Is it normal for a Video Card to sound like a hard drive?

I just bought an MSI HAWK 5770 Video Card, and when I run 3D apps and games, after a few minutes, it starts to sound like a hard drive (fan noise). It's not terribly loud....is it supposed to make that noise, or should I RMA it?

since it has 2 fans it shouldn't b making that much of noise...cos 2 fans are doin the job instead of one..so lower rpm...and lower noise level... well this is wat i've heard from my frnds who own such kinda gfx cards.. so i think ur card is gettin too much heated up that both of them are goin to high rpm..make sure that there is enough airflow in the cabinet..
