> Hitting the "The display adapter firmware is up to date." issue -- the card stays as an ftw3 ultra after trying to flash the hybrid bios..
 
$ 4898_OC_450W_ovu.exe --version gives me this:
 
BIOS Versions of NVIDIA display adapters present in system:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (10DE,2216,3842,4897) S:00,B:0A,D:00,F:00 94.02.71.40.A9
 

 
 
@EVGATech_LeeM Could you please have a look at this issue with my LHR 3030 FTW3 Ultra? I thought I see someone hitting the same problem but I couldn't find it any more. Anyway, the LHR hybrid bios doesn't flash, complaining "The display adapter firmware is up to date.", although the BIOSs to flash the card back does go through, even if I'm on the same bios version.
 
Thanks!

3080 ftw3 xoc bios is 450w,
3090 ftw3 xoc bios is 500w
I wonder why the 3080ti ftw3 has no xoc bios and only 450w max. (=3080)
Even though the 3080ti performs as good as the 3090,(Totally different from the 3080)
why should the 3080 and 3080ti bios just go similar?
i think 3080ti need the 500w bios just like 3090. (They are essentially the same category)

Msmouse - I'm having the same issue. Evga Lee posted their team was able to reproduce the error we are having and should have a fix soon. He said hopefully it would be out this past Monday. I too am anxiously waiting for bios to work.

Thank you!

Hi. Are there any updates when the bios update might come out for us with the firmware up to date issue?

I was hoping for help from anybody, with two BIOS questions regarding my EVGA 3080 TI FTW3 Ultra.

1st) I’m currently on Graphics VBIOS: 94.02.71.00.B0 (was installed when I got the card and launched PX1 the first time) currently it says there is a VBIOS update. Card is switched to OC Mode. My question is, can anybody expand on the fixes, improvements, or what the new bios update is supposed to address?

2nd) I’ve read that in OC Mode this card should be able to reach 450w. Understandably some games don’t tax the card that hard and I read that if you want to confirm the card to hit that, to try something like Furmark which I did. Is it within spec to only hit 441.4w , and only see my Pwr Consumption to be 110.3% even though I slid my Power Target all the way to 113%?

I can’t upload a screenshot with the upload files to server button option, it just keeps spinning and spinning after I select a photo unfortunately.

Thanks @EVGATech_LeeM for all your hard work answering everyone’s questions and helping us out!

And Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise.!

I’m not sure what’s up with that BIOS update, but my 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra didn’t update upon installing PX1 1.2.3 like was indicated, so you aren’t alone there. Also, the max power the slider goes to is 112.5%. Not sure why you can’t get it higher. And, I’ve only seen 450W just a couple of times, and only when using Kombustor. Otherwise, GPU-intensive games and benchmarks get the power up around 440W like you’ve seen. If you’re using the stock air cooler, those extra 7W may be going to the fans and RGB. I put a water block on mine, so no fans or lights for the card to power.

Getting a 3080 ti xc3 (12G-P5-3953-KR) later this week.  I have concerns from forum threads about power delivery issues capping at 300w for this card, when it should be around 350w.  Is there a beta bios for this card addressing this?

This issue is being addressed, and there should be a new BIOS coming for the XC3. You can read all about it here:

Looking for a 500w 3080 Ti FTW3 bios that doesn't threaten to nuke connector #2.

Sorry if I was confusing , I am able to get my slider to I think 113%. I purchased my card ~7/17, set it up in a new PC build on ~7/27 , upon first booting up and the DL of PX1 it said there was an firmware update. Card went red blinking lights for a couple seconds and I’ve been on VBIOS: 94.02.71.00.B0 ever since. Noticed there was another update , just surprised there’s no place I can find what the new VBIOS update brings in terms of features or fixes to educate me, before I choose to update.

Another question I have from observation:

I was sort of surprised to see the power draw from “8 pin# 3” to be so much lower than 1-2. I wonder if this is some type of bios programming because a lot of users might do 2 cables configuration and it wants to split the #3 cable 50/50 with Pcie power ?
Example config; single 8 pin to dual (6+2) + (6+2) and 8 pin to (6+2). Two total cables.

I myself have three dedicated links, thinking it would be better for some reason - So I’m using 3x 8 pin to (6+2). Just curious of why the card might not allow for even distribution amongst 3 dedicated power cables vs 2 or if I did 3 cables for nothing 😂

My GPU “max” in Furmark says:

Pcie slot Power: 54.9w
8pin #1 power: 147.3w
8pin #2 power: 166.6w
8pin #3 power: 72.7w
