In terms of the 500W "fix" - Won't flashing rev 1.0 cards to 94.02.42.80.27 change the subsystem ID? Is this fully revertable if we flash back to 94.02.42.C0.02?

Same here,
 
what's your first 4 serial digits? Mine is 2012 black lips and it clocks to the moon, very good bin.
I dont think I will ask for a replacement since the card pulls 500w (490W) evenly (78W-139W-142W-130W)

2014 on mine.

It hasn't really been put through it's paces yet. I haven't quite finished the new build, so it's in an older machine that doesn't have enough horsepower to make the card break a sweat. The 3090 is light years better than the twin 950's I was running previously tho, so they're semi retired until I finish the new machine.

I'm hoping I won't have any issues with it.

PCIe power is fine, i think 57 Watt. Its rev 1.0 board wo ok

Card is ftw3 ultra

Is the bios selector in the second position?
 
"Newer EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA cards will be shipping with the XOC BIOS already loaded on the secondary position. The below BIOS should ONLY be installed if your card DID NOT already have it applied."

Anybody hear of any of these coming through with the 500w bios from the factory?  Thx!

Yes but it's not that true...you need to see some pages back, either way i tell you here. RMA Program, Rev 1.0 Cards on the first position (normal) comes with VBIOS ending in C0.02 PT= 107% limited to 450W, and in second position (oc) comes with VBIOS ending in C0.05 PT=119% limited to 467W to protect too much draw (above 160W) from the PCIe cables (it's our best guess), to get full 500W+ you need to flash VBIOS 94.02.42.80.27


All the Best, Sergio!

So in short there is some limitation on the C0.05 bios, that 80.27 removes and even though flashing a 1.0 card would change subsystem ID, this doesn't cause any (known) problems?
 
Also, sorry to be so verbose, but just confirming then that if we flash back to C0.05 bios (on 1.0 board) the subsystem ID will be reverted back to correct value? So this is a non-permanent change? I've heard mixed reports otherwise, so just confirming.
 
Thanks.

Did you actually see performance benefit (e.g. higher average boost clock) from 500W or just increased power draw?

If my serial starts with 2114 , I don't have to RMA?

I sent my v0.1 3090 back last week. Hoping the card chugs through EVGA's system asap. Ideally I'd want it back for this weekend.
 
This is my third card being sent back, so the new one will be my FOURTH 3090 FTW3 Ultra. That is madness IMHO. Definitely makes me pause for my next card. 
 
How long does it typically take in the USA to get a card back once EVGA's RMA system receives it?

I've been out of the loop for a while. Wasn't there supposed to be an update to fix the card explosion issue/fan bonkers issue that happened with the New World game? Did that update ever materialize or is EVGA still playing dumb over it and trying to silently sweep it under the rug?

Does anyone know how the 8-pin connectors align with naming in GPU-Z? For example, if the card is viewed in the typical scenario (installed horizontally in PCIE slot) then moving from left to right are those #1, #2, #3, or reverse?
