What bios is on there?

It's been patched to the reBar bios (and impressively MSI did drop a MB bios for x299). But resizable BAR doesn't make a lot of difference in 3dmark - in fact I don't even think the nvidia driver paths are enabled for it on 3dmark. There were some nice gains in Forza from reBar though.

So you're saying it's the stock FE bios which has a low power limit? How the heck do you get over 2200mhz lol

It's the stock bios but I've modded the card to bypass the power limit. There's no way to flash a different bios onto a 3090FE, so if you want to unlock the power you have to solder. I suppose in theory someone could hard-flash a custom bios onto it but the bios chip used on the FE is unusual and the average hardflash tool isn't likely to work on it. Plus the fact that it's a single bios card, so hardflashing would be a bigger risk than on a dual-bios card. Safer to solder.

I've benched the card on here before at ~2290mhz (and used that in daily gaming, cyberpunk, etc.) but dialling that up doesn't always yield the best result; one has to watch the internal clock using Thermspy or Hwinfo, and set-clock and internal clock are closer for me at 2265mhz.
