I've tried it here (similar framerates with everything maxed and DLSS4+MFG. I was impressed by how little ghosting there is - big improvement over earlier DLSS versions here. There's a touch of artifacting visible at times. I did notice a bit of input lag, though - more than with standard frame generation. I'm quite sensitive to input lag, so it very much gets a mixed scorecard from me.

My heavily modded Witcher 3 looks absolutely amazeballs with the 5090. I don't know how a 10 year old game can look so good.
4k all settings ultra+, RT ultra and its using 20gb of vram lol - 235fps (150fps 1% low).
My screen gently weeps.

I've heard my fair share of coil whine, so I know exactly how that sounds.
The fact you say it is off-putting in a wide selection of games says it all. I think your options are limited. I doubt you will be able to exchange it (as someone else said), but you could return it and purchase an AIB card if you are patient and don't mind coughing up a bit more money....
Folks 5090 Palit fan noise annoying, so I tried an undervolt: (https://old.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1jaz2yq/5090fe_undervolt_guide_better_than_stock_at_450w/)
Temps down 8 Celsius, fan 200 rpm. FPS no obvious change. Game, Indiana Jones, fine for about 90 mins the game just shut down and disappeared completely? Is this most likely the undervolt? Never tried this before and any advice welcome. Latest drivers, 4k.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting this guide. Initial results look good with my FE. Need to give it a proper test though.
I've been running around Cyberpunk with MFG on. Yes, there is a touch of input lag, but my god, this game is almost 4.5 years old and with path tracing maxed and a framerate so high it's not worth counting, it looks absolutely phenomenal. CDPR have been absolute gods of engine tech, which really makes it a crying shame they're going with UE5 for Witcher 4.
The engine for when "meh" is good enough.
Still got terrible texture pop-in though. One of the worst games for it.

Spoke to Scan this morning..
They said that I can return it and they will test it and then if found faulty then they will add me to the front of the pre-order queue for the 5090FE.
So next time there is a drop of the FE then I would get a card, however they have no idea when this is likely to be.
Said I could be waiting up to 3 months for a replacement card.
Do you have access to another PC to try it out on in case its just a combination with your PSU/Motherboard causing it. If its fine on another PC then at least you can consider flogging it and getting an AIB or changing the PSU.
Im surprised someone like Gamers Nexus haven't done some testing on GPU's with coil whine with other components to see if they can make a difference.

Loud coil whine on an expensive GPU is absolutely unacceptable and your only option is to send it back. You're not going to make it go away and the longer you hold on to it, the more you risk being unable to return it under 14 days distance selling. If you can convince the retailer it's 'faulty' they will obviously pay your return postage, if not, you will have to pay it and return under distance selling (use Royal Mail, everyone else charges obscene amounts for insurance).
I feel your pain, I had to send back a 5080 for loud coil whine. GPU manufacturers need to get their **** together, coil whine is a SOLVED problem.

My PSU is the Corsair AX1000 Titanium Rated PSU.
Motherboard is the ASUS X870E Hero.
Also use this cable - https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/p/pc-..._bi6OnrvDyb5U1g-QuZIrgdopS1pB89kaAvdvEALw_wcB

I don't like it when game developers givbe up their own engine and go with conventional alternatives like Unreal Engine. From my perspective, the more games use tfhe same engine the more games look alike. I prefer diversity in visual/artistic respresentations, and they might rearrange polygons here and there, but playing games with identical engine creates this common vibe "I've seen that many times already".
Could end up sending 50 back all with the same whine. Just put on headphones and get on with it tbh.
Probably because it's unlikely to change much and is a very common thing on GPUs. I've had coil whine on the past 3 of my gpus, nothings changed it or fixed it. Through every single gpu I changed other parts through natural upgrades including power supplies, no change to the whine. I've tried undervolting too, didn't help.
The only thing that helps is capping frames in problem places like old games, menus or logos.
If you look at guru 3d reviews which do mention coil whine, all the 5090s seem to have got it to various degrees from what I saw. Even the lower models have. I think it's just become common due to the power were running through cards.
The other issue is it's hard to review. You kinda need the same person same case same setup to test for it. Even ignoring different psus, just a different case can dampen noise more. Plus everyone's hearing is different, especially as you get older and/or you listen to audio loudly too much or you have a loud job. Mine is very good so I've always thought that's why I can notice it instantly.
Didn't somebody here do something like that with the 4090 over coil whine, to the extent that they got blocked by a couple of retailers?
I think it's pretty common in this community for people to be hypersensitive to certain sounds and so they can't just get over it.

I think it is mainly due to not ever having a card with coil whine before..
My Zotac 4090 never had it and people normally say Zotac are *****.
Most likely, yes. If you open the Event Viewer in Windows and go to the System section, you'll probably find you had an Nvidia driver crash which then recovered. Undervolts can be a little tricky in terms of stability and also be stable in one game and not in another. Just creep the voltage up by a single step at the same clock speed and go again. If you end up getting another random crash at some point, bump it up one more step. Rinse and repeat until you've gone weeks/months without any problems and you're likely fully stable. Personally, I'd also reboot as standard after a driver crash as it will frequently continue to behave in a funky way even if it "recovered" from it. And if all that sounds like too much of a faff, just increase the voltage back up in bigger increments.
That's been my experience too. Motherboards and PSUs can be the thing emitting coil whine, but changing one has never affected coil whine actually coming from a graphics card for me. Nor has it ever gone away over time. Hell, I've bought cards used that've had a whole lifetime of use before I got my hands on them and they still had coil whine (terribly so in some cases, like an R9 Fury I once owned). I had to send my 3080 FE back after spending so much time trying to get one as the noise was just insufferable.
I know some people also say that a degree of coil whine is inevitable, but I've had cards without it. That includes the 4070 Ti Super (Asus TUF model) that I'm currently using. It has absolutely none, even with the case open and my ear next to the card. It's wonderful.
Thanks very much for the advice, I'll try that.
