Hello,
 
i installed AIO kit from EVGA on my 3080 ftw3 ultra today and I am trying to flash hybrid bios from post#1 but I am getting this and I tried to install normal and OC....

   The display may go *BLANK* on and off for up to 6 seconds
   or more during access to the EEPROM depending on your display
   adapter and output device, it will begin in about 3 seconds.

No display adapters were found that are compatible with this update.

***UPDATE***
apparently you can install FTW3 ultra bios only, not hybrid. not sure why, since right now this is hybrid card...anyway I am hitting 444W draw for the board.  +650 on mem and +148 on core. timespy graphic score 19053

Thumbs up, interesting I hit same timespy graphic score but it only draws 380 watts during the test..

and what OC you have on yours? i am hitting 55C at max load. case is meshify c i have 2x140mm fans intake. aio is on the top as outtake and rear fan 120 outtake.
 

For some reason or another these cards can't crash in gaming when you are overclocked..... They can't handle the power phase switching. I think it has something to do with the ****ty up9511 voltage controller.... Almost all other cards have up9512 which is wayyyyy better, has way higher frequency range. I'm really annoyed I have to downlock my card to 2115 to 2130 to stay stable in games. Keep in mind my max temps are 36 to 41c gaming on my water block

Again the voltage controller is not it. Otherwise other cards that don't feature it wouldn't have exactly the same symptoms. Same thing can happen on Kingpin or some strix cards, as well as handful of gigabyte.
 
Probably the boost clocks are just the silicon lottery, however you want to turn it. I can have 2130+ stable in games without any issues, while somebody else can't, same goes for CPU's somebody can have much better bin and push much higher clocks on the same cpu..

Here's the bios to convert the card to a Hybrid card so the fans curve are correct and it shows up correct in X1.

I doubt the cards with up9512 are set to switch at a higher frequency, even if they are capable of it.


edit: I mean i have a FTW3 too and im game stable at 2160-2175, as dude said before, its probably just your chip thats limiting you.

At 4K in RDR2, I'm stable at 2,085mhz 1.081V - 2,100mhz 1.1V, 400W-420W.  That's a TOUGH load for non-RTX, so much that the prevailing opinion online is that you can't run RDR2 with an OC.  Like +90 core, +600 mem usually at about 55C, hybrid.

Count yourself lucky. Mine won't draw over 390w on the 450w bios. It's ****ed

U need to get ur card colder or a waterblock. Otherwise u won't draw as much. I'm sitting at 36 to 44 max temps..... With my loop and block. 2130 to 2160 in games.... Port royal 2190 is max stable.... Timespy 2175 if I keep it under 33c.... Before I had under water max game clocks were 2085 to 2055 if I was lucky....under 60c

Umm, nope. My card is cold AF. 8-10 Celsius actually, 30-35 under full load and its not pulling more on Timespy than 398W with 1,1V and clocks set to 160 on the GPU and 1250 on the VRAM.


 
BIOS is installed, tried both switch positions, rebooted etc. nothing works for me. What is wrong with this card ? What load do i have to put on it ? I think the BIOS is not giving me **** as the 398W are no matter if i push the Voltage to 1.1V or leave it at standard 1.063 or with the VRAM at 0 OC.
 
Anyone have an idea what i could do ? Is it the Card ? Is it the BIOS ?
 
EDIT: Forget what i said. I downloaded the BIOS again, reflashed, shut down the PC, flipped the switch twice and now its working. I don't know where i messed up...argh.

Hey. Since you say it's working are you now drawing full power limit?

I have flashed the bios twice and shut down to flip the of switch off. Booted up in non of. Shut down and flipped back to OC switch but still the same

Did you do anything different? What else should I try?
