so if I buy 1300w, then I can fit 4 cards + system in it.
The 290 consume anywhere between 225w to 375w depending on how you under/over clock them. So yo answer your question (was it a question?): yeah, you could, so long as you're not planning on overclocking it and you make sure you undervolt it.

are you mining x11 coin or another coin? x11 coin has energy efficient? it is half of scrypt power. it use less energy. Smiley

if I guess if I buy like 1300w gold, then I can put all 4 x 290 + system in one psu ( 1300w).
I'm talking about scrypt / n-factor algos. With x11 I reckon 1k PSU can hold 4 cards, but you're gonna limit yourself to only x11 coins.

I got 3 of those with a 1k PSU and its fine.
but it won't hold 4 cards unless you do some serious undervolting & underclocking.

is single PSU (1000-1300w) handle 3 or 4 of 290 non x + system or not? or do u need dual psu for it? I meant without powerloss.

I have evga 1000w gold, will it handle or not?

will 1000w gold handle 2 x 280x , 2 x 290 non x, and system? I will be mine x11 coin only.
