Gigabyte GTX 580 Sli

Hi

I was considering buying another GTX 580 in the future, when the prices come down and I was wondering whether or not a good quality 750w PSU will be enough to power 2 in sli.

Mate I wouldnt risk it since your having 2 580s which are most likely going to be heavily clocked i run my 2 lightnings on a corsair ax850 psu

Cool. That's good to know. My PSU is a high quality one, so is it still risky, do you think?

Its a BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 80+ gold certified. It is very popular in Europe.

well ya do have 4 rails on that totaling 90amps so it may do the trick but I would have to say if ur pushing alot of other gear plus an overclock then an 850watter would be alot less taxing on it.

Cool. I think one 580 would be enough for the near future and I might just stick to a single card and forget sli altogether. Then, when the 580 is no longer powerful enough to run games at decent frame rates I'll buy the next gen GPU.
