How much power do you think a 960 SLI will need? I was thinking 650W like the 970 SLI but I am not sure. I will be SLI'ing the Gigabyte G1's so I'll need 4 6pin cables as well.

Remember when the R9 280 was the HD 7950? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

PSUs that have the Crossfire or SLI "certified" usually have the connectors for 2 cards. 650w should be fine. 750w would be the safest.

don't sli 960's..sell it and use the money to get a 970 performance gained with sli 960 wouldn't be that huge over a 970 that won't suffer from sli profiling issues.

Please, sell your 960 and buy a 970...

 

It's 120W TDP on the card, so you should be fine with any decent 550w+?

This is a future upgrade for the summer, I'm waiting to see if prices drop and if the 960 holds it's value well. If so, I very well might upgrade to the 970 or AMD's new stuff (but it will probably be the rebrands that will be in my price range :[ )
