It's coil whine which is a phenomenon in electricity where the coil vibrates due to the current. This produces a whine or screech kind of sound. This whine is perfectly normal and expected in most cards.

If you believe your whine is louder than a conversation or basically loud enough to disrupt you, you could attempt to RMA the product to get one that's slightly better. But a new one would also whine, just maybe not as bad.

Otherwise, just keep vsync on and the card won't whine as bad if it's getting 60fps instead of processing 100fps+ which is a waste in some ways with a 60hz monitor.

Yes Darrel, as said in opener i recognized VSync eliminates the coil whine, but produces input lag for my wheel which is a no go! PrecisionX is a nice tool, set FPS to 60 and yes, coil whine "and" tearing is gone in rFactor2. In pCARS and Assetto Corsa there's still some tearing but i'm ok with it so far. It's just some slighty grey bars rolling down the screen most able to recognize on dark backrounds like cockpit ingame. But i guess this could be also depending on Games itself?! Anyways, need to buy me a new screen in nearly future with higher Hz and problem should be gone. Thanks for your replies guys, now i'm gone and having some fun with my new great GPU 😉
