Can I flash the stock bios back now? I tested the OC one, then flashed the "normal" one.
But normal one has still the 118% PT.
My hardware slider is set to right (guess thats stock?)
 
With slider set to left, I get around 10% lower score in timespy...
With this bios overall im getting some % lower score.

Would really appreciate more info on this just so it's clear.  

-What is the difference from this new "Normal" vbios and the one currently on the card in the "Normal" switch position?
Does this also have an altered power limit? In which case, what is the difference between this and the new "OC" position vbios? 

-Is there any reason a person couldn't just leave the original vbios in place, and only change the vbios in the OC position? 

-Could this process be reverted in the same manner easily? 

Thank you!

The difference between Normal/OC vbios switches is fan curves. The OC switch uses a more aggressive fan curve and doesn't shut off.
With the new vbios, they changed the power limit from 400W to 450W. What I did was simply replace the OC vbios with the new one as it didn't really make sense to have a switch that only changed fan curves. So if I switch back to normal, I would have a 400W limit with standard fan curve.
 
Hope this helps!

Now I can sleep well lol. But even better when I get to order the damn card

I can still hit the 450w limit, need more power, give us the full 525w that triple 8 pin and cpu slot can give us.

Ain’t that the truth. Although, I might just go complete 3090 waterblock this time around.

EVGA!!!!! After BIOS update. Stick it to Asus.

I still haven't even found the point where this thing crashes yet. This is getting a little ridiculous.

This is what makes EVGA one of the best AIBs. Most others would have ignored their customers but EVGA listened and delivered a new bios, good job guys keep it up! 

Kind of an odd statement. If they had just made the power limit what was promised to begin with they wouldn't have needed to do this. Surely doing it right from the start is better.

Lol, the promised one was 420w, they’re giving us an even better one, let’s be grateful.

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?

Yep, the sliders update to allow 118% max power but the card runs at exactly the same power levels as before. just bouncing around 390-400W dring a run.
 
I am back to the original bios and am getting better scores at lower overclocks now so it's not all bad. My overclocking efforts have been stunted, but the real world daily performance of the card is actually better. So it's not all bad :)

That’s weird, after update mine does climb past 430-440ish. I did notice though in order to push that watts I had to overclock. Are you just maxing the wattage sliders and nothing else? If so, try overclocking the core amd memory and you will definitely see the card sucking more power.
