):
 
"vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort. 

Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt besteht keine Notwendigkeit für eine RMA. Sollte die Karte jedoch deutlich mehr als die von Ihnen genannten 90 Watt ziehen, würden wir zu einer Reklamation raten. 
Zudem arbeite wir bereits an einer BIOS-Version, die u.a. diese Problematik im Blick hat. 

Für weitere Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gern zur Verfügung. 

Freundliche Grüße
EVGA Support Team"
 
btw. I never said the card pulls 90w through the pcie slot, but anyways... EVGA is working on a BIOS fix!
 

Pretty sure I’ve seen posts about EVGA saying it’ll be fixed in a BIOS update since November or even October. Which maybe it can...but I’m in a “I’ll believe it when I see it” mindset.

Come on, EVGA. At least communicate to us in this thread if there will ever even be an update to this vBIOS. Not a single update since October. Ridiculous.

this is the 1000w bios after play 1 hour at bf 1 all the time boost at 2100mhz power slider at 52%
 

Max temp after 1hour at these Watts?
I know you are a hybrid guy now .
Im waiting my hybrid kit to come too

89W on pcie? No thank you!
