3090 is properly seated and secured.
12 month old RM850x
2 seperate power cables from PSU.
even tried the original Corsair power cables instead of the sleeved Corsair power cables.
it buzzes the same. Warzone, black ops, insurgency sandstorm.

Wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole. Lol. Plus you know me, I am a TNA man.Shame you dont do 4K8KW10 mate!?..
Laptop one as you know is nothing like desktop. I have a 2060 or 2070 in my Laptop and it just about does what a 1070 desktop does. Lol. Silly naming schemes by Nvidia.
I am about to resume playing RDR2 soon, should be easy to do with DLSS. I mean it was not hard doing it with a few tweaks in settings when I had a 3080 and back then there was no DLSS, so should be super easy now.
Trouble is, most people want to whack everything on highest and then when they can’t get it to do 4K60 they think oh I need a new graphics card. But spend 5 minutes turning off crap that actually lowers image quality, maybe a lower setting or two that makes **** all difference to image quality when actually playing where you need screenshots to see the difference and voilà job done.
Will take a look at my settings soon and post back.
My 3090 FE have coil whine too, didn't notice at the beginning but suddenly buzzing noise became very loud for few weeks.
I did took the card out to check and reconnected all cables (tested with card 12 pin adapter to 2 separate 8 pin cables, Corsair 12 pin gpu cable) but nothing change, then after a while the loud buzzing noise became less noticeable, I still can hear buzzing while gaming but only notice if you attention and get very close the case.

FWIW, neither my 3060Ti-FE or 3080FE have coil whine, gaming or mining..
wont get coil whine in mining, think it only happens when the card is fully stressed , I had 3080fe with excessive whine only in benchmarks/ gaming not in mining the replacement also has it but isnt as bad and most of it gets drowned out when the fans kick in during gaming also undervolting really lowers it
Soldato
I need to look into undervolting mine, with energy prices set to start moving I might knock the mining on the head and tweak the card properly.
The 3060 non ti are no better then 2060 supers 4K would be a struggle.

Tried that already. The whine/ buzz can be heard from 3 meters away over the fan noise.
send it back or sell it.

Yep. It’s all I need as all I do is single player stuff. No twitch gaming.
@Sarge2255 - For quick test I set the main preset to ultra, only turned off motion blur, no DLSS and in game I was getting 40-50fps. Did a benchmark and that got average 51.9fps (keep in mind my gsync is in so max is 60). The low was 37.3 in benchmark.
With that I can confidently say one could tweak it to make it playable without even with DLSS. If you use DLSS then there is no reason one can’t do 4K60 solid. So yeah, the 3070 is a very capable 4K card if you don’t need silly fps. Will play 99.9% of games just fine. Now if you need 144fps then that is another story, even a 3090 can’t do that though as you would need like more than double the grunt for that and the gap between the 3070 and 3090 ain’t that big.

Agree. Also feedback on the RDR2 as I am waiting for price to drop below £30 and may play this title now I have a decent GPU!

I picked it up for less than that ages ago. All you need to do is keep an eye out for steam wallet someone wants to get rid of due to selling skins so they can gift it to you at a discount price or buy discounted steam gift cards. I think it was £33 on steam back then, but due to discounted steam credits it was less then £30 really
First I help you sourcing your 3090 FE, now games for it

From what I hear, I reckon you would be really happy with a 3080 / 3090 considering you are getting so much out of a 3070

Genuiniely didnt know about steam gifting - still seems a bit dodgy but happy to listen to your coaching again!
I tried the cd key sites and never seen it under £30 to be fair. As it has been out AGES I was hoping it would be more like £20 by now!
just looked cheapest I found is £26.41

Why is that?
I already had a 3080 and sold it for massive profit to CEX when they were offering £1600+. The 3070 has performed surprisingly well, enough so that I do not miss the extra 20% performance of the 3080. To be fair I am not the most demanding gamer. I just like my image quality, but do not need high fps to have fun.
