If I want to flash back to stock BIOS for the normal profile can someone let me know which one it is?
 
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=NVIDIA&manufacturer=EVGA&model=RTX+3080&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=
 
The .88 the the OC and the .87 is the Normal for the XOC Beta Bioses, but I'm not sure if the .70 or .9C is the stock normal BIOS, which is the only one I want to flash back to. 
 
Since I can't find anywhere on this thread a direct download for the stock bioses, this appears to be the only place I can find them
 
I figured it would be easy to test by seeing if the fans are spinning when I updated.  It's the .70 bios for normal, .9C for  OC if anyone else wants to flash back to stock. 
 

I really hope someone here rom EVGA can tell us what is the original bios is

Normal bios https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/225304/evga-rtx3080-10240-200904
 
OC Bios https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/224961/evga-rtx3080-10240-200906 

 Thank you now how do I FLASH IT LOL.. Is in ROM FORMAT??

Gratzi, I ended up doing it manually then thought I was causing BSOD's on wake, turns out its the new nvidia driver...  
 
Always fun troubleshooting, first rolling back to XOC bios, then DDU and previous driver.  
 
Kosher now though!

Follo the instructions page 1 at overclock.net 3080 club.

The Original OC BIOS that comes stock with the card pegged out at 420W if I remember correctly.  That's why the XOC BIOS even exists, people wanted the full 450W that the likes of the Strix card has.  I still want a 525W BIOS cuz that's how much power the card can draw from it's plugs plus the PCIe slots, but I doubt we'll ever get that :-P At least not as an official thing from eVGA anyway.

It was said to be 420W, was actually 400W and people were upset so they released the 450W.

People haven't shared their bios. You'll have to ask whoever has the card to upload both bios via GPU-Z

I just realized that I'm Pepega lol. Both the FTW3 model and the FTW3 ULTRA model are exactly the same. The only difference is factory overclock out of box. If you do manual OC, then they are exactly the same cards. So no need really for non-ULTRA bios.

However, can you install the FTW3 ULTRA OC Bios (downloadable on page 1 of this thread) on the FTW3 ? Is it recommended?

I have done so and the card does draw 450W 👌

Should I re-install the Normal BIOS? Or is there an OC Bios for non-ULTRA cards? (Does my question make sense?)

You need to download NVFlash, which is the same tool from the exe that EVGA provided on the XOC Bios:
 
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvflash-download-for-windows.html
 
Then put the .ROM in the same folder, with an elevated command prompt type nvflash <bios name> or in an elevated powershell type .\nvflash.exe <bios name>

I have questions  :
 
1) Are both the FTW3 model and the FTW3 ULTRA model are exactly the same ? The only difference is factory overclock out of box ? If you do manual OC, then they are exactly the same cards. Is this statement true ?
 
2) My EVGA 3080 FTW3 being in a closed case and only air cooling, would it be smarter to not have the 450W power limit so that temps don't go too high ? Is 450W expected only for Water Cooling and massive cases with lots of fans ?
 
3) I have flashed only the OC BIOS for 3080 FTW3. Does that mean that if I slide the switch from OC to Normal on the card itself, the original Normal bios will kick in with original power limit ?

Thank you for answering my questions.

So I just checked myself and indeed, i get different power limit when I switch from Normal to OC on the card.

OC switch :
 


 
 
Normal switch :



Since the only difference iirc between OC and Normal switch is the fan curve (more agressive on OC) then that means that now, i can also switch between the power limit, from 400W max to 450W max. Very interesting.
