I'm planning on getting a second 470 in the near future, However I'm not sure whether my power supply is sufficient. I currently have the [url=http://www.corsair.com/power-supplies/non-modular-psus/enthusiast-series-1/tx650w.html]Corsair TX650.[/url] I currently play at 1680 x 1050, although this may change in the future, I also have two monitors (Both 1680x1050). Full specs: Asrock p55 Extreme i7 870 (To be overclocked 4ghz+) 4gb DDr3 1600mhz 2x 7200rpm HDD DVD Drive Corsair H50 In other words, is it worth saving more and investing in [url=http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/700-950W/XFX+Pro+Series+750W+80%2B+Bronze+Certified++Single+Rail+?productId=41847]XFX 750watt[/url] or similar.
according to [url=http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-470-2-3-way-sli-review/23]this article[/url] a watercooled computer with SLI 470s and an overclocked i7 965 under full load draws ~570W, which technically should be sufficient for your PSU, but you'd need to get adaptors
Efficiency will fuck you over. And it doesn't have enough PCI-E connectors anyway.
Would a 6 pin and a molex adaptor each per card be safe?
I wouldn't risk those cards on two of those.
