Well if you set the voltage too low it will not have enough power to reach higher clock rates and that will have the same effect that you are experiencing.
Now you need to check one more thing that is to disable P2 state for the GPU, have look at this post and you should be able to perform this action. It will increase you hashrate by about 2 as well.
This might help for windows users

There a new bios for Nvidia Resizable bar which apparently overcomes the power limit issue
Really anxious to see if this fixed it in Hive. Gonna try ASAP
WINDOWS: I can confirm this worked setting my card to 102.5MH fixed.
I have set -150core, +1150 mem and +102% PL in MSI Afterburner.
Nice, good to hear it finally worked!
Does this work in Hive mate?
EVGA FTW3: [94.02.26.48.88 ] »» This one fails to flash. It never finishes flashing? 
I’ll try the other one
Same thing 
What the hell? Something’s not working, maybe after recent Hive updates.
It seems to hang in EEPROM protection disable:

And it hangs in here until reboot… Any ideas on this?
Hi Shiretu, thanks for the reply, I got scared how no one replied to this and it’s not a common error.
Currently the card is running the SuprimX bios: 94.02.42.00.F9
I cannot go from this bios to the EVGA one 
For me it always works. I use windows and an extra card, so the flashed card is never used with a monitor
Yes but this happens on Hive, it’s a headless setup
I don’t believe the card driver modules can be unloaded from kernel, it keeps it locked forever after loading. That’s what prevents the flasher to work. One way is to tell hiveos not to load the nvidia drivers!? Not sure tho. Just boot off of a windows external driver, solve the VBIOS, boot back into hive. Take the working path, don’t lose time. 
It has never worked for me on hive if i flash a different bios on the card, always used windows to do this and it works everytime.
Not sure if it worked previously for others.
Yup, it did work every time, like back in March or so. Now It doesn’t.
I’ll just quit testing and use windows like shiretu mentioned.
Hi @Phk ,
i own a msi 3080 gxt as well.
im only getting 88-89 mh/s @ 935 (abs clock) 600 mem, 0 PL (auto adjust by hive since its absolute clock)
may i know what settings did you use to achieve 95mh/s @ 209W?
thanks!
you need to flash a strix or ftw3 bios first
without changing the BIOS, it’s actually a random shot.
I have three equal Gaming X cards. Using stock, one stays as 95, other at 92Mh, other at 85Mh.
In Windows, using stock vbios, I was able to set the 85Mh card to fixed 102.75Mh using Afterburned with settings:
In hive I haven’t been able to try the custom ROMs yet, but as you can see above FTW3 for ex. fixes the issue.
My hive cards are stuck with Suprim bios and I cannot change it because it hangs. I still haven’t figured how to boot Windows since it’s a headless 6cards rig…
Do your settings for stock vBios also work with the other MSI cards (95Mh & 92Mh) or it just work with the 85Mh card only?
Works perfect… thanks
