so i turned rebar on and it didnt really make any difference on port royal.  I am starting to think 15k wont be doable with my card.  Maybe my card is not that good.
 
Thoughts??

Oh Okay. I was going over some benchmark scores online and I see that you are correct.  Actually my card seems to be above average from scores people are getting.  Just not holy grail like you said.

ReBar will make a difference if it's really forced on. Try forcing it globally. I had to do that on one machine.

How do you force Rebar on? Through Nvidia Inspector?

I have received a rev 1.0 board thanks to New World.  I started seeing a power draw limit ~450W while benchmarking.

I'm noticing that on TechPowerUp's download page, the BIOS that came on the replacement card is listed under:
FTW3 ULTRA V2
 
The BIOS I'm seeing recommended here (94.02.42.80.27) is for:
FTW3 ULTRA
 
Are there concerns crossing the streams and using the rev 0.1 BIOS on a 1.0 board?

maybe @jacob knows the answer to above questions

So I just got the updated PCB 1.0 revision. It’s having a difficult time overclocking. Is this due to the bios they have on there? I can barely hit +900 memory clock and +160 core clock. After that it crashes. My .1 card performed better.

 
No, probably just silicon lottery.

So, got the 1.0, flahsed the bios and now im getting 15227 on port royale, although on port royal i dont get the 500w...

How did you hit the 500 watts? Did you flash the old bios onto this card? Mine only hits around 430. It's actually worse than my .1 card.

The bios are available in the EVGA GeForce 30 Series HYBRID/XOC/Default BIOS Thread.

Just thought I'd pop back in here to mention how my 4th , yes 4th EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra just died. Via a remote session i attempt to install the drivers and apparently it cant find any compatible hardware , no display on any of my monitors and the ONLY way i can see my desktop is through a remote session.
 
Card has been under water since install and hasn't gone above 60c. Pissed doesn't even begin to cover it. 4 (soon to be 5) if i have to RMA it 1200+ dollar cards is a joke.

Of note, you are posting this in the XOC Beta BIOS thread. If you are using this Beta XOC BIOS on all of your failed cards, you might want to consider a different BIOS next time with a lower power limit. Does a lower power limit really make a significant difference for whatever application you are using it for?

So I've skimmed the first half of this thread and read all of the second half. A lot to take in.
 
I've got a 2114 b-stock card on water now with the 94.02.42.80.27 bios and rev 0.1 board. It's been a good card so far, seems to clock decently. 14845 on Port Royal with 5° water. With power maxed stays at around 420-430 watts with spikes as high as 445. Pulls 74 at the slot as reported in GPU-Z, so over spec as others have pointed out. But I'm ok with that.
 
So all this is fine but I recently added capacity to my cooling with the intent to run the full 500 or 520 watt bios. I'm wondering if I should just be happy as it is or if it's actually a ticking time bomb anyway.
 
I have 3 other ftw3 ultras at my disposal. I could bench each one on air and see which one clocks highest and allows the most power draw, then swap the blocks.
 
Does anybody know anything yet about the 2110 cards? What does that indicate? The other cards I have are as follows:
 
2114 rev 0.1 purchased 02/2021 from retail store
2110 rev 1.0 purchased 09/2021 from EVGA
2114 rev 1.0 purchased 11/2021 from retail store

I was kind of thinking this myself. It seems unlikely that 4 cards die from EVGA. My guess...something else in the system is making this a bigger problem. Maybe it's because you are using water cooling and think you can push it super hard or maybe the PSU or mobo is causing an issue. 4 cards is A LOT. I would start checking elsewhere in your system to be honest...don't just keep putting video cards in there and breaking them. I know it's easy to blame EVGA and their card and I know it's frustrating that your very expensive GPU is dying but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the GPU's fault. 

I am having problems getting this bios flashed. I have a FTW3 Ultra part # 3987-KR. Every time I download the XOC Ultra bios on normal or OC it says “no display adapter”. So I tried to download the stock bios for the Ultra it to says “No display adapters” Anyone got a fix for this ? Please don’t roast me if this has been solved this thread is really long.

Yep - make sure you downloaded the proper VBIOS flash, as this thread is for the rev 0.1 3090 FTW card and not the newer rev 1.0 cards (double check your card's part number to match it up): https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-30-Series-HYBRIDXOCDefault-BIOS-Thread-m3407542.aspx 

The newer board 3090 will allow the power slider to 119% ? mine is stuck at 107%

Yeah except I hadn't actually overclocked them or overvolted them yet so nope.
