Is this normal? I've never had these buzzing noises for 4 years and suddenly my GPU started making loud noises whenever I play games.
Had it when I first bought my old 2070, it was fine some games and unbearable with others, you just got unlucky, stress test your GPU next time you buy one
Not normal for it to start out of nowhere after years. Unless you started doing something different. I replayed Fallout 2 again earlier this year and it made my card whine incredibly hard. Haven't played a game that caused whine for years but Fallout 2 really set it off.
>>722566101seems very odd for something as old as fallout 2 to stress your gpu enough to whine
>>722565590It's normal.Some people are lucky and get one without whining. My last card was loud as fuck, but I fixed it by playing around with an undervolt. My current card very mildly whines when I start old games or have a game menu running uncapped at insane FPS. Back then they covered the coils in a special epoxy that would neutralize the vibrations, but that costs time and around $0.007, so manufacturers skip the step.
>>722566272It was something to do with the resolution mod. Probably uncapping the framerate so it was running at 2000 fps or something.I actually ended up not running the mod and just running in the developer intended 640x480 for True 1998 Immersion so it'd shut up.
>>722566272If the framerate is uncapped and your GPU is rendering 500 frames per second or whatever it will probably make some weird noises.
>>722566427>>722566462ah yeah uncapped frames would definitely do that, lmao. had a friend recently complain that he was having issues running deadlock after a couple games where it would just start locking up his whole computer, and turns out he had the framerate uncapped even though he's only got a 60hz monitor, so he was just running his system at 100% the entire time and frying everything. put a limiter on and fiddled with a few other settings and suddenly everything works fine even after extended play, whodathunk it
welcome to the age of high wattage mass produced cheap chink components, everything coil wines now.
>>722565590The only time I ever heard it was the original release of STALKER at the menu (ingame was fine). Remaster doesn't do it, though.
>>722565590It's normal, and it's especially noticeable when you run LLMs
