Made a few more passes this AM before work after flashing ASUS Xoc bios. My card needs more power. Unfortunately using asus xoc bios means the classified tool won't work. But I still gained a bit of performance thanks to the higher power limit. Card hit peaks of 540w in port royal and sustained runs of 625w+ on timespy extreme. All while still at stock voltage.

16188 on Port Royal
+120/+1425 offsets for core and mem respectively.

Timespy 24019. I need to switch back to my KS and really push the CPU score higher. But over 24000 on GPU score is strong!
+105/+1300 offsets (didn't try going higher with memory yet as had to leave for work) https://www.3dmark.com/spy/29430358.

Definitely try flashing xoc bios while we wait for the evga one with voltage control. If your card is like mine it's absolutely choking on the 516w power limit.

Nice score. 👍

dailying the hybrid? that's a lot of work to put the stock cooler back on
 
when i take the cooler off, it's going cold. i wonder if adding 3 fans on the rad will really matter? i bet you gained more from the kpx than the fans tbh

No not dailying hybrid yet. Just don't have time to go get any LN2 and I like to push things as far with stock cooling as possible first. Was really easy tbh. Took me maybe 30 minutes to swap it all out. And 27 of that was disassembling and reassembling the aio.

I did flash the asus xoc bios. However the classified tool won't function when using it.

you're much faster than me. takes me an hour to tear down and reassemble the stock cooler. i want to run the stock cards in SLI before i tear anything down too.
 
did you try to push voltage before you flashed the strix bios? curious how some folks seem to be hitting PL and wanted to know if classified would "unlock" a higher limit, or if the limit isn't actually 520w or whatever and the card just won't do more than that with under 1000mV at stock nvvdd

Have you looked at gpuz to see what your power limit is? Like you have the power slider in precision/afterburner that goes to 8%, right? Because that blows my mind, too.

I didn't try pushing voltage with any of the 3 stock bios. They all are the same as far as I can tell. 516w limits. If you hook up the voltage read point and do the math off of it up youll be able to calculate actual power draw. The oled isn't very accurate. My oled constantly says my card is pulling 510-530w in port royal. But I can see that my clocks are dropping (and not due to gpu boost) when running stock bios.

Not all cards pull equal power. Take both my 3090s for instance. My original launch day 3090 KP pulls well in excess of 500w and even when gaming is always hitting off the 520w power limit. Itll pull around 550w in timespy. My 2nd card (Jan 2021) barely pulls 440w at the same clocks. My launch card scales better with voltage and cold but is a "worse" card to daily drive as it runs 1-2C hotter and always drops clocks unless I'm using the xoc bios. It has everything to do with leakage and asic quality.

Link to bios?
 
Yes, the OLED and Fiirmware/Bios controlling it is definitely broken. It constantly states my clock is 1950 during a rung when I know Im pulling 2120Mhz-2150Mhz at the very least on any runs.

Are you running precision while benching? Some things on the oled only work while precision is running.

I've noticed that happen occasionally as well. Obviously with asus bios it doesn't allow me to adjust the oled anymore. But I don't really use the oled for anything but temps and frequencies. Like all software, it's just simply not accurate. I wouldn't worry about it. Doesn't affect performance and any power draw figures it tells you are more of a ballpark figure.

Are the fans on the EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING, set up to be push or pull?

I am currently installing this on the front of the 5000D since my 360 AIO rad is my exhaust. (also can I leave the ARGB adapter unplugged without making any of the fans not work proper?)

Wrong thread but they're push. You can tell the direction of any fan by looking at which side the fan body connects to the motor - that's the direction the air is moving.

And yes, rgb doesn't matter to how well the fans move air

No, I don't I close PX1 because it robs resources, FPS and hurts the score a bit. I always close PX1 or MSI afterburning when benching. So, you're telling me there is no real standalone controller driving this OLED when it comes to updating the clock? PWR, temp, fan speed and other parameters seems to change (not really accurate as mylittlepwny2 has pointed out). Something must be driving these parameters. That's why I think it's the firmware of whatever is driving this OLED (has to be some micro controller like a M0+ or M4/M33 driving it.
