With what software do you undervolt ?

Could I get a quick yes or no on this?

If I roll back from the XOC BIOS from this thread to the "Normal" BIOS also located in this thread, will it bring back the original OC switch BIOS?

I installed the XOC BIOS on the OC side of the switch. The stock "normal" side is still there.

I appreciate any answers in this.

Due to many users request, have a new BETA BIOS that increases the maximum Power Target. This BIOS is only intended for the extreme overclocking user and does not have any other changes. Please note the following:
 

• This update will increase the power consumption while overclocking, and is recommended you have adequate cooling and power (850w+ Gold minimum) when using this.
• EVGA does not guarantee any performance increase or overclock while using this BIOS update.

 
Any other questions or concerns will be answered in this forum thread only. Please post below your results and feedback!
 
 
BIOS Instructions (Windows Installation):

• Download the correct .zip file below for your graphics card below.
• Extract the files to a location on disk.
• Make sure no programs are running in the background, and double click Update.exe
• Press "Y" to begin the update.
• DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS!
• After update, restart PC.

 
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3

• EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA – BIOS 1 (Normal) |BIOS 2 (OC)
• EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 – BIOS 1 (Normal) |BIOS 2 (OC)

NOTE: There are 2 BIOS's, one is for the BIOS when switched to the normal stock position, the other if switched to the OC position

 
When are these going to be finialized?

Hi,
 
Finally I could grab one FTW3 Ultra, but I had bad luck, I've found a "lazy" GPU. It performs well in synthetic testing (0,875v, 1950MHz ->  15000+ 3DMardk, 15000+ Superposition), but in real world games, it performs not so well. Horizon Zero Dawn benchmark, i.e., only got 67 average FPS. People with same card and similar undervolt can reach 74+ FPS.
 
I tried pure OC (+130, +1000 Memory) but results are similar, and beyond that, benchmark crashes. If someone could post their HZD benchmark result for this card, I'd really appreciate it.
 
At least, with undervolt, card runs silent and fresh (under 63º) while benchmarking.
 
My rig:
 
Asus Strix Z-490H
2x8 Gb Hyperx 3600 with XMP-I profile
CoolerMaster AV1200 Platinum PSU

 
Try a DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). I ran into this as well with a few games but benchmarks were fine. Did DDU and fixed those issues

Safe to swap from OC to Normal bios while PC is running or do I need to power off before I change between the two?

It won't apply until you reboot. Not sure about just flipping it with the power on and running, but I probably wouldn't suggest it just to be safe. 

Installed OC bios. Passed port royal with +115/900. Many games are crashing on this settings, so I found +105 is stable for most games except GTA V and metro. For GTA +90 is stable and for Metro +75. Waiting for watercool heatkiller, hope this helps make it stable everywhere with +120/135

Try dropping your memory clock down, GD6X is finnicky and can lead to instability at a core clock you should probably be stable at. Try in the 600 range first, and increase core clock until it's unstable. 

Even with 0 on memory can't pass anything on 120 core, Metro is still crashing on +90. Funny thing is that Metro is not consuming even 400w of power. Seems like I lost in silicon lottery)) Tried undervolting, 1935 @ 0.962v, 1980 @ 1v - extremely bad, so I went to overclocking instead. Really hoping waterblock will change it, and I could clock higher.

I can't go higher then +85 on core. I crash in warzone. My memory is +200. I just randomly put in 200. +1000 on memory is like 3 fps No?
