I bought this 3090 and not only is it crashing MSFS 2020 (which is what I bought it for in the first place) but it's making a crazy whistling noise under load.
Actually, I don't really know if it's the GPU. Everyone is telling me it's coil whine, but all the videos detailing this sound nothing like what I'm experiencing. To be honest, it sounds more like an alarm sound.
The problem persists regardless of if I limit the framerate, turn vsync on or off, etc. The card benchmarks show that it is pushing serious frames regardless, so I am wondering if it is even the GPU?
I undervolted the card to 925mV, which seems to have reduced the issue but it did not eliminate it.
I am thinking of buying a larger 1200W PSU to add to the case. Before I do that I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has any sage advice. I made a video detailing the issue. Any feedback is appreciated:
