Same here : flashed the xoc bios for rtx 3080 lhr, i can push the power limit to 118% but nothing change in use.
Come on Evga, update this bios please !
Listen to the community, we want an updated bios to unleash full powaaaaa !

I was able to flash to the 4897 bios provided by OP.  Power limit 118% and saw over 410watts at times.

What are you using to gauge power draw? Keep in mind that it was discovered by another forum member that the software sensor reporting is about 30W shy of what’s actually being drawn. They used a clamp meter to verify that. I believe it was a 3080 Ti that was used for testing, but the PCB for both the 3080 Ti and 3080 are similar enough that I imagine what’s being reported sensor-wise via software is the same.

So, you got the display working again? What was the issue? Also, 410W sounds about right. That’s what I initially observed after flashing to the same BIOS for the same model card, but I’ve seen as high as 420W.

I ran furmark with gpuz for about one hour, results where the same with oc bios @ 105% or new bios @118% : freq, temps, fps, power draw...
And impossible to push gpu freq more than +110 without crash, with any bios.
I'm surprised that i achieve to get better results by flashing a bios from another brand and model, but to risky for daily use !
That's why i think it's bios related, an update can do that in my opinion (not an expert)
(And sorry for my poor english, i'm french !)
Edit : after all, it is even a beast ! But i like to push to the ultimate limit !

The first release of cards are locked and no bios will help you , only way is to shunt mod it which voids your warranty , i believe now new cards are being shipped without this issue (revisions) , how much more power you will squeeze thats another question
There is a youtuber frame chasers which explains this more in detail

That has a ring of truth to it - I was one of the lucky early 3090 FTW3 Ultra recipients, and the bios doesn't appear to make a lick of difference to max wattage under load...
 

that helped me thanks

Issue was not being able to flash the xoc bios posted by Jacob in the other thread.  I then tired the xoc bios posted in this thread and it work.

Glad you got it working. Now, if Nvidia would stop messing with their drivers… I’ve actually seen a small performance decrease in certain games. I was seeing as high as 125 FPS using the Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark when I first got my 3080 Ti back in June, and now I’m averaging 118. Still a huge increase over the 2080 Ti I was using, but I digress. Again, glad you got it worked out.

Thanks.  Not sure what the difference is between to the two bios but I'm also glad it worked out.  I haven't experienced any performance decreases but what I have noticed is a more stable boost clock  and not jumping between bins.
