Omg just got this from the PM team.....
Hello Martin,
I do apologize for any inconveniences. I checked with my RMA team and it appears there was a mixup when processing your RMA. It was indeed supposed to be the revised model to address the power draw concerns. I've gone ahead and set up another RMA and will make sure the correct one is shipped out. Once again I do apologize for any inconveniences.
Regards
Well I advise you all to check your "Special RMAS"

Well I just got the step 1 email on another advanced RMA. (I didn't have to pay for this one this was through Jacob) gotta say though if this ends up not being a revised card I'm just gonna get a full refund and send the card back.
What a cluster....
And now I've got the second step email
it seams I will need to make twiter account to reach him out when I got mine (if that ever happens) best of luck but I guess you will be OK now :-)

When cards get refurbed they are given new serial numbers. So having a 21xx serial number does not mean you will get a new or revised card.
3090OC card should be revised cards not refurb with OLD PCB... that is main reason of that program in first place... at leat that is how I take it (I could be wrong on that)
Yes they should be the revised cards but some people here have gotten refurbished cards with a 21xx serial. I was just stating that a 21xx serial card is not necessarily mean it is a revised card. The cards that people send back from an RMA are refurbished and given new serial numbers. So any card that EVGA has refurbished in the year 2021 will start with 21xx serial number.

COOL man... btw how to check them out till we got them? I was in impresion that this PN 24G-P5-3982-B2 means revised card unless someone on EVGA RMA make and misstake

hopefully.... but be aware that I am in process of RMA card 2112... wish you best of luck
What happened with your 2112???
power balancing issues PCIE 80W+ rest is OK... even performance is OK but dont want to have it on my mobo and wait if all will be OK in long term.
Grrrrr..... I thought 2112/2114 were the new design (China/Taïwan manufactured) that fixed the power balancing finally....
Serial number starting in 21 just means it was manufactured or refurbished in 2021. The ones that start with 20 were manufactured or refurbished in 2020.

Just o be exact my card brand NEW sealed box with SN 2112 (china) which is now in RMA process... I guess that EVGA is using OLD PCB till they last. Not every user is looking for those parameters and thus it is cheper for them RMA few cards than do full recall or switch factory (just my guess). no bad blood towards EVGA yet :-)

Mixed results with the replacement card. First off, the power concerns on the PCIe slot is fixed. I was never able to get it above 60w, whereas the old card peaked at 86w. At least I won't blow up my motherboard now.
Now for the interesting things.
It comes with the 450/420w bios on Normal, like you'd expect. 94.02.412.C0.05 However that BIOS allows up to 119% power limit on Normal.. which is... odd. Also, there are no more options on the normal bios for silent fans. They default to 30% lowest on Auto... AND on reboot, the 3rd fan is 100% maxed. The only way to correct that is to load Precision X and push it to Auto. Every reboot the 3rd fan is maxed out. Somewhat annoying.
The OC bios comes with a 500/420w max and 119%. 94.02.42.C0.02. Same fan issues as described above.
As for performance differences. I've been able to push the clocks slightly higher, but the power draw overall is lower than before. This is OK, if its able to perform better at lower power. I'm not shooting for max power draw, but best performance with the power given it. Highest %of TDP I saw was 111.
I wasn't able to beat my high score on Port Royal, falling short 250 points. I was able to whoop my old TimeSpy score by a substantial amount, reaching just over 19000.
I suspect there's a better bios out there for this new revision. When I loaded Precision X, it updated the firmware immediately. I don't want to just load any odd or incorrect one. To those that have been using these on air, have you experienced the same fan issues with the revision card? Are the bios versions even correct? I'd like to have silent options for the fans on Normal, AND I don't want to have to start Precision X just to bring that 3rd fan under control after every reboot. It SHOULD just follow what is default in the bios.
Sideway to this. Tested mining quickly since I was curious if mem temps were better. They are. I suspect the pad contact is better on this card. Same settings as prior I'm around 4-6c lower on the temps with only 50-60% fan. Its so much quieter now. I feel much more comfortable having it mine in the background with low power usage and waste heat

Wow... Sorry to hear about badasses experience... I had such a smooth RMA process compared to some here... I am grateful. Hopefully it was just a mix up. My 2114 card came brand new sealed in retail box, also a blacked lipped card. I have been able to hit close to 510w pretty consistently. Highest PCIE draw at 66.6w. Beat my old port royal score by over 500 points on a much lower oc. Temps are as good if not a bit better than my old card. badass, is your card the ultra variant or the standard FTW3? Not that it should make a difference, just curious.

Its the Ultra variant. They are trying to make it right and have owned up to making a mistake so provided this last card is the right one I'll be happy.

