Coil whine is weird; I only have it in select situations like Resident Evil games. Other than that, I never really hear it. It's hard to test for exhaustively, but man I hate it. Furmark is pretty good at teasing out coil whine at high load.

I'm torn between not giving a poo poo what other people do with the money or the things they buy fairly with it, and feeling very slightly put-out at the scarcity of a luxury computer part that lets me play video games slightly better during a global pandemic that's killed a two million people and is responsible for about a third of our national unemployment rate. So, you know, priorities and all that. Manageably miffed, let's call it.

Tried tweaking the clocks and voltage but no dice. Yeah furmark is what I'm using, also notice that i can drag the window size and the coil whine will actually change pitch depending on how big the window is.

Oh poo poo, I might be able to procure an ASUS TUF 3080 through a vendor of ours at work for just a bit over MSRP. Would be paying just under $700 for it. I'm waiting to hear back if they have them in stock now.

You could also try setting a frame rate limit to your monitor’s refresh rate, as some games have menus that run at 2000+ FPS which will often make cards whine. Undervolting makes a big difference for some people, you said you tried tweaking the voltage already but it’d be worth attempting a full scale undervolt if you haven’t already.

Or if you live in an old rear end apartment like me, the current from the wall is unreliable garbage. Try getting a UPS and see if it helps. Also fwiw my 3080FE had coil whine at high framerates at the beginning but it’s gone away now (or at least not as audible). Couldn’t hurt to leave Furmark on for a long while to see if it helps.

While gaming it's a non issue, it's not loud enough to overtake my speakers, it's while I'm just dicking around in windows browsing the internet, with all the fans in my pc off, and sure I can crank the case fans and it's less noticeable but still noticeable enough. I haven't tried undervolting wouldn't that be gimping the card's performance? Twerkdad posted:Or if you live in an old rear end apartment like me, the current from the wall is unreliable garbage.

Okay I thought so.. the guy said there'd be a 3% markup which I scoffed at because even still compared to current prices that would be a no-brainer, but when he came with the $686 price I couldn't believe it. Still not convinced it's not too good to be true but man that would kick rear end. The head of our IT dept is the one who has the vendor hookup and they were able to get him a 3090 so I know it CAN be done, so fingers crossed.

Either undervolting or doing furmark burn-in for the last 8 hours may have fixed the whine while idling thing, it still does it in pbr donut test in furmark, but I can live with it doing it in games as long as it's not doing it in windows while it's quiet, but I'm sure that as soon as I press submit reply it'll start up again.

What power plan settings do you have in the NCP and in Windows? If they’re set to high performance, try setting them to balanced (or ‘Normal’ I think in NCP).

As others have said, it could be a 3070 he's miss-quoting you, or he actually means he'll sell it to you at 3% over their cost. It wouldn't surprise me if cost to retailers for a $700 card is ~$670, which would both about meet the 3%/$686 number and match with the general bitching we've seen about thin profit margins. Either way, if it's a 3080 buy that immediately. If it's a 3070...at $686 it's not even a bad price (MSRP is $650 and they're hard to find).

So I've had my evga 3080 xc3 gaming black since about 10 November and I just want to talk about it a bit. My other specs are Ryzen 3600 and 16gb ram, and 2 ssd's for games. I can't hear any noise from my card at all. it runs at 40-65 (40 degrees idle right now) I don't really overclock it, I have MSI afterburner and have a saved OC setting of +139 core +150 memory, and apply it sometimes and sometimes not. I haven't tested higher overclocks, I don't really care too much. Anyway it is good, and I like it, and I can finally play FPS games on my 1440p@144hz monitor. BUT. I can't play anything at 144hz on high settings, really. Here are a couple of figures I get: Hitman 2, max, 90 fps COD: blops cold war: 110 or so with ray-tracing off and about 70 with it on (I can't remember, but this is about right), otherwise most settings are max but I think I may have turned one or two down. On the other hand, sekiro couldn't get over 100FPS at 480p on my 980 card, so this is a massive improvement! I also just plain couldn't play FPS games at 1440p after upgrading my monitor from 1920x1200. But I just want to point out that you can't run everything on max at 1440p even with the 3080. It's a good card! I like it! But I also think ray-tracing is pretty much a scam i.e. not worth buying a card for. If you have a 10 or 20 series and you get decent FPS with it (over 60 in my opinion) then don't upgrade. Also I just plain cannot notice any FPS increases over about 60 or 70, even with my 144hz monitor. I couldn't notice them before but I also never had a 144hz monitor before. I do try to get my FPS as high as possible for multiplayer FPS's, on the off-chance that an FPS increase I don't notice, will still make me play better. But I really can't tell if you ask me. Also: g-sync on/off is absolutely not 'night and day'. I'm writing this in the hopes that it makes some people stop panicking and trying to buy a card, and realise that what they have might be good enough already. But I can say for sure that my 980 was not cutting it with a 1440p screen.

https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-perfor...t-off-settings/quote:A lot of PC gamers were worried about The Medium the moment Bloober Team revealed its official PC system requirements. After all, and instead of targeting 60fps gaming, those requirements targeted 30fps gaming. And, similar to Bloober’s previous game, Blair Witch, The Medium has major performance/optimization issues on the PC right now.
