I have been pushing my FTW3 Ultra and I seem to have hit the ceiling on core of +230.  Temps are in the mid 50's on air (nice cold\dry desert here) I am using the XOC bios and I am hitting 445-450W draw no prob.  It feels like there is still more juice in there :)  What are good Kingpin OC's?  I feel like I finally got a golden wafer after 20 yr. drought.
 
Thanks EVGA!

    Mid 50s on a +230 core overclock?
    What's your voltage?
    How are you stressing the card? (I've had some OCs successfully pass Time Spy and Port Royal and crash in under 2 minutes in Metro Exodus)

    Same here...I can overclock up to +150 to the Core and get great results in synthetic benchmarks but when I play games it eventually crashes. I dialed back my core overclock from +150 in increments of 10Mhz and tested (+140/130/120/110), with great Timespy results but eventually it will crash when loading up a game, while in a game's menu or even in a live gaming session. Applying +100 to the Core is the most I can lock in on my card, and game extensively for days with no issues. Without a OC my graphic card Timespy scores are (17,000-17,200), and with the stable +100 Core/+500 Memory OC my graphic card scores 17,900-18,100. (3080 XC3 Ultra)

    -I Know I think I hit the Silicon lottery with this 3080 FTW3 Ultra!
     
    -XOC bios at 118% power
    -voltage untouched
    -GPUZ shows 440W power draw at max (superposition bench "4k optimized" = 16487 score)
    -Lian Li TU-150 -FANS- 2 bottom Skythe slim 120mm(1800rpm) blowing up at the card , 1 rear 120mm(3000rpm), 1 front 120mm(1800 rpm).
     
    The case has some great airflow...the 3000rpm Noctua on the rear dumps heat out really well.  The 2 slim Skythe fans underneath blow cool air up to the card constantly.

    Looks good, but make sure you try some actual games. Synthetic benchmarks aren't that good for stability tests (unless your OC is extremely unstable). Cyberpunk, Control, and Metro Exodus are particularly good at detecting unstable OCs.
