Title: 2 x 5870's Post by: zo0omer on November 10, 2012, 06:45:46 AM Hi all,
Just wondering what kind of power supply would be recommended to run x 2 of the above cards. Do you think I'll get away with a 450watt? or should i be looking at atleast a 600watt? Steve.

One 5870 clocked at 940Mhz Core is about 210W So 2x210W = 420 + 100W for the MB+CPU+HDD = 520W minimum these calcs depend on CPU .. if you use some 125+W multi core monster U probably will need a little more power, but 600 will do pretty much anything.
