Been having some interesting testing today with my Palit RTX 3080 non OC version -
View attachment 36T3LnZ.jpg
It's been rock solid in everything since day one and I haven't seen anyone posting problems with either the standard or OC vesrions.
However experimenting with different drivers I see a consistant drop of around 300 points in 3D Mark time spy scores between 456.38 and the latest 456.71 - most notably the 456.38 Studio Drivers seem to give the most consistent high scores across runs, with avg clock showing 2010 Mhz as opposed to 1995 Mhz with the other driver versions.
Now Palit have updated Bios on their website - doesn't seem to matter whether you download the OC or non OC versions and I think it's the same .exe download for all 30 series RTX - when run it gives the option to backup Bios and then I assume chooses the update based on board ID.
After update the card would no longer boost above 1995 regardless of driver - unless using Palit's "Thundermaster" OC software which allowed me to get back the perfomance.
Used NVFlash to restore my original Bios and back to previous behaviour - I'm wondering if i got lucky and got an "OC" bios originally even though it was badged as the regular card ?
I can't get this card to crash - the "auto" overclock in the Thundermaster software puts 118 Mhz on the core and 200Mhz on memory - I'm loath to push it further as I feel I'm pushing my luck, but very happy as I seem to have "won" the silicon lottery this time round.
In conclusion if you have a Palit card I'd recomend staying on your original Bios as the "new" ones seem to be more "conservative" and for high 3d mark scores if nothing else use 456.38 Studio drivers.

edit - eventually got it to fail a run with plus 130 Mhz on the core under 456.38 - changing to 456.71 and all else left same it again passed.
Even odder - removed all overclock everything rebooted to default settings with clean install of 456.71 and just recorded my best score yet -http://www.3dmark.com/spy/14453514
Core and memory speeds both boosting and holding consistantly higher than before all my fiddling about today.
I'll call that a win, but shows the ficklness of synthetic benchmarks and probably even small differences in temperature etc.

Looks great by the way my very first decent build was red + black.

Cheers - One of the problems of re-using parts from old builds, I have a mix of RGB fans and a mix of red fans lol - at some point in the future when I get the corsair H150i capellix and 3 more ml120 pro rgbs then I might be able to change colour

Until then I'm stuck on red

That's one for future me to sort out lol

Yep... making me very envious. Just another 101 to ship before mine (TUF OC). Got to wait a couple of weeks either way for my waterblock so just enjoying seeing people with them for now!!

Colonel_Klinck · 11 Oct 2020 at 11:48

Anyone with a TUF OC or non OC tried flashing one of the bios with a Strix bios yet? Be interesting to see what the higher power limit does for performance.

I saw Frame Chasers YouTube channel flash a FTW with a Stix bios as they are all reference cards but it has a higher power limit. It worked. If it wasn’t a dual bios card I’m not sure I’d have to balls to try it lol

Check the 3080 owners thread over on overclock loads of people flashing different brands and posting results.
