Topic: 2 x 5870's (Read 600 times)
A 600 or 650W power supply from a reputable company should be fine. Corsair and Antec are two of the brands that I would trust to deliver the stable wattage that they claim to offer.
600 or 650 should do just fine
600W will do just fine.
One 5870 clocked at 940Mhz Core is about 210W
So 2x210W = 420 + 100W for the MB+CPU+HDD = 520W minimum
these calcs depend on CPU .. if you use some 125+W multi core monster U probably will need a little more power, but 600 will do pretty much anything.

750?
If you're talking about the Radeon 5870 then I'd put a bit more than 600 watts just to be safe, looks like a pretty powerful card.
Hi all,
Just wondering what kind of power supply would be recommended to run x 2 of the above cards. Do you think I'll get away with a 450watt? or should i be looking at atleast a 600watt?
