Yes it's more then enough.

700w is enough for two 980Tis? In what world?

850w would be cutting it close, even.

I don't really think it will be enough

 

For ex: The i7 5820k and 2 980ti G1 Gamings, come in at 726W...and that's at stock speeds, no OC.

 

So with the OC, you might be pushing close to 800W.

 

That PSU is platinum though, and YMMV, but I think it might be cutting things a little too close for comfort, but thats just me

 

Take a look at this build, ignore the pricing etc... I was pricing stuff out for my next build :P

 

but anyways, click on the PCP link for the wattage at the top left

-SNIP-

Yeah, but those charts, don't take into account an overclock, or the CPU (in some charts), and power draw doesn't exactly scale linearly

 

Round it up, to 600W system load @ reference. Overclocking the system could push it to like 685W under full load. The PSU in theory should be able to handle it, but 15W is kinda close.

 

Plus I'm not so sure I would put my faith in theories, when it comes to hardware of that kind of cost. One mistake, and it could get ugly, real quick

And that's bullshit... A single 980Ti can draw almost 400w on furmark.

furmark.

 

Still... It draws quite a bit even in games.

But furmark is a bad representation.

It's worst case scenario. Optimally it should represent how much wattage you should have in mind when buying a psu.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be running my PSU pinned at close to 100% all the time. I would be more comfortable running 65-80%, and that's cutting it fine.

277w approximately under max load along with the tdp of the cpu which equals 140w

 

[(cpuTdp + gpuTdp) * 2 ] + [(numberOfGpus -1) * gpuTdp]

 

= 834w

 

you will need at least 850w in terms of a psu

 

the formula above takes into account overclocking the cpu and gpu

Thanks for great comments.

Well normal atx psu does not fit.

I have 2 options.

I'll wait sfx 800w+ or change case. I have already axi860.
