I stopped using X1 since I can't get voltage to work anyway.  Immediately get higher power usage with Afterburner and scores.  RAM clocks get less steady and fluctuate but I can still pull +1498 on the ram with +200 on the GPU.  I still cannot pull over 425w and my SP 8k score is 2k points too low.
 
Edit:  Tested via stepped score verification yesterday via 24 runs of Port Royal and 8 in Time Spy Extreme with a few validation runs of Superposition 8k.  

The irony here.



The term rank was created by JEDEC, the memory industry’s standards group, to distinguish between the number of memory banks on a module.

What you are referring to is DIMMS Per Channel (DPC)

Installing the beta vulkan driver gave me an extra 400 port royal points with no changes.
 
Also, picking your definition is a cute way to try to win an argument.  But keep trying :D
 
@EVGA:  Do you think a card working normally should idle at 155w with the PCIe idle at 44w?   

 
"Beta BIOS" ... is for those who wish to try OC with an increased Wattage limit - no guarantees

What's your point?  As I've posted before, I'm on the beta bios, running this beta driver.  I ran the WHQL driver previously and wanted to report the behavior here in both states.  I see data is not really looked at kindly here so I'll just stop like the previous poster had asked.
 
Rig:  3950x, 4x8 Patriot VS 4400 @3733 cl15, c8h (everything to this point under water), evga ftw3 ultra 3090 2014 serial made in Taiwan.
Fresh install of Win10x64 with all updates, clean driver install after updating the bios.  Clean power from 3x individual cables from the CM v3 1300w plat psu on the 1500va ups with double clean grounds.
OC'ing tested with both Afterburner (higher wattage, unstable clocking with ram/gpu) and X1 (much lower usual power usage but clocks behaved much more in line with expectation as and were more solid during testing if not lower). 
All of this, mind you, I cannot run TSE with the stock OC bios and no overclock without it crashing.
I've spent all weekend trying to verify a company didn't (language removed) me out of $1800 so sorry if I'm not in a super cheery mood because it's looking like that is the case.  I could have saved myself $300 to get this same level of performance and not run up my power bill at idle.

When I mentioned the number to support when talking yesterday about my failing card,  they said 2012 just means it was produced earlier. 

Ok I’ll explain for those that missed out: you are RMAing your cards for the wrong reasons, or talking to tech support about the issue wrong: extra performance not guaranteed blah blah blah, how about regular performance? These cards pull more than 75W (rated spec that it must meet) out pcie power at stock clocks at the out box 450 w 107% power target. That is a big issue, also a 100% valid RMA reason...also the reason people aren’t seeing the 500 watts is because the 3 8 pin power connectors are by default throttled down when pcie hits 75+watts. So actually you’re talking about the exact same issue but this makes sense to them, as a real problem not a “but mine doesn’t do extra stuff I want it to, boo hoo.” Edit: clarity

What I think that poster was mentioning is that 2012 or 2014 doesn't seem to mean what region it's made in but rather when, which would throw all of this Taiwan vs China stuff into question.

Do you have maximum performance selected in Nvidia control panel? Bet you do, and it keeps your clocks spun up to 1800mhz and your wattage above 100 in idle...turn it it optimal power and restart it if you want it to idle with less power consumption. Also don’t use a horribly optimized Ubisoft game to say this card can’t still put out the frames man c’mon...it can...test out some other ones.

Couldnt of said it better my self hahah, My card pulls 500w avg in most benches then I fire up Assassin's Creed Valhalla and my card pulls 320w max lol. This Oc bios is made for benchmarks and maybe a few games that actually are optimized for PC

Anyone running using the fan header that is built in? I'm wondering if thats a potential issue for me. I got a 140mm on it.

I think 430w Holding you back cause your low average clocks.
Another thing I think is the 3900x cause the pr bench is 1440p.
Try to oc your cpu a bit or your ram to see if you can improve your score.

I hit 14602 with the same cpu and my ram is slow AF at 3200 C16. I think his problem is hes using duel stacked ram with only 2 sticks. getting 2 more sticks will increase your score a crap ton

 
Are you sure you are not confusing dual stack and dual channel?  "Dual" stacked RAM has no bearing on speeds like that.  It is merely considered a bad choice for heat dissipation when installing modules side by side.
 
Now if you are talking about "dual" channel, then yes that can be an issue, but you can still achieve dual channel with just two sticks of RAM in the correct DIMM slots.

Nope im referring to the what I was saying. its been proven for YEARS that 4 sticks of single stack will be better then 2 sticks with duel stacks (16 or 32 gig sticks). Doesnt matter if its on AMD or intel you can see as high as 10% increase. Just do a simple google or youtube search and all the data will pop up lol

I don't know anybody who's been building computers more than a year that didn't know 4 8 gig sticks will be better than 2 16 gig sticks or even 4 16 gig sticks. I don't know how this is supposed to be like breaking news it was true is 2010./

I got some errands to run, hopefully can get this card off today, just know they are aware of ALL the gory details about my card, hahaha (i may or may not have started call with "look I need me a China card, these taiwan cards are not cutting it" obviously i stated i don't know that's for sure the reason but I did mention our conservations on here notchy, and pointed the finger of my missed-out-on-performance to the high 75 W pcie power draw throttling my 8 pins. (It should be able to only draw 65W and 145w from each pin to hit 500)  but they gonna have a sample which is roughly equivalent to all "non-functioning" XOC bios 20141 Taiwanese cards. Hopefully they just need a non-working sample and all this can get sorted.

Which ubisoft game have I been testing?  Like I said, this card is setup to run nothing but Port Royal at these clocks.  I think you think I'm someone else.  
I'm already in optimal.  Furmark has my pcie power hovering at 80w.

I'll Google that if you will Google the meaning of "Dual" and "Duel"
