I've found on all my cards it's not FPS dependant. I cap mine to 120. It must be less work to render at 1440p and upscale than to produce a native 4k imagine. Literally in all 9 of my cards with dlss quality on each card has been dead silent.

@Nexus18 can you weigh in on this?
I thought upscaling was GPU intensive if going high enough ala hogwarts from earlier.

I always test RDR2 as well as it brings out the whining/buzz the worst.
Lucky you. A Gaming OC 4090 no audible whine/buzz in RDR2 with quiet case fans. Are all settings maxed out and what FPS?
I had multiple Gaming OCs and settings maxed 8x MSAA at 1440p 90 to 120 fps it buzzes though not as bad as Asus.
Also same thing at 4K settings maxed with 2x MSAA and 67 to 95 fps.
Is your GPU usage near 100 percent and what is power usage? Mine has 375 to 410 watts with 2750MHz clock at stock.

Will be gpu intensive for sure but not to the same extent as the native upscaled res.

I have had a few of the Zotac 4080s and now the 4090 Supreme X. The Zotac's wine is noticeable but the fans are super annoying.
The MSI has coil wine but I prefer it over the loud fans on the other models. It seems like fine wine.

Yep Suprim X is a really nice looking card and the cooler is great and quiet. Happy with mine. You just have to be to ignore the really bad coil whine.
Or get lucky and get one like mine*

But can never ignore that horrible coil whine.
I am so sick of it I am thinking of trying hot glue warranty be darned. Anyone try it on a 4090 and had success?
I so badly want a whine/buzz free 4090 I am willing to risk damaging it and being out the money to get one as I am not broke and can afford a few $1700 to $1900 losses.
But want to make sure I do it right.

From what I've read no one has had success with hot glue method with a 40 series card. Maybe your best off paying for a second hand one that is coil whine free.

I'm guessing with bad coil whine that putting the PC under the desk does sweet **** all to ameliorate matters?

Well I actually put a post on Facebook like in early January and someone stated they had a whine free 4090 Gigabyte Gaming OC and were on fence about parting with it.
Thgey offered to come to my house and I could test it. I did and it had a bit of buizz/whine, though one of the better cards for sure, but a little too much. They insisted there was no whine with it in their PC running Timespy and benchmarks at same resolution.
They thought maybe it was my motherboard as I already tried a different power supply.
Then on January 1, I had an MSI Z690 Unify X and Corsair HX1200 and tried an MSI A100G both to no avail with many different 4090s.
I decided to switch mobos to an Asus Z790-A Strix and Power Supply to eVGA Supernova T2 1600. I asked the guy if he still wanted to sell the card and now he stated he fell in love with it and does not want to lol. Though not tested and will not be able to on my new mobo and PSU as they fell in love with it anyways.
But I switched to Asus board as I have heard better reports of no coil whine on 4090s with Asus mobos and wondered if they mix and match better with 4090s in general except Asus 40-90s which I have seen reports of whining like a bitch on Asus boards, but surprisingly whine free and insisting high load and power draw and side panel off with lots of different non-Asus 4090s on middle end to high end Asus X570, Z690 and Z790 boards.
Does anyone know if there's any truth to the rumour that NVidia are going to limit 4090 supplies? https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lousy...e-towards-the-US-1-200-offering.696049.0.html
@Gibbo is this something you've come across?

Two competitors (that may be the same company) have significantly reduced their 4090 availability and stock. There could be an element of truth to it.

Probably just another sales tactic.

Horrible evil move by them if true. Unless and I repeat unless unless they are going to make every single one completely devoid of any coil whine if thats what it takes to have less supply so they can get rattle/whine free coils and inductors that cost more and thus have less supply.
But no that is not what they will do. They are doing it to be greedy and we live with a whine lottery where most have whine anyways!!
Not even big bad Intel intentionally limits supplies of their latest CPUs to consumers. Why the heck would NVIDIA unless they need to for better whine free inductors and coils.

If true, I don’t blame them the market is flooded with 4090s looking at availability it makes sense to lower output to align with demand.
because (Jensen+shareholders) ^ greed = LOL@consumers.

What market flooded with them? NewEgg and various online retailers sell out fast and choices are limited at MSRP prices.
How in the world is the market flooded with them. They are still in short supply and many scalpers are selling a couple hundred markup on cards. No supply shortage not nearly as bad as 3000 series 1-2 years ago, but they are still a little short and by no means is market flooded with them or there would be pick of liter of like every brand at NewEgg and my local MC, none of which is true. IN fact my local MC has like 1 or 2 in stock now the crappy fan Zotac (Still has somewhat mild but too mcuh chainsaw coil whine) and the chainsaw whining sounding Asus Tuf.

I'm talking about UK retailers, they are readily available everywhere and have been for quite some time.
