Static noise after graphics card upgrade RTX 2070

Hi, I have just upgraded my graphics card from GTX 770 to TRX 2070.

Since installing the new card when the graphics card is under load i get a loud static noise through my headset, Anyone know what the problem could be?

I already had a slight hiss in my headset but it was bearly noticable but since up the upgrade its really loud.

My Specs:

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150)
Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz
Antec High Current Gamer 620W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Soundblaster sound card
Roccat Kave 5.1 analog

Thanks

Might be time to get a USB or Optical DAC instead of the soundcard, likely picking up emi from the new card. Try the onboard audio to see if the problem persists.

I have switched over to onboard sound and it's much better but Is still there. The sound card I have it very close to the graphics card, I think that may be causing some on the noise.

Always keep sound card as far away from graphics card as possible.
In that board you just can't move it far, because of bad desing with those stone age PCI slots where they should have put smaller PCIe slots.

Would get a usb dac/headphone amp. What soundblaster do you have?
