Hi all guys,
I finally got tired of using an old PC that couldn't even run UT3 decently so I built myself a new computer for the new Unreal Engine
I chose a Zotac GTX 970 4GB video card, which seemed like a good card in the price range I was looking at (I got it for 330€).
I am very happy with its performance (I have yet to try some of the more recent games but I tried the first Crysis with everything maxed out and I have yet to see any framerate issue) but I am experiencing some coil whine (a high-pitched noise coming from the GPU) in some games/applications (UE4 editor is one of these unfortunately...).
It's not very loud but it is pretty noticeable.
From what I read it is a pretty common issue with mid/top range video cards, did any of you guys experience coil whine as well? Did you live with it or sent the card back under warranty?
I am undecided on whether I should try my luck at getting a replacement (possibly getting one that whines even worse?) or just learn to live with it...
