coil whine is caused by the GPU running at it's max frequency, and lower load.
What you can do, is adjust the power slider, to the point where the GPU frequency will lower by just a hair.
Just don't run them at maximum frequency.
Older GPUs, could experience the 1350Mhz lock, or crash even.
What might also help, if you're running linux, to type in terminal:
"sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 lgc 300,2050"
Where '0' is the first GPU on your motherboard (could be 1, 2 or more)
lgc= lock frequency (where possible)
300 is lower lock (best to keep it above 300, but you can set it to 200 or 150, if you want lower power consumption during idle)
2050 is the upper GPU clock speeds. 1935Mhz for older GPUs, 2150Mhz is the upper range for high binned GPUs, with the best cooling like the Asus Rog Strix.
As far as the RTX 3000 guestimate numbers go, based on rumors, and leaked specs,
The RTX 3000 series will come out with 2 mid range models, that roughly equal the performance of the 2080 Super, and 2080Ti.
By the end of the year, we're expecting the high end 3000 series GPU, which has 5k shaders, and 2,2Ghz boost speeds (possibly higher).
It will surpass the RTX Titan in terms of performance., but it will perform poorly on low atom count WUs.
I wouldn't actually use that one to fold, not until higher atom count WUs are created, and core 21 is disabled.
And by the beginning of next year, we're expecting a budget 3000 series that will perform between 2060 Super, and 2070 Super.
