Finally got my 500watts with my 2 month old Evga 3090 ftw3 Ultra!!



Xoc bios that claims 500watts never did more then 460 watts for me. Early powerlimit after 424watts downclocking the card.



Grew a pair and took baby steps and tried the Kingpin 3090 520watt bios..



Now I get more then 500watts haha.. 516watts max so far just playing around. So awesome thet a bios can fix it as I was thinking I needed to hard mod the card to fix the issue.



Now so far my power lines look like this:



Pcie = 70 watts

Pin 1 = 170 watts

Pin 2 = 166 watts

Pin 3 = 107 watts

Don't know if I'll be brave enough to try the kp 1000watt bios. Atleast I finally got what I payed for.
 
EDIT: Short lived i guess... Card locks up alot durring 3dmark benches. Just seems off.. no idea if i need to reinstall the drivers with the new different card bios or what. Most likely going back to the original bios tomorrow.

Sir, obviously im going FCWB as soon as someone comes out with a damn block, but is this BIOS something I can flash to my 3090Ti FTW3 Gaming and get actual measurable performance now and just adjust fans to 100% for the time being?  Ive been really wanting to try this bios out but wanted to ask an actual user of it first to see their thoughts?!

I wouldnt even use this bios with a waterblock as its way over specs, your pcie connectors will get hot as they are specified for 150 watts max per 8 Pin and with this bios, each 8 Pin will easily draw more than 200 Watts, so for long term those connectors could possibly melt and damage your card. Simply don't do it

Yes.

wow that is amazing.
 
Are you using all 3x 8-pin cables to get this? I'm using the perF12 cable so only 2x 8-pin cables are connected. Is EVGA even making a proper 16-pin cable with 3x 8-pin on the PSU side?

damn..
 
 

Damn is right. This FTW3 is awesome. I just played metro exodus pc enhanced edition for an hour with the card pulling 600+ watts. Max temp on gpu was 74c. Max temp on vram 74c. Max temp on gpu hot spot 84c. Max watts pulled 668w! 
 
The 16-pin adapter cable was getting pretty warm.

Yes, the card comes with an adapter that allows you to convert three 8-pins into a 16-pin. There is no cable that connects directly to the psu that uses 3 slots on the psu yet.

Is there an XOC BIOS yet for 24G-P5-4988-KR (3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING)? Just ordered it as my place in the queue came up, so hoping the XOC BIOS gets released for it by the time the card arrives.

Will be available next week.

Any update on the release of the XOC BIOS?

Well I got it last night after being dicked around by UPS so I basically installed the card and then went to bed 😂
 
Haven't been able to do much testing but idle temps are around 28c with the fans at 1000rpm (barely audible), compared to about 30c of my 3090. Quickly ran Time Spy just to compare it to my 3090 and I broke 20k for my first time ever. GPU never went above 55c with fans at ~1450rpm (compared to about 60c at similar RPM for the 3090). They seem quieter than the fans that came with the 3090, I would say they are an improvement so far. Here's the Time Spy comparison to the highest score I was ever able to get with my 3090 hybrid, https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/28098694/spy/18858316#. This is with +75 core +500 mem.
