Each 8-pin can handle 200W no problem (as long as they are dedicated rails, no splitters).. PCIe is actually rated up to 75W but these 3090Ti's seem to all be capping the power usage around 10W-20W. This BIOS appears to allow up to 290W per rail and 20W max from the PCIe slot (290Wx3+20W=890W, guess). Not surprised the wires are getting warm. I'm not sure if you'd want this one for a daily driver... benchmark only IMO. 
 
 

Does this 890W 3090 ti bios disable or mess up any of the display port or HDMI outputs on the FTW3 Ultra?

Evga still got the hotline number/email for a 3090 ftw3 ultra card that has bad power line balancing??

Mine thinks it's a 3080 card. 446watts max in Port Royal default run or undercloked or max 1 1v.

Pwr limit hits and hold at 424watts+.

Frustrated and about to hit the eject button.

Water cooled ek front and back and usual temp is 32-34. 35c tops and mem max of 40c.

I have to clock the card at 2050mhz at .981v just to keep it from hitting a voltage limit in PR.

Wasn't trying to daily it at 668w. Just doing some testing. At least me system didn't burst into flames.

Yes, the second displayport won't work.

Unfortunately the 3090 FTW3 cards are known to be caca. The 3090 Ti FTW3 is a beast re-design. Runs cool and has no power issues.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what to do and stressing out. Just live with it or go forward and blow thet stuoid $160 for the warranty extension so I can enter the step up process. Would cost me alot since I lose on the water blocks as well as prob close to $600.. wondering if it's worth it.. and then wait for EK 3090ti block release.

Hitting 0 power limits durring gaming/benches would be nice.. and the large geatsink would easily get me by while I wait.

With the 40 series on the horizon I think I would wait for that. A 3090 or 3090 Ti is soon to be old news.

Otherwise can you sell the block and just grab a Black Ti? Might be worth just put right selling the card and blocks and getting a black if that’s what you’re looking for. Don’t pay the extra for the Ultra like me, it’s a wasted $200 for sure.

Nothing like pulling 628w in Metro Exodus benchmark...
 

 

what bios are you using?
