I've been out of the loop for a while. Wasn't there supposed to be an update to fix the card explosion issue/fan bonkers issue that happened with the New World game? Did that update ever materialize or is EVGA still playing dumb over it and trying to silently sweep it under the rug?




that happens to rev 0.1 cards not to rev 1.0, before New World I reported they did the same on other games also

so i pulled my card to check the revision and its 0.1 , here is gpuz screen capture. Would you please verify i should RMA?




I sent my rev 0.1 not because it was a bad card but for the crazy jumps in Core Clocks. Even though i was using VBIOS XC3, on Port Royal and other benchmarks and with the Hybrid Kit installed clocks dropped too much. Rev 1.0 cards are way more stable and on air they pump better FPS and that reflects benchmarks score and in games, if you put them on water the better. In addition, i found that my rev 1.0 card at less clocks than rev 0.1 scores better, and this is because clocks stay steady till a certain point depending on the load/temp/boots etc, while the rev 0.1 was jumping crazy to lower clocks (1825, 1865 from 2055+). This was also reported by other users here on this thread.

Cheers, Sergio!

Does anyone know how the 8-pin connectors align with naming in GPU-Z? For example, if the card is viewed in the typical scenario (installed horizontally in PCIE slot) then moving from left to right are those #1, #2, #3, or reverse?




#3 towards the back of the PC.

Hi,
 
I was just able to make an order for the EVGA 3090 FTW3 Bstock card (24G-P5-3987-RX), what are the chances I'm going to get a card with hardware issues? like the power issues in this thread? I know this card only comes with a 1 year warranty, is there anyway to get more?
 
Thanks all.

EVGA will take care of you if there is a problem within that 1 year warranty. No, you can't extend that warranty through EVGA: https://www.evga.com/supp...tails.aspx?faqid=59300

Can anyone tell me the difference between the FTW3 Ultra vBIOS and the FTW3 Hybrid vBIOS? Getting ready to flash my 3090 FTW3 Ultra that I installed a hybrid cooler on after the fact. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I’m assuming maybe the difference would be how the fan control page is laid out?- where it doesn’t show three fan curves since the two radiator fans run from the same header on the card. Just curious if there is any difference in the voltage curve or anything of that sort.

Thanks!

Got my 3090 FTW3 and it seems to be solid so far.  Re-setup my Lancool Mesh II with 3x front unobstructed 140mm fans (no mounting frame, canted, using improvised zip tie mount!!) two are CLC280 fans plus one stock case fan, shroud ramp mod, two bottom T30's, rear GT 2150 and the CLC280 top exhaust with A12's zip tied to it.  Running cool.
