Video Card Whine?

This might be nothing but.. my whole system is new and so I want to increase it's longevity as much as I can. When I start Crysis my video card makes a high pitched whine until it reaches the menu. I have played the game at a friends house who has a weaker card than me and his does not do that. So I got a little paranoid.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 and my friend had a Nivida 9600.

Should I be worried? The whine eventually goes away. But it doesn't do that for any other game. It's a really high pitched sound. Crysis is running on default settings.
 
it could just be the fan but that may be something different. I'm pretty sure the 4850 has an automatic fan control so it may just be kickin itself up a notch. See if you can get the cards temerature, but it may just be nothing serious, but i don't have first hand experience with the card tho
