Got the xoc bios installed on my 3090 ti. (The correct one for the Gaming , I would have paid the extra for the Ultra but it was out of stock the day of purchase, don't think it matters tho) Boost lock now on 2040 instead of 1890. Was good enough to get it in the 15.5s in PR, old runs were high 15.4s still looks like 2175 is the limit for this one at room temperature. 2190 sustained seems to crash at any length. TS 22.7s . memory is lower 800, 850 will run but scores degrade, probably EC. Just for the curious ***Undervolt at 910mv (1995clk) will knock 100 watts right off the top, runs 302-340w with temperature in the low 50s and will PR 14280 , but MSFS will run nearly identical FPS at this setup compared to stock.

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

Nope, you can easily shove 300W through an 8 pin without it even getting beyond warm...let alone melting.  The 150W spec is hugely underrated.

FYI - Added the 516W XOC BIOS for the 3090 Ti FTW3 HYBRID card in the OP.

Is there any update on the availability of bioses for the RTX 3080 12GB cards, specifically the hybrid bios? All the requests for 3080 12GB bios don't seem to be getting any response. Are they not available? Is the card not popular so it's a low priority?

I got a 12G-P5-4877-KL 3080 FTW Ultra.  I am putting a full block with active backplate on it.  Would like to update bios to unlock additional options.  Can anyone confirm that this is proper BIOS upgrade?
"From non-HC LHR BIOS - to:
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 HC LHR (10G-P5-3899-KL)[ReBar]"

If not, @EVGA do you plan on BIOS upgrades for this unit?

No, that's a completely different card.  The 3080 10GB and 3080 12GB are different GPUs entirely. 
 
RTX 3080 12GB cards already have the full power limit BIOS flashed to the card from stock on both BIOS options.  Moreover, you don't need to flash to the HC version of the card, since the only thing it would do is update the part number of the card to say it's the HC version.  Unlike the HYBRID version, which uses a different fan and pump cooling option than the FTW3 (yes, I need to check on this one for you guys), the HC doesn't have any changes of that nature or unlocks something special by virtue of having better cooling.

If am understanding your answer correctly, there is no advantage to changing BIOS on this unit at all, as all that can be officially unlocked and allowed is already done so on the FTW3 Ultra - correct?

Hello all,
To EvgaTech_LeeM
I just received my ftw3080 10g-p5-3897-KR and want to install precision x1, but it's asking me to update firmware. It's not the newest release, but the one right before that. After googling why I have to firmware update to use it and seeing ftw3 3080 cards being broken and I'm now scared. I googled again and found this post, I'm not that computer savvy when it comes to OC which is not what I want to do at all. I just want to change the fan curve to start at lower and cool more on the higher end. After skimming some of this topic I'm not sure if this is mainly for LHR cards or what. I saw at the bottom the default bios for my card. I just need a little clarification if I need to disable the fast reboot and everything else that was mentioned before let precision X1 update my firmware, and if this is the case it shouldn't ask users to update not knowing what to do because this topic post is over my head. Thanks again 

It's not a bad idea to disable fast boot before installing a new card.  The bigger concern with fast boot is if you are installing a new card of the same part number, or a different RTX 3080 10GB than you previously had in the system.
 
Otherwise, I would close or disable any programs that may be using the graphics card, such as other monitoring or overclocking software.  Then go ahead and run the program and update the firmware.
