I just found this post with a link to a VBIOS update from Asus, that supposedly unlocks powerlimit to TUF and Strix 3080/3090 cards, making you able to go up to 450w in power if you want. Has anyone tried this new VBIOS update...

Check this NVIDIA Control Panel option: NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Power Management Mode > SET TO "Optimal Power". If this option is set to "Prefer maximum power" then my RTX 3080 will also use almost 100w at idle. PS! You might have to reboot for the new setting to take effect...

Yeah I saw that. The executable is just a zip file, that when opened, lists many VBIOS files and the update tools themselves. I updated my TUF 3080 OC now, and it seems the fans stay at 0 rpm when watching youtube videos, and browsing the web (gpu accellerated), and stuff like that. These...

I see Asus has posted this for the OC version too. But I'm a bit confused. Only one VBIOS update file is posted, and it doesn't say anything about which VBIOS it is meant for: Performance or Quiet mode. When I try to run the 3080biosupdate.exe file, it seems it just wants to update the VBIOS...

Still not worth it IMO. All sorts of crap can pop up (secondary monitors not working, powerlimit issues, stability issues, fan curve issues, etc).

Flashing with a BIOS from a different manufacturer isn't even a workaround. Not worth the risk. It voids your warranty. Asus needs to deliver an updated BIOS that fixes both the fan-stop issues and powerlimiter issues. Or cards will be RMA'ed once resellers have stock. It's sad that one of the...

I'm experiencing the same. My card is power limited all the time (perfcap reason pwr) after increasing the power limit to 110%, yet I've never seen the total power usage of the card go over 347W. Maybe adjusting the powerlimit only adjusts it based on base GPU TDP, which for the RTX 3080 is 320W...

Thanks. That makes sense. Cause I see the fans spin up whenever the board clocks itself up momentarily. It's strange though, cause my previous card, a Asus Strix RTX 2070 Super never activated the fans unless it reached a certain temperature. Small spikes in power draw will as it is now cause...

I received a reply from Asus regarding my issues with the fan-stop function as described in a previous post: So I urge everyone that experiences this issue to create support tickets directly with Asus referring to the described issues and this forum thread. The more they pass on to their Q/A...

I finally heard from Asus support: As expected their answer was useless. If the card wasn't properly seated in the PCIe socket that would have caused other major instability issues. Regardless, I tried re-seating it and it had zero effect. I am using the latest Nvidia driver and this issue...

I submitted the ticket to Asus on the 26th. It's now the 30th. Still haven't received any reply what-so-ever outside of the automated "we've received your case" email. 4+ day waiting time to even get an answer isn't exactly good support.

Ok thanks! I created a ticket with Asus myself, and attached all the info and screen shots and everything. I'll update this thread whenever I get a response from Asus. I've so far solved the issue by using Asus GPU Tweak II and disabling "0dB Fan" mode, which makes the fans spin at a constant...

Did you hear anything from Asus regarding the issue? I have a similar issue with OC version, although for me the fans keep going on and off really randomly. It seems like anything that makes the GPU or memory on the card increase the clocks causes the fans to turn on at 1000rpm for anything...
