It's possible. I've opened up a support thread, and I've only had it since Wednesday. Well within 14 days return window.
On the other hand, leaves me with my original issue. What to do about replacing a 7850.

Could be coil whine or similar.
However the solution to that you may not like - which would be to buy a newer/better quality PSU.

Yep sounds like coil whine. Just do the toilet roll ear trumpet test !
Are you using onboard sound, a sound card or USB headphones ?
Soldato
1660ti might be better for you as lower power need and less power connectors needed i think just 1x 8 pin isnt it and probably wont have coil whine as ive never had a nvidia cause it before. Its not quite as good as 56 but close enough.

This.

Its not the metal edges near the jack of the motherboards audio output touching the headphone jack is it thats causing the noise? Or something like that?
Not that I can see.
And this blows the budget completely out the water. I went slightly over what I was planning anyway, and with an additional quality PSU it's not so much smudged the budget as drawn over it with crayon?

Tried a older driver perhaps? I think i saw in the 56 owner thread that some ppl had a whine and a older driver fixed it somehow.
Soldato
Yeah I think your problem is the onboard sound and the PSU.

Says he has the pulse and the same psu as you and experienced whine too.
Then he says this later at the end of the thread.

Maybe ask him what tweaks he did that reduced the whine?
I have a feeling if you can cap the fps it might help the whine as i believe this happens when fps goes crazy high like at loading screens. So either cap or maybe turn vsync on and see if that way of capping helps it? Could be wrong tho.

Which is fair enough, but people did try and warn you that the PSU really needed to be replaced.
If you'd bought a high-end Nvidia card (or even a RX570 etc) it could still equally have had coil whine.
If the budget was really that tight than an RX570/580/590 and a new PSU would have been a better option.
Capping (e.g. via Rivatuner) or turning on Vsync will reduce it in these situations (e.g. older games like CSGo that run at 200fps+), but likely won't eliminate it completely.
I don't believe he has the same issue. With my ear right next to the graphics card, on full abuse mode, all I hear is the fans. The noise *only* appears via analogue headphones, plugged into the headphone socket. Powered speakers plugged into the same socket don't pick up the problem.
Very much doubt that. The RX570 has a lower TDP then the V56, and it's only in top 25-30% of operation that it's observable. Call it 150W? Heck, the RX570 has a lower TDP than my old card, a legacy 7850.
Sadly, no. 570-590 would gain me a 125-200% improvement, at a cost of £200-£300. Compare that value proposition against a Vega 56 at £270, and 315% improvement. That's *half* the value. At that point, is it even worth doing?
Hell, I could get a 5700XT at ~400, which is (aprox) 400-415% better than the 7850, at a better value point then the 570/80/90. If there is *value* there, my budget is weird and could be made to accomadate. But a new PSU in the hope it fixes an issue that may well not be coil whine, because no one else seems to have only whine on headphones.
And the 5700XT has a similar TDP to the R56, to boot!

Ah ok so maybe try cheap soundcard or maybe if ur monitor has a headphone jack plug em in there instead as im sure audio is carried to ur monitor through the hdmi and possibly DP port if thats what ur using provided ur monitor has speakers and some audio outputs for headphones?
Suppose u can try turning the impedience down on the drivers for onboard sound incase there amped or something?
Does your motherboard have a audio header to allow audio jacks on ur case to be used if u have any and maybe plug headphones in them instead of the back of the case ports?
Have u also tried disabling the gpu audio device through sound manager?
But in any case its defo not the gpu its just probably a bad emi interfearence carried on the audio possibly a ground issue.
I used this search and found a few links i think u might wana have a read up on.

Noted for future testing.
Good thought, but not an option. Speakers are also using simple audio jack. Move headphones to that port, same issue.
Hmm, looked, can't find an option for this.
It does, both have same issue. Case perhaps slightly worse, but within margin of human estimate.
Tried it, no change.
Hmmm, provisionally agree, with the caveat that the V56 appears to put out significantly more than my previous card. But assuming that's the case, the solution is replace motherboard/CPU/PSU, probably?
Read, noted, but mostly the solutions appear to be "BUY MORE STUFF". I do not like this solution - EMI is a known thing, card makers shouldn't be building deliberately broken products.
Tried and failed.

In case it doesn't come across, I'm gratefull for all suggestions. But I'm off work with D/V, and not exactly in the best frame of mind to be dealing with this!
