Will the next set of cards come with this BIOS already installed? 

.. didnt see it said 3080 instead of 3090 :(
 

GPU-Z now reports 450W Power Limit!! RIP Asus Strix OC...
 

 
Thanks Jacob! You continue to prove why EVGA has the best customer service in the market.

Make sure your voltage slider is activated and all the way up.  0% should allow 1.050v max iirc, and 100% should allow 1.093v max.

 
Yeah I thought of that, tried it, no change... score is a bit low because of having GPUz open during the run, and I'm at all stock for the sake of apples to apples comparison to my stock runs from when I first got the card.

I can't tell much from looking at the idle GPU-Z and X1 readings.  You're probably just at the top of the stock voltage-frequency curve now, need to apply an overclock.

You might need to do some overclocking. The GPU is going to have voltage limits on it's boosting I think. So even if your voltage goes up a bit the gpu is going to stop boosting. Also you will always have a bottleneck somewhere vrel is pretty common.

Start overclocking it by like 25 per benchmark on the gpu and maybe 200 on the memory and just keep going up until you lose stability.

Dabbled with it a bit, got this, and notice the PerfCap Reason is none:
 

 
Only seeing ~431W draw, got a score increase, and the OC was using OC scan (then I rounded it up to 100 cuz yolo).
 
Very interesting indeed.  Seems to be working though.
 
Edit: My mouse is over Board Power Draw so you can see one of the peaks, annoying that the mouse doesn't show up in the screenshot.

Well dunno I upgraded the bios but I can't still go above 130 mhz on core crashes at 135 in port royal at the end.

Think I don't have. A good silicone

So no improvement for me :(

Thoughts on whether a RM750x is sufficient for this with a Ryzen 3600 system?

Also have a tower cooler, 4 case fans, 2x SATA SSD, and 1x M.2 NVMe.

Wondering how it compares with the strix now.

I just tested and was able to hold a steady 2100Mhz OC in Wolfenstein: Youngblood and didn't go above 63 degrees. So pretty much just as good if not better.


Now it's complete and I can forget about the Strix and enjoy what I have without any remorse.
This is an amazing card.

Good to hear, this was the main reason I was holding out for a Strix--well that and I think the Strix is built a little better overall. But I've been burned by terrible ASUS customer service in the past so I'll likely grab an FTW3 if I find one unless I get lucky with a Strix somehow.

I have 2 strix ocs and only 1 ftw3 atm. I was going to flash the strix bios today, but this bios saves me the hassle, so its much appreciated. Now that they are both 450 watt. 3090 bios would be nice since the strix is 480 on that. However, I am still power limited. I would say the ftw3 cooler does a better job at 100% fan than the strix cooler does, even though by looks and build the strix oc looks more beefy and effective. I think the ftw3 card has some catching up to do compared to the strix but it is 40 bucks less at 809 vs 849.  Hopefully we can get a true xoc bios

how in the heck did you get all those cards?

So I decided to boot up on my stable 5GHz 1.3V settings & give'er a go with the +100/+200 OC on the GPU, and this is what I wound up with, and it's once again showing a VOp VRel reason for performance cap:
 

 
But that's a nice bump in score from just a smol GPU OC, about 550 pts from where I was.
 
Edit: I'm gonna run it again with GPUz closed & see what I get.
