The only difference between the BIOSes is the fan profiles, how aggressively the fans are run. The OC BIOS has a more aggressive fan profile, thus allowing for a higher overclock (theoretically).

The fan profile does make a difference. I ran Port Royale with stock settings, and only changed the switch and got a few extra hundred points.

 
I didn't say it doesn't make a difference, just had to throw the "theoretically" for the inevitable user(s) that would chime in and say it doesn't make a difference for them/their setup.

My timespy score went down 700 points installing the OC bios. overclocking to 175/245 only got my score back to being 300 under. This BIOS isn't ready.

I sure hope my 750 can handle this! 

Ok, got a FTW Ultra, came here. Updated to "normal" beta BIOS, started X1, it did another BIOS update. Am I good? Just trying to make sure I have the correct BIOS flashed.
 
GPU-Z says: Bios 94.02.26.48.87
 
Thanks.
 
 

Hi,
 
My current firmware version is 94.02.26.48.AE according the firmware tool (OC mode on with 3080 Ultra). Should I update with having 1000w PSU or leave it as is?

Same version is shown in GPU-Z also. I got this card yesterday, so just wondering is this bios older or newer?

I was able to go from +100 to +150 with the XOC bios after a Hybrid Kit install for my FTW3 Ultra

Ok guys can someone please enlighten me ? I have downloaded both the 450w bioses and extracted the NORMAL one and flashed it.. I thought NORMAL one would write the bios to the normal slot..Since I have zero interest in the original NORMAL bios I thought I'll have the original OC bios in the OS slot and the 450w bios in the normal slot....
BUT, the 450w bios got written to the OC slot, so now I have the original NORMAL bios and the 450w bios...
 
Can anyone guide me to achieving what I want ?
I wan to to have only the original OC bios and the 450w bios...
 
thanks in advance
