My current GPU is a used 980, it's mostly ok but it makes noises when doing certain tasks for some reason (like scrolling a browser window), I'm really not sure what causes it but it's put me off buying second hand cards, if it fails there's not much you can do to fix it
- orliesaurus 5y agoI use 980Ti too - i'm lighting 6 candles on the cake this year...It keeps me warm at night and during the winter. I am surprised it's still working after 6 years of daily use with that TDP and heat released.
- bavell 5y agoMy 970 is still limping along... kinda hilarious that it's paired with a 5950x in my new workstation. I'm impressed it can still play modern games pretty decently on my 1440p monitor although usually I've gotta dial it down to medium gfx settings. Gonna try to hold out till next gen, crossing my fingers supply issues have been sorted out by then.
- Semaphor 5y agoI’m running an RX 470, since I upgraded one of my monitors to QHD, it has been having some issues. Luckily, I hate action games, don’t care much about high-end graphics, and grew up with 30 FPS as target ;) Some day I’ll be able to upgrade to a new budget GPU.
- initplus 5y agoIt’s just coil whine, not really worth worrying about. Happens on many graphics cards even when brand new.
- laputan_machine 5y agoI've just looked this up and it's exactly that noise, at least I know what it is now, thanks.
- bserge 5y agoNoises? As in fan noises or GPU/VRM/component noises? If it's the former, repaste it and grease the fan, if it's the latter, it's normal (except when caused by overheating, in which case repaste/grease).
