I'm not that sure, but ATi and Debian are reported to not work together too well.

How old is the card? You may want to check for a replacement just to make sure your card isn't defective.

It's said that if it works, the noise is just the vibration of the coils. But now I'm curious as to why Survivor causes the video card to buzz while Fear Factor doesn't, even though Fear Factor appears to put more load on the card.

Have you updated all your drivers? Have you swapped it with a system running a Brittany CPU? Have you gone in the BIOS and disabled the CLE/T/US?

I recently installed kernel 2.6.15.4, and I used the latest official nVidia drivers. As for Britney, I don't think there'll be any difference since it's basically a high powered Athlon 64. I'll check the BIOS, but I really doubt it's the problem.
Oh, and I noticed that the noise is a little different with different resolutions and particularly refresh rates. It also changes depending on the scene. Why is that? (I'm guessing it has to do with the GPU running out of work for that frame and skipping clock cycles until the next frame.)
