Oh that's unfortunate, if a significant portion of the people buying these cards end up swapping for the hybrid it would be great if at least the nice blocks could be reused.
Would I be correct in guessing that the replaced caps are the 2.5V polymer cans at the output of the VRMs? Did they get swapped to surface mount SP-caps or similar? I can't seem to find a shot of the HC PCB floating around.

It's been a few weeks since I saw a side-by-side shot of the PCBs, but I believe it's the row of caps closest to the memory chips on both sides of the GPU (left/right).  As you said, I believe these were swapped to surface mount SP-caps, but don't take that as gospel.

Is there going to be an XOC bios for the 3070 ti?  I'm hitting power cap playing games at 1440p and it makes me sad

I just got lucky enough to purchase an RTX 3070 Ti Ultra Gaming as well and I'd also love to know the answer to this.

Any news for the xoc bios for the 3080 ti?A lot of people are asking for it,it strange that evga is not planning for one...

Good night, I have an EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA on the way and I understand that the bios that come are 450W. Is there something 500W for this graph? Thanks

Can someone confirm that? The 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra comes with a 450w power limit from the factory on the default/normal BIOS?

Which software is most recommended to try and increase power? MSI Afterburner?

Will there be xoc bios for 3080 Ti? Hitting power limit on water. 500 or 520w would be nice.

Everyone is asking this,but Evga probably doesnt want to dump the only reason to burn more money for a 3090

Edit: please clearly mention it's packaged to include both bios for dual bios cards. It's not obvious and if it is mentioned it's not clear enough to be easily noticed.

This is a bit confusing for dual bios cards.

Which bios is for which for the "normal" switch and which one is for the "OC" switch?
