Funny enough I managed to get my coolermaster riser cable working with fiddling with some pci express settings in my bios .but wh3n I put my glass door on the case my frames drop my card doesn't like being closed in what a poser lol..

Thought I was in the matrix (deja vu) between threads then realised you posted it in both of them @Purgatory

Yes seems we have 2 threads running with the 3090ti stuff and a 3rd now the owners thread but trying not to fill that up with this sort of stuff and let Kaapstad add the relevant stuff there from any of the posts in these threads.
Well from that video we now know why Nvidia didn't seed 3090Ti FE models for reviews and they made sure reviewers got the EVGA FTW3 Ultra or the MSI suprim x.. Also funny thing I noticed on 3090ti's they don't allow you to increase the power limit on them .. seems they are fixed by the vbios setting and the performance bios on many models I have seen so far have locked power limit and 100% is max.
That video basically shows that a 3090Ti FE will get beat by a 3090 AIB card with a higher than default power limit.

In the couple reviews I've looked at my OC 3090 is getting same performance as 3090ti while using less power
Fascinating scaling benchmarks
Do not buy the 3090ti if you plan to undervolt, this GPU does not like it. As soon as you drop under 300watts the performance dives off a cliff and at 250w or less the 3090ti is SLOWER than the 3090.
The 3090ti needs lots of juice to keep any advantage over the 3090, if you start dropping its power limits via undervolting you can become slower than a 3090

Seems the new board design (its the 4000 series pcb) is to blame - and also foreshadows 4000 series boards not undervolting either
I'm okay with 300W as it's the target for my 3080. It's worth drawing attention to his findings that the 3090Ti is more efficient at 300W and above, while also using faster VRAM. Pre 300W could be down to drivers and/or Afterburner.
Remember the 3090 is just a broken 3090Ti, with slower memory.
I'd be interested to see what the confirmed power draw is under RT workloads as that has been the only reason for me to upgrade past the 1080Ti.
