So the msi bios is a lot more stable on lower high end. But once u hit top, throttles card a lot lower to keep stability. All I can say is, I hope evga fixes the issue with load balancing and power management on this card. And it was called a beta bios for a reason. I really hope they improve it. Otherwise you have to shunt the card and pcie slot power. I was able to clock to 2205 to 2190 in port royal and timespy I got 2160 to 2145 then down to 2130 and even 2115.... But 20 watts more isn't getting u much on the evga bios

Pointless buying the evga ftw3, two pin cards are just as good. My first and last Evga product, It appears my card has degraded due to heat I can't get the scores that I used to on port royal, I'm about 1000 points down, my card sometimes hit 90c while gaming, 

421w is the point where I get diminishing returns, 2160 is my Silicone lottery limit 2175 is usually crash point for this one.
FTW3 Hybrid, 12782 PR 12800 Is out of reach now matter how much power I try to give it it starts going in the other direction and the score is 12560 to 540
I do have a couple nice undervolts that are only 2 -3 Frames less than default power (380w) and only pulls 260W

I hit 13063 PR lol.... Consistently over 13000.... 2190 mhz and +1125 memory

I just want someone to get a 100% way to power mod this card, with out drawing a ton of power from pcie slot. Honestly 600 to 800 watts would be awesome on this thing.

I tried the suprim bios a bit, i noticed power probably werent reporting accurately? For example i tried mining, 96 mh/s reported 137watts (normally 220w)in the miner, and while running port royal, it was hovering around 300-350watts, cruising at 2190mhz. Its like its shuntmodding itself?

Not thermal throttling, power throttling -_-

If you're already hitting 447w and the voltage is staying at near max then it may not be much different.
This is more for those of us who can't get past 420ish watts without the card pulling core voltage pack and power limiting.

Go back like 3ish pages and look.

I don't see anything About a bios. I kinda have a baby in one hand just give me a link to the bios and I'll report back as soon as I put my daughter to bed in 10 mins

Be glad you can even hit that. Mine won't draw over 390w max on the 450w bios
