Title: Good inexpensive power supply for 3 cards? Post by: toben on February 10, 2014, 09:12:52 PM Hello,
I need a good and not terribly expensive PSU for 2x R9 270 and 1x 78750. My current 500w PSU will not do even 2 of the 270's. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G0WPLK/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In theory it should power all 3 but I cant figure out the rails argument. Let me know if you have a solution. Thanks in advance! Title: Re: Good inexpensive power supply for 3 cards?

Heck, I've got 3 7870's running on a 650w XFX unit without issue (no overclocking though). Newegg has the XFX 850w non-modular bronze unit for $100 AR.
