Re: Flashing FTW3 with Kingpin BIOS - possible? Is there any OC benefit?

No, and don't do it as you will more than likely brick your card.

You got the worst silicon bin I've seen so far, flashing your card won't fix that.

FTW3 card will not work with KPE BIOS because different VRM design.
If you have question, please post in public forum. I do not reply PMs, so all in community can benefit the answer.

Do you have 2 separate PCIe cables running from PSU to FTW3 ? Did you run DDU & do a clean Nvidia driver install ? Have more than 1 sound driver loaded ? Have you tested with your CPU & RAM OC removed ? Make sure your BCLK is not above what it should be - or you are OC the PCIe bus - this can cause instability What Temps are you seeing ? What room temp & case - fan setup ? You could try replacing the TIM. Inspect the Factory TIM application - if it does Not cover the entire GPU die, then reapplying might help

CoolGTX, can you explain the more than one sound driver thing you mentioned above?
Intel Core i7-9800x | EVGA X299 Dark| EVGA RTX 2080ti FTW3 Ultra HydroCopper | 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum | EKWB Liquid Cooled Loop | Phanteks Enthoo Primo SE | EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2

Unless he's running it at 80c+ and throttling it down from 2100+ to 2000mhz or whatever clocks he's getting, I think it's more likely to be bad silicon lottery.

Having multiple sound drivers loaded - Has been know to cause Stability issues So if you load say the MB sound driver, the Nvidia sound driver or a separate Sound card sound driver - your system may be unstable due to Conflicts

MonarchX I recently went with RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 (3-fan version). It doesn't OC all that well. Max power, max voltage, and +100Mhz on the core (no VRAM OC) is not stable. It forces the card to boost to about 2055Mhz, but reviews show boost OC of 2100-2150Mhz as stable...
Test 1 by running your benchmark with No OC (+ MHz) on the Card - Max MHz ? Test 2 - lower the Voltage slider to 95% with No OC (+ MHz) on the Card - Max MHz ? What Value does the Auto tune feature show as the highest stable OC + MHz on your GPU 1) Stock X1 settings ? 2) 1 with sliders set - if it will complete the Auto run

It's probably down clocking a bit because of temps if I had to guess but it could also be drivers as CoolGTX stated. Too many variables to assume it's a bad silicon.

Better than mine at 2040MHz Boost and only 2055 MHz Max Overclocking. And mine is the HC Model Card. We just got poor silicon lottery winnings and nothing we can do about it. "Flashing FTW3 with Kingpin BIOS - possible? Is there any OC benefit?" Only if you want a Brick to hold the Door Open

Not sure what that has to do with me plus I've only ran benches months back @ stock settings, anyways lets focus back for the OP.
