If the noise is fan noise, it is overheating. Open the case and blow the dust bunnies out of the case and GPU. If the problem still persists, it may be that by now after heavy gaming for long sessions, the thermal paste has dried out between the GPU and the heat sink. Remove the old and put new on.
