i have a radeon 6870 vapor x and while playing the elder scrolls v skyrim my graphics card fan sounds faster and i can hear a wooshing sound the sound a fan makes when speeding up is this normal and am i suppose to hear it a little
 
If your video card has an automatic adjustment on it for when the gpu gets hotter then the fan will speed up to compensate for the added heat in order to dissapate it. Yes you will certianly hear it.
