why oh why does my graphics card make a high frequency whining noise when its doing something stressfull?
the pitch changes depending on how hard its working, hard work = higher pitch.
very bizzare

the fan changes speed depending on the load on the gpu. the higher whining is most likely the fan spinning faster

oooooh noo, this is deffinatly not a fan noise :P
it changes instantly, like for example if the ATItool cube is spinning
the frequency is directly in sync with the cube, if a face is showing its a higher frequency than a corner, it reeallly isnt the fan.

fairly 'normal' actually. Capacitor flexing its muscles is all..

I am sure this is what you are talking about. Check it out on Youtube and turn the volume up. I bet this is exactly what you are experiencing and it ain't normal.
