Helllo, i have a question i just flast my 3080 ti bios and it went smoothly. In EVGA Precision x i see that there is a update for a bios. If i update will it flash my bios back to the old bios or update the hybrid bios? I want to make sure before i update it cause i dont want to reflash again.

Hey,
@EVGATech_LeeM

If, for some reason the bios update fails (stuck at update, or fast boot enabled, or csm enabled) and I get a black screen at boot, is it possible to fix it by plugging the monitor at the motherboard onboard graphics and reflashing it in windows? Or maybe the display driver won't appear anymore to perform the reflash? I'm asking this because I have a 3080 XC3 and I have just one bios, if anything goes wrong (like an unlucky power surge), one would have to RMA the card, and that's a long process, so if there is a way to fix it by booting with integrated graphics it would be awesome, because right now I'm kind of hesitant in flashing it and something going wrong. I already have CSM and fast boot disabled, but still scared to flash it, so many people had problems in the past with this process.
 
Thanks!

I mean, it depends on how badly the flash went.  If you still have picture and can boot into Windows, you're probably fine and might just be having a driver issue.  If it's completely bricked, then it's RMA time.  Short of that (like no display, but the card appears to be working), you can try to force flash it with some command line arguments. 

Hey @EVGATech_LeeM,

Thanks for the fast response, but you didn't quite answer exactly what I asked which is my main concern. In the case of a failed vbios update for any reason where you get no display output, can I use the integrated graphics on my motherboard to boot and try to reflash the card? Or for example, if someone forgets to disable CSM and flashes the vbios and don't get picture, can't they just use another gpu or the igpu (if available) to boot and disable it? or it doesn't work like that?

Thank you.

Using a different GPU or the iGPU to boot into BIOS and disable CSM would be the preferred method, for sure.  It's a bit more challenging to flash the vBIOS of the card if you boot in using the iGPU because the motherboard might disable the primary PCIe slot, which would make it undiscoverable when trying to flash it.

Ok so can't update bios with these files on 3080 TI FTW3 Ultra. There is no option on my MSI bios for fast boot and the option is off in windows. This is an X570 MB and I am running in UEFI. But still vbios will not update. Exec runs but bios does not update. Should also point out that I was able to flash a 450 watt vbios to a 3080 earlier this year without issue. Running as administrator as well. Any ideas?

I got the OC bios installed but my power limit will not go past 109%, which is 406w.  Using a LHR 3080 FTW3 Ultra.  Is there a fix to bump it up to 450w?

Use the Galax 1000w bios and set the limit to 47%

Duckduckgo is failing me, you know where I can find it?

That shows for 3080 TI, mine is just 3080 10GB LHR

You sure you flashed the bios correctly then? Cuz when I had a 3080 I flashed the bios incorrectly and my slider stopped at 109
