I think the GTX 970 is a bit of a downgrade on the 7800XT, but I'm guessing Borderlands 2 with Physx will run well
Which 5090 do you have on order?

Or you can sell it
I had a 3090 fe for a while and sold after few months due to the insane coil whine.

Even many of the system builders are having a hard time procuring 5090s.
Falcon Northwest is a high end boutique PC maker that has been around a long time. In less than 2 months, their 5090 systems have increased by $1000 for the same specs. They said that it's because they have to pay much more to get 5090s to build the systems on time.

Updated my original post, it should have said 970XT, which I think is still a bit of an upgrade on the 7800XTI think the GTX 970 is a bit of a downgrade on the 7800XT, but I'm guessing Borderlands 2 with Physx will run well

The 5090 is a Suprim (Air)
I've heard a lot of reports of coil whine on the FE, so I think even if you sent it back for a replacement you'd probably get it again.
My 3080 FE has it quite bad as well. I mainly use headphones for gaming though so it doesn't bother me too much.
9070xt is pretty much the perfect card for Ultrawide 3440x1440 (37% less than 4k). A 5090 is somewhat wasted on that resolution. It'll be around 32% faster than a 7800xt in raster, considerably faster in RT.

I think there are supposed to be some stress-routines you can run on a new card with bad coil whine that sometimes settle it down a bit. I'd try that before sending it back.
I've got a little on my Palit Gamerock 5090, but it's only really audible on menus and loading screens. If it's still there during actual gameplay (and I suspect it isn't) it's inaudible over fans anyway. I can live with that. It's nothing like my old 1080Ti FE, where you could play tunes by loading up Witcher 3 and spinning the camera.
Although I've heard people who have had it get less. I've never had any coil whine on my GPUs get less over time, so I personally wouldn't be too hopeful.
Same. Have had plenty of cards over the years with coil whine and tried plenty of fixes. Nothing alleviates it except sometimed undervolting, and it doesn't get better over time.
I found coil whine has improved a bit on my FE since I first got it.
It's also a lot less now I've modified the voltage curve which has also given it a performance boost whilst limiting the power to around 450w
Undervolt it, I had to do it on my FE 3080.
That is the last FE model I will try, I am only getting AIB cards now, better temps, coil whine, etc. from my experience.
This whole situation is rather crazy, dodgy power connector, missing ROPs bad supply and removal of key features and the demand for this is still so high. I just hope AMD start to eat into nvidias middle ground so they become less complacent in the future. Wishful thinking probably.. I am sure the 4090 / 3090 supply situation picked up faster than this, but could be just rose tints.
