Hi, not yet, it's doable as I recall.
For now I only added a +90 OC (plus its small extra % to PL) and a modified fan curve, playing Watchdogs Lergion @2055 and 64C.

Any idea which bios is worth using?

Hello everyone, finally.

Also question, anyone had any luck flashing a different bios on the trio?

I think I saw someone here with flashed trio. Port Royal thread, but on 3090...should work the same with 3080?

Dunno

Have you received you're card?

Where you been bro, I posted pictures in both in this thread and in the 10gb is not enough thread

Basically I managed to get an FE on Friday and had it delivered the next day. Did not even pay extra for Saturday delivery

Lol. To be honest, the anticipation is half the fun. I have had it for nearly two full days and barely used it. But will get benching tomorrow

Shaolin Chicken · 8 Nov 2020 at 21:48

Just a bit of fun, glad you got one, now get benching.

Hey there, just doing that right now, I'm at 800 on the memory and 75 on the core with power limit up full.
Fans on full, they are really quiet, getting some, okay to small gains.
Let me know if you plan to flash the bios for a higher power limit and I'll be brave with you

Ok cheers, no plan to flash bios, I waited too long to brick the bloody thing.

I've got my RTX 3080 FE recently, too. Initial 3DMark test at all default settings was hilarious and suggested I'm faster than 98% of all others, probably because not enough people have been able to get these beauties due to supply problems. Results on https://www.3dmark.com/fs/23889288

The FE card is beautiful, and it's staggeringly quiet. Even when running Furmark torture tests in power virus mode, it remains whisper quiet. I mean the fan is genuinely barely inaudible even when the card is under full load for several minutes. This is a huge shock since my old EVGA 2080 Ti would sound like a vacuum cleaner when under prolonged periods of 100% load. NVIDIA has implemented something magical here with their blow-through cooling solution. It's just a shame the supply situation blows so not many enthusiasts will get to enjoy these.

Haha understood
Just popped the ftw3 ultra on mine, instead of 1900 clocks it's 2100 and finally used enough Watts to warrant having 3 pins

Folks, in afterburner, my Trio X is only able to go up to 102% on power. Any idea how to get this higher or is this locked to a max level based on bios?
Also anyway to alter the core voltage in msi since its greyed out?

Read my posts above yours
And the voltage, I don't know why it's gray, it is for me too

Cavallino · 8 Nov 2020 at 22:56

Understood, thanks Illuminist, so its a bios thing then...

Are all 3080s stuck at the same power limits?

L-Digital82 · 8 Nov 2020 at 23:09

my evga xc3 gaming goes to 107%

Cavallino · 8 Nov 2020 at 23:12

Hmm my Trio goes to 102% only.

JediFragger · 8 Nov 2020 at 23:13

FE goes to 115%.

Enjoy the card @Illuminist I know you've been hankering for a while!!

I run an almost 1:1 fan profile on my FE @TNA and find it a good mix of cooling and noise (or lack thereof!)

Sounds good. What other settings you got? Did you use the ox scanner? Any under or overclock or all default?

The % is relative to the starting point so a higher number isn't always better. For example:

300W + 15% = 345W
340W + 2% = 346.8W

You need to know what the cards base power limit is for the % to have any meaning. Not all cards have the same base power limit, those with smaller %'s typically have higher base limits and they all get to about the same number without an unlocked BIOS.

Not used scanner, just dropped voltage on the curve and running around 1950mhz and +800 mem in game.

Ok thanks, that kinda slipped my mind that the AiB's use more juice at base.

Cavallino · 8 Nov 2020 at 23:27

Good point born2k8.
Trio is 340W.
evga xc3 is 330W.
But the FE is 375W I think.
