Hey,
@EVGATech_LeeM - so I flashed the 4898 and it worked on my 3080 FTW3 Ultra LHR (10G-P5-3897-KL) - if I want to flash it back to the air version (4897 ovu) it won't let me saying that the driver is up to date. Any ideas?

Can you post a screenshot or video of the error?  You'll need to get your post count to 10 before you can, however, or just spread out parts of the link (anti-spam measure).

Hey - ok hopefully this works:

When running "4897_Normal_ovu.exe" it just says the below after typing "y" to continue, screen goes black and nothing is installed/changed. I installed the 94.02.71.40.DA, and pretty stupidly the 94.02.71.40.DB version so I'd need to overwrite both to stock/OC:

Press any key to exit...

Tried the basic restarting - rechecking that fastboot and CSM were off (which they were).

Tried again this morning in the hopes that "magic" would happen. Same issue. It doesn't flash the Normal or OC BIOS as I think it doesn't want to go "back" a version, despite using the "flashback" version.
 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello EVGATech_LeeM,
Since the Fixed LHR ftw3 ultra to Hybrid worked.
You think you will have time to post a new "4898_Normal_450W_ovu.exe"
Thanks

The "The display adapter firmware is up to date." issue for LHR 3080 users, is there any update, OP?  Thanks

When trying to convert to a hybrid by flashing a BIOS, I mean.

Sorry, I'm pushing our team again on this issue.  Hope to hear back in a day or two.

Thank you EVGATech_LeeM, glad to know this is still on your radar. 

For those of you with the 3080 FTW3-type LHR cards, give this BIOS a try:  https://www.evga.com/EVGA/GeneralDownloading.aspx?file=4898.zip
 
Instructions:
•      Download the 4898.zip file.
•      Extract the files to a location on disk.
•      Make sure no programs are running in the background, and double click 4898_Normal_ovu.exe
•      Press "Y" to begin the update.
•      DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS!
•      After update, restart PC.
•      For OC bios(4898_OC_ovu.exe), you must toggle bios switch to the position of OC and do the same process as above.
 
If successful, I'll add it to the main post.

Hi. Worked fine for me thanks!

Just got lucky and my 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming is coming soon. Hear that temps are crazy so will be planning on buying the Hybrid Kit . I am new to all this and am wondering, do I have to upgrade my Bios? What exactly does the Bios have to do with the cooling?

I'd have to guess the bios updater is being confused by which card you want to flash, and it would be a lot simpler if you only had one in at a time and flashed them one at a time.

 
Finally got around to disconnecting one card to try this and you were spot-on - the Precision X tool for updating the BIOS worked completely different when only one card was plugged in; It prompted with a console warning that the screen would go black for up to six seconds as it did before, but with only one card plugged in it only went black for half a second before proceeding to a second prompt confirming the update.  Did this once with each card separately powered/plugged in and it worked beautifully.  I've now got REBAR successfully enabled thanks to your advice!!!

thanks for the links!

@EVGATech_LeeM That latest 4898 worked for my 10G-P5-3897-KL, converted my 3080 FTW3 Ultra LHR to a FTW3 Ultra Hybrid. Thank you!!!
