Anybody knows (or can confirm), that the 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra (12G-P5-3967-KR) suffering the same power issue?

will the 3080 ti FTW3 get XOC VBIOs to 500 watts?

will the 3080 ti FTW3 get XOC VBIOs to 500 watts?

Ditto, it has enough power supplied via 3 PCIe connectors and from slot to easily get to 500w, right now it bounces off BIOS Power limit.

I've just tried the 450w (+118%) BIOS for RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra and my card will never exceed 405w on full load, either playing games (SotTR, ACV, CP 2077) or benchmarking (3DMark Port Royale, Superposition 1080 Extreme, etc). Is there a way to push the card far enough to let it go all the way to 450w?

OC Are +180 between 1.000v and 1.056v (custom curve in AB), +1700Mhz on memory and stable. Temperatures are below 65C, 100% fan speed on stock cooler. When I look in GPU-Z, I PerfCap Pwr... Any help would be appreciated!!

It's a known issue, one of the PCi-E connectors is not a true 8 pin.

Anyone actually getting these 450W with this BIOS, the max I can see on 3080 FTW3 Hybrid is 400W with 3rd PCI-e only delivering 65-70W.
 
Based on this post, it's physical limitation of the 3rd pin design. But how I could see some people actually hitting 450 magic number, some clarification from EVGA would be very appreciated.

Jacob at EVGA just pointed me to where the new biosis were for the LHR cards and I was able to update mine. But yeah the most I’ve seen it draw is 414 watts so far.

It's the BIOS from October 2020. That's the Bios they provided way back then I use.

It should be more documented? I don't see so much thread about it.
