Is it man enough?!

Go to solution Solved by FuzzyYellow,

Thanks for the crazy fast replies!

 

I did think as much but I tried a couple of psu calcs online and some come back with 80amp's on the rails @ 1100w so thought best to ask!

 

Nothing more depressing then buying new hardware only to find out you cant play with it until next payday as you missed/need some random part  :(

 

On a side note though this is my first real sli seutp, had single pcb dual gpu's in the past (7950gx2,gtx590), can i expect just to put the card and bridge in and maybe a driver refresh to get it up and running?

yup, that should be fine.

Hi All,

 

I'm looking at chucking another 980ti in the beast (spec on profile) but not sure if my psu would take another card??

 

I would expect @ stock clocks it would be more than fine but as both cards and cpu are slightly over clocked I'm not sure.

 

Also this is my first post and forum membership so go easy if I've broken some random by-law and yes I already know that even though I'm English I'm yet to learn how to use the language proper! :D

 

Thanks for any info.
