pulling 467W WOW!!!  WE HAVE THE POWER LOL 

Any news on 3090? People seem to be dodging the question. :)

I asked Jacob directly on Twitter, but didn't hear anything back for around 24 hours now.

And now that I've read about the Ampere +TSMC news...I'm getting the feeling I won't be able to use Step Up for a 20GB 3080. Rumors had put such a launch in December, but if they're shifting the entire process to TSMC (they are), I can't imagine those cards will be available until maybe in February/March. Well beyond a Step Up window for my current card.
 
So now the question is simply: 2 HDMI ports (Strix) vs possible Step Up to a 480W Samsung-based 3090 (EVGA). 
 
And either way...will I be looking to sell my current card to get a superior TSMC variant? Cooler, quieter cards with possibly lower power draw.

Don't be so sure that the 20GB and the 7nm are going to be the same upgrade. We could easily see the 20GB 8nm in Dec and a 3080/3090 Super next year with 7nm and memory that actually clocks to 21.5Gbps. The other possibility is that the 7nm card is a new Titan or A series workstation and not related to the current cards. 

Exactly, I have no idea what to expect from these next cards. It will definitely be interesting.

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

I guess we should be grateful Asus went with 450w which put pressure on EVGA to match or beat it.
 
Man my patience is waning quick seeing all these excited posts from people playing with new GPU's but I keep telling myself the longer I have to wait the closer we are to Hybrid/Kingpin... my wallet is getting goosebumps tho...

How the heck do you guys keep your cards < 70C? Max fan speed? Sorry if noob question..im a noob :-/

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.

Yep tried all of that and still no luck. I am picking up a 1000W power supply this arvo so maybe my 750W is holding it back? I doubt it, but who knows.

Sweet Baby Jesus!!!

ATTN:  VOLTAGE SLIDER
 
There are several posts in this thread where people are having trouble maintaining higher clocks or drawing higher power.  In addition to actually overclocking the core, you need to (X1) increase the core voltage % slider to 100% or (Afterburner) *enable in settings* and increase core voltage slider to 100%.  This will set the max vcore higher.  On my 2080 Ti it has the following steps:
 
0% = 1.068v MAX
25% = 1.075v MAX
50% = 1.081v MAX
75% = 1.087v MAX
100% = 1.093v MAX
 
You can test this for yourself on the 3080 by applying a peak in the voltage-frequency graph (locking voltage), then seeing if it will hit that voltage as you adjust the slider.  Typically you will get better stability at higher voltages, higher power will allow you to maintain higher voltages, thus allowing you to run higher clocks.  You may need to lock in at higher voltages to be stable at high clocks.  If you don't crank up this slider, you will never get the better results some people are posting (12.3K Port Royal and up).

And at a cheaper price and better customer service. EVGA for life!
