It’s just weird because the target on my bios says 420 watt and a max of 450. I don’t understand why a higher watt would make a difference if it isn’t even getting to where it should be in the first place?

No idea.. I'm on the default xoc 500 watt bios but it hits a power limit after 424watts.. doenclocks the card from there.. max wattage seen is 450/460.

AHowes

If I play a game, call of duty for example, it’ll stay a consistent 2055 MHz overclock. It’s a weird thing to “complain” about, but idk, maybe I just need to reinstall superposition or something.

I have a 3080 FTW3 Ultra LHR and installed the Hybrid Kit.  I flashed the bios to the hybrid one, "4898_OC_ovu".
 
The hybrid kit has failed and EVGA is having me return it for a refund.  I'm trying to flash the bios back to "4897_OC_ovu.exe" but it tells me the firmware is up to date.
 
How do I resolve and flash the stock air-cooler bios back onto the card?
 
10G-P5-3897-KL
 
 

Should I try flashing the non-hybrid XOC BIOS to force a change and then try flashing back to non-hybrid stock again?
 
Attempting this gave the same result, the tool just states that the firmware is up to date.

FYI - I've added 3080 12GB BIOS flashes to go from FTW3/XC3 to their respective HYBRID models for those of you with HYBRID Kits.
 
I will add the stock BIOS override files for the FTW3/XC3 cards when I have them.
 
Edit - Added the FTW3 Ultra and XC3 Ultra default BIOS files as a download.

Not seeing any bios download links for 3090 FTW3 Ultra OC?

To try and drum up some support alongside me testing this competitors BIOS, I'd like to ask anyone browsing this topic with a 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB LHR to check this post https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3555755
 
Many of us are power draw capped at 400w, even with the 450w LHR BIOS EVGA released. Unfortunately, EVGA, both customer support and Jacob have gone totally radio silent on responding to queries about it.
 
It seems, however, that I may have stumbled upon a 430w LHR BIOS from MSI that actually allows this card to draw more than 400w, consistently, under heavy load. Power reporting figures are sadly broken in GPU-Z, but as you can see from my screenshot of my HX1000i power supply report of power in and power out, the GPU looks like it's drawing more power than it did on the EVGA BIOS.
 
30w isn't 50w, but when you're watercooling it can be the difference between maintaining over 2000mhz on the core and dipping below that under a heavy load. Plus, if EVGA would actually interact with owners of this card and do some testing, it looks positive for them being able to somewhat fix the power draw issues, or at least improve them a bit over 400w.
 
For the average person with a good cooling setup it shouldn't take having to flash a competitors BIOS on a FTW3 card of all things to use it as intended. I say intended because if EVGA did not want us trying to draw more than 400w on a FTW3 3080 10GB they would not have tried to release a 450w BIOS for the card.
 
PSA, I am honestly not trying to be confrontational or disrespectful towards EVGA staff, I can with honesty EVGA's customer service/handling of warranties are likely the best in the industry. But it would be good if someone could take a look at this and double check if the 450w BIOS released for the original 3080 10GB cards could be a bit faulty. I am happy if this BIOS is allowing the card to draw 430w, but I don't particularly like running another card manufacturers BIOS on my EVGA card.

Hey, I have a 3080 ftw3 ultra 10G-P5-3897-KL and didn't see this specific model's bios under the options. I saw 10G-P5-3898-KL but not my model. After I install the hybrid kit on my 10G-P5-3897-KL which is the correct bios I need to flash?

Hi, what is the difference between the ReBar and non Rebar vbios ? 
I have a 3080 XC3 Ultra with currently bios 94.02.42.C0.14, I was once asked by EVGA Precision X1 to update the firmware, since then I'm not able to control the third fan with other software like Afterburner and so with Windows 10 and 11 with different driver versin. I would like to flash the previous vbios (I don't recall the version) that enabled me to control all three fan of my card. I don't like using Precision X1 since the curve is a nightmare to work with unlike Afterburner :
Thanks you
