Is it normal for my Sea Hawk 980Ti to make loads of noise when playing games

Just got my Sea Hawk 980 Ti and installed Aliens tonight and put everything on ultra and wow the Noise coming from my Graphics card is loud ! like a screeching sound , it changes pitch depending on where I am looking in the game , is this normal ?

Is that the water moving around faster ?

 

[jasonsony735]

So its normal then ? If that's the case I'll just have to noise seal my case lol problem solved

 

[jasonsony735]

I would not have thought so

Seems a daft ? but is this with only the one game?

Is it quiet at idle - is it a problem that occurs as you ramp it up?

Its only done it on Alien Isolation on Ultra settings , it doesn't do it on the Witcher 3 Ultra or GTA Ultra ! very odd.

It's silent on idle , and the above games on ultra but not Alien Isolation. I'll play around with the settings and see if I can stop the whine noise , its bloody loud thou , sounds like the cards going to blow up.

I'll go check and see , my guess is high , Just put everything on low and still the same loud whine when moving around.

145 FPS on ultra settings


PROBLEM SORTED !

I've forced it to play at 60 FPS and the crazy whine is gone whooooooop ...... Didn't know high FPS makes your graphics card trip out ! lol

 

[jasonsony735]

I have no idea but it only does it when a game is running at over 120 FPS & only Alien Isolation ..... I have put V-Sync to stop the issue.

 

[jasonsony735]

Can someone else with a sea Hawk try out Alien Isolation on 1440 RES with no 60 fps Lock tell me what there's does please ?

I will try some older games tonight and see if it makes this noise with high FPS or if its just Aliens.

I'm pretty sure if you buy any product online within 14 days you have the right to return it no matter what.

If its normal for Graphics cards to whine then I'll keep it as its no a massive issue and it doesn't effect the game or graphics . I've found another game it does it pretty bad on also , Dying Light running on max running around 30 / 50 fps , loads whine on this also.