Nope I also got an email about that directly from EVGA and he said that was literally just an internal number they were using.

Thanks! I don't understand why the type of cooler would matter... ?
It matters because they have to have the revised PCB with that cooler available. I've been following this thread for a while and it has never been stated that the hybrid had been added to the special rma. It will eventually be added as Jacob stated that the program would expand to include all FTW3 models (Hybrid, HC). I've asked Jacob a few times when it is expected for them to add the hybrid to the special rma and have had no response.
Ah, I didn't know they did. Makes sense now. Thank you.

3DMark is kinda borked right now. What are your stable clocks? The power draw being reported as lower is my experience too. My revision card was giving me scores of just shy of 15.6k and now it's struggling to break 15k since the last update with the same overclock. These revision cards can do about 2100mhz on air if the ambient isn't too high where as my first card had difficulty going over 1965mhz. Under water my revision will do 2250mhz under the right conditions through Port Royal.

My 2114 replacement card tops out at 465-470W on the R-bar XOC VBIOS from PX1 (94.02.42.C0.02). 66W on the slot, 150 W on 8-pin #1 & #2, 95W on 8-pin #3. That's better than my original that topped out at 430W and pulled 80+ W on the slot, but still a little disappointing that something in EVGA's PCB design causes the performance to vary this much from one card to the next. The silicon lottery is one thing, having a PCB lottery on top of that is annoying.
I'm curious if anyone with a 2114 that is imbalanced on 8-pin #3 has found a successful workaround. I've seen a few claims that an alternate VBIOS might fix it. Could there be any other approaches?

Received my replacement card, 2114 24G-P5-3987-KR - I was under the assumption the card I would be receiving was going to be the revised card so that I wouldn't suffer a catastrophic failure that I'm assuming is now only a ticking time bomb. 3090 Ultra FTW3, not sure if that's the revised card or not. Seems to be the same part number as the one that went pop. Power draw tops out at 107% on the OC bios.

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/231617/231617If your card's a rev 1.0, try bios 94.02.42.80.27. Mine does what you describe (465w at most) on c0.02 bios, is a 2114 card, but it is NOT a replacement. It's my original. This bios allows me around ~500-515w max and still seems to keep pcie in the mid 60s. You could also try the kp 520w bios if you're willing to live with somewhat broken fans or are water cooled. *edit: you'll still see the power imbalance on the three power connectors, but the current drawn from each will be higher. I'd be interested to know how your card performs in scores/clocks with either/both bios watercooled or stock.. EVGA offered me an rma for my current card, but I'm still not sure whether mine is actually a fixed unit or not.

I saw in the 2100 max range. Depending on the test, I could push it +130 to +160 on the core. 500-1000 on the mem. Temps were good at 100% fan. (obviously only for benching) Those clocks were putting between 420w and 475w. I never was able to push power higher, but I'm at 1440p anyway on an i9-9900k@5.0.ghz. I'll try more later to see if I can push it for stability.
None of your passes linked are anywhere close to 2100. One isn't even hitting 2000 on average. Sounds like you've got something limiting you. Also, listing a "+XXX core" number is pretty useless. Your passes are 2032, 2006, and 1960 respectively. Sounds pretty normal for air to be fair. HWG90

Seems to be the same part number as the one that went pop. Power draw tops out at 107% on the OC bios.
They are all the same part number. You have to look at the PCIe retention tab to see if you are Rev 0.1 (OG) or 1.0 (revision). You could also remove the heatsink and check the voltage controller. You can also run GPUz and see which bios your card shipped with to further identify which version you have.

Well I just received my "new" 3090 , its not new in retail packaging and it has the older bios on its label of 94:02:26:48:15 , I won't be able to install it until this weekend but this one better have the power issue fixed! It does however have the 4 poscaps and 2 smaller set of caps in the middle at the back. i'll check what revision the voltage regulator is this weekend.
Also on the pcb it has rev 0.1 dont wanna get mad until ive tested it but this isnt looking good people. This is a "special" RMA for the load balancing issues! RED LIPS too, ****.
Well it looks like OLD card acording to BIOS reference https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/226310/evga-rtx3090-24576-201008-1 (unles they replaced VRM controler, also probably SN starting with 20)
Yesterday some user claimed that EVGA would not dare and here we go... :-/
As for my approval still not approved...
Yes, unless your card fails within 30 days of purchase you will receive a refurbed card. The red cooler obviously doesnt matter, its the cooler.

No these are not supposed to be the regular refurb cards. These are supposed to be revision cards which is exactly what EVGA told me when I complained to them. If you are part of the SPECIAL RMA program you should NOT be receiving a red lipped refurb card. EVGA's words not mine.

