Nvidia GTX295 SLI Power Supply Requirements?

[sephroth777]

Here is my setup which I will be setting up this week. All I have left is the video card choice. I was looking to go SLI GTX 295 and wondering if my Corsair 1000 watt power supply will be enough?

Core i7 920 overclocked
Evga X58
6gb Corsair 1600 DDR3
2xWD Raptor 300gb Raid 0
1 TB WD Black
LG Blu-Ray Burner


Either 2xEVGA GTX 295 SLI or 2x EVGA GTX 285 SLI

Corsair 650TX is enough.

Power consumption benchmarks for high end GPU configurations.

Note this is full system wattage with an overclocked i7 setup.

EDIT: Oh, wait - are you saying 2 x GTX295 in QuadSLI setup? If so, you want at least an 850W PSU.

Just updated my system with Raid 0 Raptors, and the rest of the components. Will my Corsair HX 1000Watt be enough to run everything for benching, gaming, folding?

Yes, almost no system breaks the 1000w barrier.
