Coil whine (I think) - sometimes

I have a 3950x, 570board, 32gb Ram and a 1080ti. The 1080ti and my power supply (1000W corsair) are from my previous system. I never heard any coil whine before. When I fired up Divinity 2 I could clearly hear it. I think it's from the gfx card, but not 100% sure. The frequency changes as the camera changes, which I think rules out the power supply. The thing is when I run it in full screen window mode and select the desktop, the whine goes away (as does the sound from the game). This does not make sense as everything is still being rendered (game not minimized). I removed my Creative soundcard and am now using the motherboard sound (MSI Meg X570 Unify), and I still hear the whine. I disconnected all fans except for my cpu fan (Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 4) - still get the whine. Everything in the system is high-end and I never heard the gpu whine before. It's in a Bequiet 801 case - I really want a quiet system... so this is VERY annoying.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
