Is it normal that I can play FC5 @ 2205Mhz but Metro Exodus Enhanced Version I top out @ 2175Mhz. FC5 is pure rasterization and metro exodus is Ray traced and DLSS. Does using Ray Tracing lower the potential Max OC for a given game? I was getting pissed that Metro was CTD every now and then so I kept lowering my MSI Afterburner settings to +145C +900M and just gamed for nearly 40 minutes and all was perfect, where as before @ 2205 it would CTD within minutes. FC5 could care less, I can play @ 2230 and have no issues. Keep in mind, my temps never exceed 39c

Of all the games I play, Metro EE is by far the most intolerant of overclocks and I'm not the only one that has found this to be true.  Completely normal to end up lowering your core offset to keep it stable.  That game just beats on the GPU compared to other games.  It has the highest power demand of any of the games I play too.  

awesome thank you for the reply!

Whoa!!
 EVGA - Products - EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 24G-P5-4985-KR, 24GB GDDR6X, iCX3, ARGB LED, Backplate, Free eLeash - 24G-P5-4985-KR

Holy.. now that hurts.
 
I'm really starting to think EVGA are liquidating.

Or the 40 series is just REALLY close?

I can't even look at that price. Quite a punch in the gut. Would gladly pay that price for a liquid cooled version, but if prices are coming down this hard and this fast, might have to just wait for 4000 series to launch and pick up a 3000 series liquid cooled on the low, or a b-stock liquid cooled 3090 Ti/KP when they are available.

@Sajin will the powerlink 42u or whatever it's called hep with OC stability on the FTW3 Ultra 3090 Ti? My OC seems pretty stable but certain games are acting weird with intermittent freezes etc. so I'm wondering if that's because I have only 2x 8-pin connectors plugged in to the card since I'm using the 'old' 12-pin EVGA cable.
 
On that note, does EVGA now have a dedicated 16-pin cable similar to their 12-pin variant?

The 42u didn’t help me get a higher oc, so no. No dedicated 16-pin yet.

Im crying just looking at the current price tag of 1899

Lmao I hadn't looked at the price in a few weeks. The card went out of stock and looks like it came back in again.

Ouch.  Maybe I should learn to hold off on the trigger now.  GPU shortage got me itchy.   

Thing about the KPE 3090ti is you know it was a limited run. You never know if EVGA has 2 or 20 left to move before it goes bye bye.
 
If they wanted them to move faster, they need to drop the PSU and drop the price to $1699.99. The whole bundle thing really turns some buyers off. I needed a PSU, so it was basically a, "cool...ok" for me. Or they have just a few left and will stick with the bundle format till they're gone.
 
Potential buyers who really want a KPE 3090ti are left in that headspace of potentially being left holding the bag when they go out of stock for the last time....or this is me reliving the nightmare of waiting on the KPE 1080ti for a price drop and it suddenly disappearing to never re-appear again.
 
 

on sale again this weekend,

Yea I'm not sure if buying a PSU right now makes sense either. Very likely new models will be rolling out with 40 series. But then again, if an 8pin adapter will work, might be a chance to get a good one for cheap, just with a bit more cable clutter to deal with.

MSI already has one , 1300w with a 12 pin , https://www.tomshardware....pcie-5-power-connector

Is there an XOC BIOS link for the 3090 Ti Kingpin?

If EVGA made their own PSU like this one and bundled it with KPE, it would have been much better + they need to add that power convertor being sold alone for almost 60 bucks to already the highest product they offer, KPE... just saying!

Can someone please explain to me why even with the OC dip switch set to LN2 on the Kingpin 3090 Ti Hybrid, I still can't go above 1.1 V and 108% max power?

set the switch , reboot , then reopen px1 and your settings should update. You have to reboot between bios selection changes. Cheers

kraade
And then 1.1 is probably all it will do , if you flip both of the NVDD switches you might get 1.14,
If you want <1.1479v you will need the classified tool.

true good call.  the voltage slider doesn't really do anything in PX1 AFAIK.  you have to use the jumpers or the classified tool

I've tried to reach Vincent on Instagram but I don't think he goes thru his messages, any other way to get the xoc for 3090ti KP?
