Indeed, and that's at just +100 core, stock vRAM speed, 461W draw with Power Limit, VOp & VRel all showing as perfcap reasons lol

I downloaded it and executed it but I failed to update the VBIOS, don't I just click to execute it?
 
 

the Only keystroke you should press is the "y" key to execute the script

 Curious what the total power draw is on my pc i picked this up going to try it tonight

So practically, you'd only need to download the OC version of the new BIOS if you want to keep the normal bios as "NORMAL 1.0" and not this version latest version, right?

Can anyone confirm if this BIOS is working on the non-ultra model of EVGA 3080 FTW3?

That's what I'm doing, left my Normal as the Normal BIOS the card shipped with, flashed the OC BIOS to the 450W OC BIOS with the tool.

Waiting for this bios to become 'official' before I d/l it.  I assume this gets pushed through EVGA X1 then?

Firmware updates get thru precision, never seen bios updates thru there. I would guess even the final bio will be a downloadable exe like here.

we are getting a new 3090 ftw3 beta bios next week!!!
 
edit: let me rephrase "We have an XOC in testing right now, no promises just yet but will update next week."
 
man oh man if we get a 480 bios i will be stoked. 520 would be supreme though but im unsure they want to go that high as it may compete with the kingpin
