Coil Whine after last "performance" update
Hello I'm getting heavy coil whine from my GPU/CPU after the last so-called "performance" update. I already limited my frame rate to 65-75 and still causing that annoying noise. I'm %100 sure this ...

This is clearly a "You" problem is what I am hearing along with a simple lack of manors; I guess your plan for the day is to sit there and stew. Vroom Vroom watch out for my lightsaber.. coming through.
First fact : Coil whine is hardware related (the inductors vibrate in their housings), typical for high-end products, more frequently and more intensely present on AMD products then nVidia.
It is also related to the vid card manufacturer.
Second fact : There were graphical improvements in the game that makes the GPU work harder (puts more stress on it then before). Notably Very High anti-aliasing and improved Shadows. Check back to the frst fact and see it coincide.
Third fact : No software actually causes a coil whine. The hardware does, due to "an error in conception". Test your card with FurMark, and enjoy the same coil whine. Play Far Cry 4 on Ultra settings, enjoy the coil whine.
My tip : RMA that vid card if you're stil under warranty.
Something to read on. BioWare does not produce hardware, and should be able to put a decent load on a vid card, who shud technically handle it WITHOUT coil whine.
