Go to solution Solved by Jodomcfrodo,

I just got it from NCIX, haven't even opened the box yet. Do you think they would take it back so I could get a AX860?

It'll work but I wouldn't be comfortable doing it. I would get at least a 860W.

So I just got the AX760W and I was wondering if it would be enough to crossfire 2 GTX 880s once they come out, thanks for the help.

Depends on the power consumption of the cards but I wouldn't think it would be comfortable.

considering that the 880s are going to be maxwell and what we have seen from 750/ti it will be quite efficient so I would say so

it can power 2 780's, and since the rumors are saying the 800's are more efficient, i'll go with yes

 

although wait for the cards before you take my word for it

INTEL CORE I5 4670K | NVIDIA GTX 980 | NOCTUA NH-L9i | GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI | KINGSTON 120GB V300

It'll probably be fine as you can run two 290 Windforce 3 on an AX860.

since you didn't open it yet, i suggest return it and get a ax860 to be on the safe side.

Hopefully. NCIX has always been a bitch for me to deal with. Probably because I used the Canadian website for an American order. Never had to return anything though.

WAIT, how is the 750/ti maxwell then, I thought it was just the 20nm or something was delayed. But I don't know much about the internal workings of a gpu :lol:
