Hi,
I tried my luck on pcmr subreddit but nothing came up - so I'm trying here. Here's a repost and a link to original one:
Title is pretty much self explanatory. Recently I bought PNY RTX 2080 Super Triple Fan with serial number VCG20808STFPPB. This card is overall very nice - but support is nowhere to be found. Judging from PNY website - this model does not exist... Honestly I have no idea what should I think of it - but card itself is legit. The problem is hardware support and identification. For example PNY's software is unable to detect it well enough. Even tho this card has RGB I haven't found a program that would controll it properly. Also it seems I got lucky with the silicon lottery and both gpu and ram have a lot of room to be overclocked. Unfortunately cards power limit is hard locked at 250W. So now I'm looking for a different VBIOS to flash. To gain controll over all card functions and to hopefully strech power limit a bit.
As far as I can tell, PCB and everything else on my model looks exactly the same as PNY RTX 2080 Super XLR8 Gaming Overclocked Edition with serial VCG20808STFPPB-O (or less likely VCG20808STFMPB-O). But to be honest those serial numbers are mismatched in many online shops - so I simply don't know which one would be safer. Probably the one without USB-C support (since my card doesn't have it).
I've been looking for a BIOS from any XLR8 version, but was unable to find it. TechPowerUp database has no official PNY 2080 super BIOS roms. Two unoficial ones are from my card and from a blower version - which for sure will not work with triple fan design. I would appreciate if anyone could point me to a requested BIOS or provide it from owned GPU (possibly passed trough TechPowerUp upload).
I'd appreciate any help
P.S.: I tried contacting PNY local support - asking to at least identify my card and for some hints with its configuration trough external programs. Waiting for their answer.
