I just got in my new graphics card its a Asus r9 270x. I installed it downloaded the drivers and everything works fine, but when I play any sort of game my card makes a loud buzzing noise. I've heard it could be coil whine, but its so much louder then that, if it was just a little less noisy I could deal with it. but its just annoying. Should I just RMA my card for the second time? The first card I got was DOA or any suggestions?

This is probably a coil whine. This is pretty normal for graphics cards. You can RMA it if you want but it's not a big issue. It goes away after a while.

Will it quiet down enough as in I won't be able to hear it when I have headphones on?

It might. Give it a few days. My GTX 770 did that and now it's completely silent. If it doesn't then you could RMA it and get another one.

Setup: i5 4670k @ 4.2 Ghz, Corsair H100i Cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB Ram @ 1600 Mhz, MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard, Corsair GS700 2013 edition PSU, MSI GTX 770 Lightning, Samsung EVO 120 SSD + 2TB&1TB Seagate Barracudas, BenQ XL2411T Monitor, Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones + AntLion ModMic 4.0

Give it another week and if it does not seem to be improving then RMA it.
