Video Card Coil Whine . Noise Source

So we often look at the raw power of the video cards and then the price, and for the most part we do not care much about the brand as long as it has the chipset/mem combo that we like.
We want them to run as many panadapters at the highest resolution with the minimum impact to our wallets. But... are we creating unwanted "noise" on top of already RFI crowded bands?

There is something to consider when making a purchase decision, some of these new video cards produce what is known as "Coil Whine"

This article explains the issue.

tl;dr Certain cards tend to produce noise that can easily disturb the receiver performance. After the video card, poor quality power supplies, tend to be the noise culprits... but as hams we are very aware of power supply quality and not so much with video cards. 

For your consideration I am attaching the Table with some of the findings.
If you are not familiar with computer and video card testing, Hitman (a game) and FurMark (video testing program) are used in this table to stress the video cards. They can stress the video cards beyond what a 6700 with 8 opened panadapters will. 



You basically want to choose a video card that has NONE for either test. ASUS seems a reliable brand with only 2 chipsets affected with a MILD case of Coil Whine.
