I have been hearing about some very odd isssues with 8800 series. No one is sure what is causing them and there is a lot talk going on about them.

here is very common issue. Buzzing noise coming from card's components (not from fan!) when using specific application.

to make you more interested here is few quotes:

"nope ur not the only one here i RMA my card and did the same thing change the powersupply same thing, and this is unbliveable that you pay $650 (that what i payed) and get stuff like that all the cards that i tested on that system run great and they were 6600GT 7600GT 7800GT 7900GT and 7950GX2 all of them didnt have that noise."

"Im having this very problem, seems to be very common. Right now I have about 10 tabs opeb with different forum threads on the subject."

"The noise is a crackling like buzz and it's comming from near the power connectors on the card when it under load. I have just replaced the power supply."

thoughts anyone?

Never had any issues...  It looks like some people get "lemons".
