Graphics Card Folding-Poll
easy question, if you have one card that doesnt and one that does you can specify in a reply
personally, my 9600GSOs as well as GTX260 both whine, GT240's/GTS250 do not
im curious if it is something to do with age, performance, or model

Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
My GTX260 does
Hardly been overlocked in it's life and I only game for an hour a week at most.
Sounds like the caps or something are making the noise, just like some CRT's do.

Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
Oddly enough there is no sound coming from my vid card...ever!
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
My 260, 275 and 285 both have a high pitch whine to them that is annoying as all can be.... When you overclock or change the shaders clock frequency the pitch changes higher or lower depending on if you raise or lower the MHz.
Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
No. My 8800GT doesn't whine but it is pretty loud. It goes at about 50% fan speed when folding.
Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
haha yeah, not to mention in benches too had the card in my sig @730/1275/1538 just a moment ago and it would start whining every time it went to fullscreen, and every time the scene changed in 3DM06 the noise would change frequencyApoptosis wrote:My 260, 275 and 285 both have a high pitch whine to them that is annoying as all can be....

Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
mine whines.
Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
They did when I first got them, I don't think they are as noticeable now though.
Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
My 8800GT whines like a pig and the pitch of the whiny depend its clockspeed. My other cards do not whine at all.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.
Re: Graphics Card Folding-Poll
I have that fanless Accelero on my 8800gt with a 120mm fan laying on top of it and have no noise
My GTX260 is loud when folding but I dont have any high pitch noises.
9600GSO has been out of the folding loop due to my one MB/CPU failure but I dont remember it being loud at all.
