In regular windows, when you move the mouse, does the card make noise? Also, run AtiTool, the 3D cube thing, and see if the noise is loud then. My 8800GTX's literally scream. Even just moving the mouse around browsing websites, it makes a strange noise. not so much ticking, but almost a scratchy squeal. I believe it is capacitors or other power conditioning pats. Not a problem, but pretty annoying.
