GTX 680 Whine???

[shrek2]

Hi
I have the Inno3d 680 herculez and I get a whine coming from the card when playing Battlefield 3. Does anyone else have this problem? Its not loud at all but audible and its slightly irritating.

With case door off I can hear something very faint, but I'm not sure if it's turbulence or coil whine.

The only time I have heard definite coil whine so far is in the credits screen for heaven 3.0 @ over 5000 fps

i thought the whine was only on AMD cards?

I've down clocked the card and its still there. Maybe I should rma it?

^^loads of electronic devices whine to some degree

^Is it possible to return it under dsr?

Have you got vsync turned off in BF3? some cards seem to whine when vsync turned off.(i use adaptive and have noticed some but not that often)

Adaptive vsync? I have never heard of that before. I'll try that now.

Turn triple buffering off too if you going to use adaptive.
