Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing actual gameplay fps differences with the new 450w oc bios versus the previous oc bios. Does it help improve frames by 2 or 10 or 15. It makes a difference to if it's worth doing it not. I don't have a card but the information would be valuable to when I'm able to get one in 2025 at some point.

No matter what I do with this bios, my card still seems to peg itself at 400W. Max power, max voltage, overclocked or not. 400W is all she will do.

Did you power cycle your computer?

No, DP doesn't have the bandwidth that HDMI 2.1 does. For anything above 4K 120, monitors that offer this require the color bit depth to be reduced, dropping image quality to compensate for the bandwidth limitations of DP.

I should have been more specific, with DP being more or less equivalent to a HDMI 2.1 port up to 4K@120Hz with HDR (where the spec maxes out). Wouldn't this be enough, or does the extra 24Hz of a 144Hz display matter that much? Also, a 3080 wouldn't be hitting the refresh rate limits of these types of monitors anyways, so is this even something to worry about (120Hz vs. 144Hz)?

Just curious. At the end of the day, it isn't a bad problem to have. I'm still trying to get my hands on my 3080 (9/17 9:07AM for me).

Any way we can get the actual bios rom files?

yes you can flash it with there EXE then save it with NVFLASH 

I gained 200 Port Royal points with the beta bios and no other changes. The card drew 448 watts and gpuz still reports power limit as what is throttling but now it is striped rather than constant limit. I love this card.

This is great news. Thank you EVGA. Now please release a 500w+ for 3090 FTW. (And let me buy one. lol) Great work guys!

Here's a comparison on my setup, stock vs beta BIOS. I kept the offsets the same for each BIOS and maxed out the power/voltage limit for each. Clock was stable at 2114 MHz average compared to 2088 MHz previously. Results look promising and temperatures are looking good (all fans maxed out for these runs). Will see if I can try to overclock it a bit more and keep it stable.
 
Core clock offset: +190
Mem clock offset: +1150

So, what about the temperatures under humanly acceptable fan speeds? Does the air cooler hold up or we need at least the Hybrid Kit? 

Depends on your case and fan setup, I got fractal define r5 which has sound deadening lining inside the case and I can't hear this card at all over my case fans, I have it set to ramp up fans to hundred % as it gets to 65c but it never does and I have power and voltage maxed out with a good oc
