That's what I see for perfcap all the time as well, and yes total power isn't accurate - kilowatt meter or UPS reading is the way to know for sure.
 
Now go find your chip's actual max OC. Mine in 3DMark's Port Royal is 2.2GHz, with a 2122Mhz average clock speed (with Hybrid kit - it was a bit lower on air). https://www.3dmark.com/pr/645547 



To clarify for my brain because I've been up a while already, the ACTUAL CLOCKS (not the ones on the first tab, but the one's it's saying it is running at) it's reading out at on the OSD/in GPUz are correct regardless of what BIOS it's on right?
I will have to play around with this another time when I'm less exhausted - don't wanna make a mental flub because I'm tired.

GPU / VRAM clock speeds should all report correctly in GPU-Z / AB. Other than the increased wattage draw/heat level, the clock speed and voltage levels are how I interpret the XC3 VBIOS as overcoming whatever artificial limitation (intentional or unintentional) many of these FTW3 cards have.

That the unlocked kingpin VBIOS? Just be aware that flashing it will void your warranty.

Just ran Port Royal with only the -250MHz vRAM applied, nothing else, and now I'm seeing 465W power draw during the test (used to max out at 450-457W at the very most), and my core is clocking higher at stock... 




Someone in the kingpin power draw problem thread mentioned that there are three power limits that the FTW3/kingpin cards can hit very early at low overall power draw (390W in my case) - PCIE slot, VRAM, and one other that I forget. They also mentioned that the power limit for the VRAM is set lower on these cards than other manufacturers set, even the FE cards.


Don't ask me exactly how a 2 power pin XC3 VBIOS corrects that issue, but it does.




That would be me.

Finally, a bios that doesn't suck. Thank you, my card's clock speed no longer jumps all over the place!

Again, flashing that VBIOS voids your warranty. If EVGA sees the post and makes note of it, any warranty claim can be denied. 
 
Leaving the 1000W kingpin VBIOS on your card, even if you never say that you flashed it on these forums, will also be grounds for EVGA to deny any future RMA on the card.
 
You've all been warned.

Lol I wouldn't have to **** around with so many bios' if they sorted this **** out already instead of being silent this whole time. At least this one doesn't cripple my card.

I'm not about sacing my warranty just to resolve something that eVGA will likely put out a BIOS update for later, and like I've said before, I don't think I'll have this card longer than a month or so, so I'm not overly concerned about it... I'd prefer not to "pass that problem" on to the next buyer, but it's a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.  Technically speaking, these cards should have a 525W BIOS natively - they're the highest end GPU for their line, they have 3x 150W plugs plus a 75W PCIe slot, so if they were programmed/softwared properly to handle said power, 525W would be "Safe" and "Optimal" - instead we're getting a 78-82W draw from the PCIe slot while the 8 pin power connectors sit in the 120s most of the time & the card can't even hit it's power target in 95% of normal use cases.  Literally the only thing I've been able to get close to 500W, or even more than slightly over 450W, is Time Spy Extreme & Time Spy.
I just don't get how they fudged this BIOS up so badly but the XOC BIOS for the 3080 does it's job perfectly... and they're supposedly the same PCB, the main diff: The amount of vRAM.

I got it workin' - assuming it's normal for the power limit readout to be all wonky, seeing "296W" peak draw in Port Royal but I'm actually getting higher & more stable stock clocks, with more "VRel" than "PWR" in PerfCap reason... and the score is about what I used to get stock, little bit higher.
I'm guessing there's no way of actually knowing how much power it's drawing now other than watching the power readout on my backup power? lol


That's what I see for perfcap all the time as well, and yes total power isn't accurate - kilowatt meter or UPS reading is the way to know for sure.

Thats a super impressive clock speed and average!!!!
I have a few questions if you dont mind. Monitoring such a small amount of voltage worries me that I wouldnt know exactly if the card is using to much power even with my powerbar reading. Could anything get damaged using this bios even if the temps were under control? Do you use any of the voltage slider in afterburner?
Even if the card will have warranty using this I still dont think im knowledge enough yet to use it. Any useful links for me to read up on would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for all the info.
