Your system is relatively new (<2 years) ... Are you absolutely sure it's only on TT and no other games? It could be, but I think you might find other games my trigger the whistle as well if you investigate.

Get a can of compressed air and blow out your system. If your GPU fans run at variable speeds, it might be that the speed of the fans are just the right speed to cause that whistle/whine, where as less taxing games (and more) get past the resonance frequency needed. If you take the side off your desktop when you hear the whistle, does it continue (it might be creating turbulence to cause a flute effect through the venting holes).

Here's a reddit thread about your video card, specifically, and that I found using a web search engine.
For what it's worth, I severely doubt his GPU is going past the 2D Desktop state for a game like TT so fan speed will be irrelevant.
It's more than likely inductor whine commonly referred to as coil whine, it's a very well known "problem" on GPUs, unless it's the aforementioned issue of having an uncapped framerate, nothing can be done to stop it because it's happening on a component level.

You guys thinking it’s gonna be down to the wire for a release this week or we getting it tomorrow or Friday cause the week is half over just interested in the thoughts of the forum. I honestly have no expectations I like to just think it’ll happen when it’ll happen but if it doesnt happen by Friday I’d have little hope for a Saturday release.

Last release was on a Sunday/Monday (depending upon your part of the world).

Lostraven was given "more scenes to write" yesterday, he said they were small and would finish them today. Those all still need to be put into the code by Uber. Lostraven hasn't stated that he received a version to playtest yet, he has said he will let discord know when he does.

If it comes out this week, I expect that top tier subscribers get the alpha to test on Sunday.

So let's start the game over, rebuilt with new characters?
Yep that is what it sounds like. New characters, upgraded story line , updated art in some cases and your old save is not likely to be compatible so have to play from the beginning. Not sure to what extent each of these things will be in some cases I suspect tweaks and in others I "suspect" bigger changes. To be honest we just don't know at this point how it will play out. I don't expect though that this will severely change the game , but it is going to change some things. So strap yourselves in folks cause it "may" or "may not" be a bumpy ride. :)

Maybe they will improve this system of hints, because the hints resembled puzzles, it was not known what was going on.
I think the hints system is fine the way it is, hints aren't supposed to walk you through the game, just provide little direction when you are stuck. If anything I'd like them to be a little more subtle/cryptic.

If you need a walkthrough they are easy enough to find.

So long as there’s Tiffany content I don’t mind playing it from the beginning…

I really hope she is in this update as well and I think originally after the Mary's (Actually don't think Mary's rout is finished yet) rout Tiffany was supposed to be next. However now we have this re-vamp and I am left wondering if we will get Tiffany this time.

I agree partially with both of you. I think the hint system could be improved instead of ab-libbing the hints they should be quotes taken from the dialog.
However I don't want them dumbed down all the way other wise not really a hint anymore more like a walkthrough. If you read the dialog then a simple get X, Y and Z then see X should be plenty. To be perfectly honest I have never once used a walkthrough for this game it just was not needed if you payed attention to the dialog.

I'd bet you have unlocked framerate and your GPU is coil whining.
Do you have a program that will show you the FPS of programs? Fraps might suffice purely for an FPS readout.
Some cards are more prone to coil whine than others, and I'll assure you that while it is annoying, it's not indicative of any issues and isn't something to worry about.
Sorry for the delay, was sleeping :p

I just downloaded fraps and tried it and the game is running between 1500 and 3000 fps. So you may be right, any idea how to cap the fps for TT ?

Dont you have a dashboard/"management suit" for your graphics card? should be some settings in there you can tweak.

Yup that's what i did using the NVIDIA control pannel but tbh i would like to be able to do it for TT only and not cap games that don't cause the "issue".
But what i find weird is that even with the fps capped at 60, the noise still happen but is less noisy. I don't know why that happens with TT and not with other games i play atm like WoW. I know WoW isn't the most intensive game for gpu but even in raids with lots of particules my gpu doesn't make this noise.

If you only want to limit the fps only for TT , pictures are in spanish but i think u can understand

No worries, I was also sleeping not too long after having made that post.
The higher the framerate, the more your inductors will oscillate and TLDR you'll get mad coil whine.
Personally I use RivaTunerStatisticsServer to both monitor temperatures/framerate as well as limit FPS.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And for what it's worth, you should absolutely be using VSync on damn near everything anyway, chances are your monitor is 60hz meaning your monitor can only display 60FPS, any extra frames are just wasted electric (who needs to be wasting that these days)
Oh and I'll reiterate, coil whine is totally normal and you needn't worry, it's annoying of course but there's nothing that can be done about it, best to just lock VSync (or use a framerate limiter) and try ignore it.
