Is the bios selector in the second position?
 
"Newer EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA cards will be shipping with the XOC BIOS already loaded on the secondary position. The below BIOS should ONLY be installed if your card DID NOT already have it applied."

Yes. If i remeber correctly Pos1 is 107% max and 450Watt and pos 2 is 119% but maxed out at 109% and 460Watt.

If you flip back a couple of pages, you'll see people discussing this issue and a possible fix.

What is the latest serial numbers for the 3090 ftw3 ultra? There isn't one central thread for referncing all the different serial numbers and pcb version... I've been seeing people mention back lip card, rev. 1, etc....

What serial, rev. #, or whatever is EVGA sending out now as "the end all, fix all issues" card?

I have this exact card and I'm kind worried that it will sheet the bed at some point.

How can you tell the revision number?
 
And has the 3080 gone through a revision?

My EVGA FTW3 3090 ULTRA GPU PCIe +12V Input Power max at 79.586W, do you think I should/could RMA it? I plan to keep this card untill the next gen comes and I'm afraid it'll be harder to resell if there's something wrong with it. Thank you.

I have the same issue and would also like to know the answer to this if anyone can help. 

Post #2 of this thread has EVGA_Jacob's posts about a special RMA program for the 3090 FTW3.
 
As has been stated in this thread about 2000 times, GPU-Z reading >67W on the PCIE slot is out of tolerance. The PCIE spec in 75W max, but GPU-Z only reads 12V wattage and not 12V + 3V wattage (67 + 8 = 75). So if you're almost at 80W read, then in reality it's ~88W or more. Some motherboards might be able to handle it if it's a high end one with supplemental power, but it's still out of a universal specification that all manufacturers of PCIE components are supposed to follow or they have to take the PCIE compliant off of their product.

Aux PCIe Power will help a lot if you have a OC mobo. The only reason I see for RMA is if the card has those horrible jumps in clocks, mine was like that and with that problem no matter if you are in a custom waterblock it will go down while you bench/game and loose a lot of FPS.

Cheers!

You have to open the box if it's new and see the PCIe connector, there's the rev number if you want to be 100% sure. But, on the RTX 3090 all first were red lips with the picture in the box, and rev 1.0 are black lips so you can spot it before you open from the picture. Dunno the case on the 3080, I saw some 3080Ti that are black lips.


Good luck, Sergio!

as for my understanding rma program is sending rev 1.0 only...read what i posted about my rev 1.0 please

EVGA - What is going on?!
I spent £100 sending my Ultra FTW Hybrid 3090 rev 0.1 card to you with proof of it pulling over 80watts on the PCI-E slot and only 465/470 watt board power in the original box which was like brand new with all the foam inner packaging,
 
and I've received my old card with no changes still same rev 0.1 and same serial numbers still only pulling 465/470 peaks in tests.
 
the box has been cut open from the front picture and generally in very poor state cant sell it later on in life like this and most of the nice foam inners gone.
 
I cant believe this is how you treat cards/customers?
