anyone else notice the card seemingly not caring about this Power limit ? everything reporting only using max 107 percent of PL during bm...

 
While I can hit ~445w average (117%) in Furmark with 125% max peaks, in gaming I typically see 350w-425w.  It doesn't just sit there riding on the power limit, even with VRR.  But if you're seeing perf cap PL at 107% consistently, you may have the plug 3 issue or are running at the stock 380w limit and reading 107% peaks.  Of course you have to select the 118% limit in X1 and apply it.

So I tried to flash the 3080 FTW3 Ultra 450w 'normal' bios to a hybrid using the evga provided .EXE in an attempt to get 0% fan speed control. It kicks out for not being a compatible card.  Before I go messing around with the unlocked NVFlash and bios files, can anyone confirm that the newest 3080 FTW3 Ultra 450w (xoc) 'normal' rebar bios has 0% speed on all the fans?  Pls halp.
 
EDIT:  Nevermind, I'm just going to use "Fan Control" freeware to run the rad fans off a MB header+hub.  Figure I've got a good 450w rebar bios on the normal switch position and a good 450w non-rebar bios on the OC position, shouldn't push my luck cross flashing bios.
 
Does anyone know if the "normal" switch position 450w hybrid bios pre-rebar had a 0% minimum fan speed on the radiator, or was it always 30%?

I recieved my 3080 ftw3 ultra yesterday. firmware upgrade went without issues.XOC OC Bios upgrade without issues. Re-Size bar worked out of the box here with asus rog dark hero mobo. Good Work Evga!

Not sure if this is a limited issue, but I updated to try out the latest vBIOS on my FTW3 Ultra.
 

 
Since the update to 94.02.42.80.31:
 

• Re-BAR didn't work, even with CSM off, 4G, etc etc -> System gets stuck in boot loop to a black screen, like some others.
• When playing games, and leaving all BAR settings OFF previously, I get random restarts and have been getting some more jitter/skipped frames.
• My PX1 is either reporting wrong, but saying my fans are off when they are still following my Custom curve, or any of the presets. 

Is there a way to go back and flash the previous vBIOS I had? I'll wait for some new releases or until Re-BAR is ironed out, even until a Stable bios for my motherboard is out (Asus ROG X570 Gaming E).

More than likely your Windows install drive is in MBR mode and not GPT. In order for this to work your windows install drive must be GPT. Check that. If its not, you must convert it to GPT.

I had that issue since i was lazy (:D) to re-install all the apps and download everything again and so on so i just cloned my system from my previous ssd to my new m2 and run into this when i tried to enable re-size bar. But if you run at MBR no worries - you can do it without re-installing the system and i can guarantee it's working since i've did it like that:
it goes like this

my boot manager partition FAT32 which has been created is only 500megabyte big. This is enough. i still have 468MByte free space on that partition.
after that as written, you start into bios, choose uefi, deactivate CSM which also must be if you enable re-size bar.
 
But go ahead and google for "how to convert mbr go gpt without data loss". You will find very good tips on linus or tomshardware, windowscentral and so on how to do it.
When i checked X1 for the first time i was able to boot with uefi using my new boot partition, i still have had the same error as you. After that i downloaded the new nvidia driver and put it on desktop and i've download DDI from guru3d and have cleaned and deinstalled all nvidia and screen drivers (DO IT IN SAFE MODE!) . after reboot i went back to windows and installed the nvidia drivers. installed X1 again and everything was working.
 
Try and error if you know what you do but dont let third party software trick you. You can convert this using only windows 10 disk management and CMD run  in admin mode.

Any decent partition manager, like minitool partition wizard should have an utility to convert MBR drives to GPT witouth the loss of any data and no need to clone or so...

Thanks!!!!

Sounds awesome!!

Nice, good job !
