    Would any1 be kind and try start Crysis demo with Vsync forced off with their 8800GT. What I'm wondering if you hear any electrical squeeling high pitched coil noise and how audible it is in that case due to the FPS getting very high, my 7900GTO with prerender limit at the default setting 3 with vsync off the FPS gets about 2500 during the intro animations/ads and it's very audible, setting prerender limit to 0 slows down the FPS to around 1000 though and it's only very faint noise. I plan on getting a 8800GT but if the noise will be even worse then I don't know if I could stand it as my 7900GTO is at the limit what I find comfortable already.

    Since 8800GT is quite a lot faster I'm a bit worried about this and thinking I might have to go for RV670XT instead only because of this. ATI uses another approach on this matter but is NVIDIA still cheating on this point?

    http://media.putfile.com/fear-valikoima Here's an example from the FEAR menu how it sounds like. Simple animations are making this matter worst and animated GUIs and some videos like I meantioned Crysis or the item menu in Oblivion are things that cause very high fps if vsync is off.

    Of course it would be nice if there was any simple software that would limit any game I run at let's say 500 FPS or sth and I'd never have to worry about the noise. Don't know about any such utility though...

    If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place