They are also not supposed to be revision 0.1 cards that you can check by looking to the right of the pcie connector, if you've been given a 0.1 card they gave u the wrong one (if you emailed the special RMA program) the ones with the revised power draw are rev 1.0 I believe.

Does anyone have a fix for my RMA card dropping down to 210MHz on idle?just received a special RMA 3090. Ran DDU, and installed the card. Test right off the bat with he bios it came with, worked good and power draw balance was was good, but total draw peaked at 418W for the first stress test. Saved BIOS copy Then after, I opened Precision X1, and it auto-updated the card. I restarted for good measure. Now my card gets similar power balance/clocks, 450W peak with power target slider cranked, but worse score, because it keep dropping below 1800MHz, all the way down to 210MHz (possibly 0), when idle... *sigh* anyone know why? Next step is to maybe flash another BIOS? either the OP XOC Bios (even though it says I should already have it) or maybe the Kingpin Bios? badass1982
Omg just got this from the PM team.....
Hello Martin,
I do apologize for any inconveniences. I checked with my RMA team and it appears there was a mixup when processing your RMA. It was indeed supposed to be the revised model to address the power draw concerns. I've gone ahead and set up another RMA and will make sure the correct one is shipped out. Once again I do apologize for any inconveniences.
Regards
Well I advise you all to check your "Special RMAS"
I got the exact thing happen. Original Card: Had a 3090 with the power balance issues (pci-e would reach 81w). That one got Special RMA'd, via standard RMA. I ship first, THey send replacement 3 days after receiving. Special Standard RMA Card #1: 2114 serial, New box/card... performed almost exactly the same as my first card. Emailed EVGA the next day after recieving the card, and they told me the same thing. That it looks like they mistakenly sent the wrong one. They then initiated an Advance RMA to replace it (cool!) Special Advance RMA Card #2: 2114 serial, New box/card... I really like that they upgraded to an Advance RMA, to fix their mistake. They sent the replacement first, and I send my back in the same packaging box with prepaid label inside. Just got this card in yesterday, and gonna puit it through its tests today So far, *I haven't minded too much, this whole process. Yes, its annoying as hell, BUT, I give EVGA credit for their good, fairly headache-free warranty. They are fixing their mess up. ANOTHER BUT, I also have a back up GPU that I can swap in so i wasn't down at all, and I also live like 8 minutes away from the EVGA Brea location, so anything I send/Receive, is next day. [EDIT] All of the above was on the OC bios switch

Yeah I got everything but the tracking number yesterday (I was hoping I'd get lucky and they'd ship the card out Friday) unfortunately I must have missed the cut off point so now I have to wait until Monday! boo lol

Card dropping to 210MHz on idle is normal. If you never want to save power, set the Nvidia Power Plan in the Nvidia Control Panel to "Prefer Max Performance" and it will sit at 1800Mhz at the desktop/idle (don't forget to restart for that setting to take effect). If your card is dropping below 1800MHz during gaming/benchmarks - make sure Vsync/Gsync as well as any framerate limiters are off. If the card is getting high 80C on the core, then the card is downclocking due to heat - take the case side panel off and make sure all the fans are spinning (if so, add a house fan or adjust your case airflow). If your card isn't hitting high 80C and it's downclocking below 1800MHz, contact EVGA to RMA.

Ahhhhh, Thank you! that's what it was... Have a lot on my mind, completely forgot to change that since it resets with DDU, silly me. Temps are fine, and power balance is fine with this card! The RMA card only reaches about 450w on OC switch, with power target slider cranked up. and the XOC bios's in the OP say it's not a compatible card... I think it is, but Is this normal? Is this when some of you have used NVFlash for the TechPowerUp Bios'/KINGPIN Bios Also, still trying to figure out why my benchmark score got way worse after the Precision X1 update...

Power draw won't be max all the time depending on the resolution and what game or benchmark. 4K games and benchmarks will likely draw more power than gaming at 1440P and 1080P - try Time Spy Extreme (it's a 4K benchmark) or Furmark without AA at a very high resolution. EVGA Jacob already stated, in the OP, that those VBIOSs are NOT for the new revision of 3090s. You'll either need to use NVFlash to flash the VBIOS that you saved, or contact EVGA support for the correct executable for your new revision card. Can't tell you why your scores may be lower - new drivers and new 3DMark versions all have an effect - other folks have said that they have lower scores with the new 3DMark update. Do a clean boot and only load up the NVCP and Steam/Futuremark services and that should help if you're number chasing. Also, be sure to exit out of PX1 before running a benchmark - it's a known points leech.
