Yes. Even though Nvidia's power consumption is notably lower than AMD's, I'm running two 770's on a 750 watt PSU just fine, and I still have headroom.

Nvidia does the same thing, but benchmarks show you won't actually need that much, haha.

They do it so that if you fuck your power supply some how they won't be liable. They are also accounting for the cheap $20 1000watt power supplies which probably only deliver like 500 watts.
