"the XFX card is now about 3% faster than the reference and the GeForce RTX 4080 FE in the normal BIOS, but it needs about 10% more electrical energy, which amounts to 390.2 watts. This is already almost 114 watts more than the FE and we also see that the slow frames (P1 Low) are piling up because the variances are getting a bit worse. With BIOS #2, I can now still release 403.5 watts, which also de facto corresponds to the stored power limit. But: I now get only a single FPS more, despite the 12 watts more at the power connector! It’s not worth it in any case. The drops have become a bit less and the map runs a bit smoother, but it’s still pure crowbar."
