Yep they can have coil whine too mine does. Users just need to accept coil whine comes as standard with 7900XTX/4090 these days.
Has it got to the stage that every GPU whines loudly now?
I have a 6600XT that doesn't and the other half's 3060TI does a bit in menus but not in games, but the 4070 I just bought her absolutely screams, audible in game over the case fans and the desktop speakers.
The only previous card I had with obnoxious coil whine was a Vega 64, is loud coil whine just to be expected now?
I was going to get a 7900XT for me but I probably won't bother if so - we're in our 40s now and we don't really care about top tier performance, we just felt like an upgrade.

For high end GPUs, yes it has. High end would probably be 7900XT/4080 and upwards. Certainly most 7900 XTX and 4090 whine. I’ve tested loads of both and although the 4090 was worse in almost all cases, they had all whine to some degree.
Low end GPUs generally can't spit out enough FPS to have bad coil whine.

Can confirm Afterburner 4.6.5 Final now includes power monitoriung for 7900XT/XTX. Prior to that was using the HWinfo plugin for Afterburner, but it was slower to update the power numbers in the overlay.
Thanks - I was afraid of that.
It's a shame, I used to really enjoy PC hardware back when I was young - went AIW Radeon, 8500, 9500 Pro, X800XL, X1900XTX in what was then my ATI system. Now I'm old and if the PC's going to scream at me I'm not interested.
Wait a few more years and you won't be able to hear itThanks - I was afraid of that.

My ears are the only bit of me that's not falling apart - those ultrasonic cat scarers work on me!Wait a few more years and you won't be able to hear it
With regard to the whine how bad is it if you limit them via adrenaline/nvidia equivalent? reason I ask is I have a 6800 but may jump on a 7900XT at the end of the year and as I limit my 6800 to 120 I never hear any coil whine.

Capping the FPS (below 150) removes it tbf on my 7900 XTX Nitro.
Brilliant, I am running 1440p anyway and will do for the next few years until I can afford a very good 4k monitor so it sounds like capping a 7900XT to 150FPS will cause me no issues.
Really contemplating getting a 7900xtx to replace the 3090 for 1440p UW. It's only at 4k the 4090 really excels so i think the 7900xtx should be a decent upgrade over the 3090.
Anyone here done the same, whats your feelings, thoughts on it?

We are now £749
Awesome. So the Nitro has 1 year more warranty than the reference sapphire I see from the product pages. Is that correct?
I'd personally skip and wait for next generation from both as a 3090 as quite a lot of horsepower.
Correct.
I suppose we're only another year and abit out before 5000 series and whatever AMD brings. More worried about future pricing, if it carries on it really will be game over.
It's quite a saving on the nitro tbf, even better if it was 999
Yeh, it looks like a good card. I intend to keep it a while so the extra years warranty is probably worth it and 20 GB should last a reasonable amount of time.
How do you mean 999?
