So i noticed recently that when i start the game (Far Cry 4) the loading screen and companies logo intros run at 1000+Fps according to the Nvidia display, at first i found it funny until i realized that a really high pitched noise was coming from my usually quiet Case, but once i start the game and the FPS go back to normal the sounds disappears, i would describe the sound as an electrical sound, high pitched not very loud but annoying and has that "electric coil" feel.
My guess would be that the game, for whatever reason, makes the card and the fans to exert themselves beyond necessary thresholds when running the intros, or when there isn't really a need for it.
I wouldnt mind normally but the noise is quite unsettling and because i cant skip all those different company logos it makes me afraid that the game might destroy the fans or (resistors?) some electric component with the repeated start ups just because some settings might be off or, god forbid, bugged.
My System Components is as follows:
Processor: I7-6700K 4.00Ghz
Ram Memory: 32 Gb
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 1080Gtx Zotac Amp Extreme!
and i dont see how the rest would be relevant, i have 2 SSD and 1 HDD the game is installed in the HDD (now that i think about it, it could be a hard drive problem, maybe it starts reading at a higher speed than the one originally supported? )
Thanks in Advance for any possible solution.
easy to fix
add -skipintro
to your command line
the game will load faster and you do not have to see the Nvidia or Ubi opening screens
i'll post a link to the instructions as soon as i find the page
look on this page http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry...p_intro_videos
also contact Nvidia or Zotac .. as what it sounds like is a bad driver problem or a bad GPU , if it was the game it would happen on all Nvidia GPU's
and my factory overclocked Asus Strix GTX 960 i hear no coil whine from or have any weirdness with my fans
one thing of note is Nvidia did recently release bad drivers for the 1070 and 1080 cards ..that affected power issues with both GPUs
if i paid that much to buy a GTX 1080 id run DDU in windows safe mode ... perform a clean install with the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia webpage
if it still made noise . i'd be shipping that 1080 right back to Zotac for warranty repair
coil whine is not always normal ..and some times can indicate you possibly got a card that has a manufacturing defect ..had that ussue a few yrs ago on my old ASUS AMD R 9 270 X when i'd put a load on it ...it made a high pitched coil whine sound ..sent it back to asus under warranty .. they sent me a new card ..that made no coil whine noise
these days your playing the silicon lottery with the video cards it seems
