It depends massively on the PSU, I used a CX750 for a week or two because G2 died, when I got my P2 the coil whine went from the GPU almost completely, in fact I think it has totally gone now. Coil whine can be annoying but only if I can hear it over my fan speed.

I have 1300w g2 but it needs to go back as the fan squeaks like crazy when it gets hot. Can't stand high pitched squeels.
Going hold fire and hope nvidia drop the ti prices when vega comes out
If you want a ti the best time is to get Volta
that is if you have a decent enough card now.

Great looking card this Gibbo

Volta AIB could be another year, nobody is sure on that and probably relates to Vega for having any impact or not. This is a competitor to Vega in effect, see news of bundles etc
Does coil whine should it be there at all, go away or vary after some use or is it consistent

Coil whine generally depends on how hard the card is working (So usually during higher fps game or if V sync is un ticked)
I had a card a few years ago that if in old games (ALA CS Go) with no Vsync would literally "sing" to me.
Wacking on V sync solved it.
Since going to a plat PSU and my 980 Ti never heard anything since, not sure which fixed it thou sorry.

I very much doubt we'll have to wait a whole year from now for Volta. I'm hoping end of year or early 2018.
My GTX780 whined like mad during Minecraft, and only Minecraft lol.
Your correct my post was maybe badly written "When working hard or at low effort games with high fps"
Maybe that makes more sense .

I blitz all my cards 4 hours a piece on Firestrike test and then unigine, pretty much kills any coil whine a card had when playing normal games, although never cures it on unigine haha

These are due today/tomorrow.
Remember pre-order ONLY price, once they land they are going up a few quid.
Argh, couldn't just wait until payday before bumping the prices?

Pre-order special was the clue.

Hmm, Gibbo's big black one still isn't as impressive as 8Pack's epic white one...11 inches
Might meet people half way with a THIS WEEK ONLY deal at £649 on Wednesday for the week.
