Question gets asked a lot .... so making this so I can just link to it:

Power Supply Requirements (As Per nVidia):
n = Number of extra cards (so for for 2-way SLI that's one extra card, 3-way 2 extra cards, etc)


980 http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt...

980 Thermal and Power Specs:
98 C = Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C)
165 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
500 W = Minimum System Power Requirement (W)
2x 6-pins = Supplementary Power Connector

SLI - 500 + n x (165 +20 peaks) = 685 watts for 2 cards

780 Ti Thermal and Power Specs:
95 C = Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C)
250 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
600 W = Minimum System Power Requirement (W)
One 8-pin and one 6-pin = Supplementary Power Connector

SLI - 600 + n x (250) = 850 watts for 2 cards

And as Per Guru 3D

Power Supply Requirements (Guru 3D):
Note that Guru3D uses a 3960X heavily overclocked which may draw as much as 100 watts ore more than other CPus


http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/nvidia_geforce_gtx...

Quote:
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption (970) = ~ 164 Watts
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption (980 )= ~ 171 Watts


Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 970 or 980 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 970 or 980 in 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have an 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

Subjective obtained GPU power consumption (780 Ti) = ~ 262 Watts

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 780 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
