PSU for g280 in SLI Dual & Tri

[stove]

Hi guys, I would like a recommended PSU for the new nvidia 280 card in dual sli and in tri sli.

Thank you for your time and patience.

basically get the biggest, most efficient, and generally best PSU you can afford, cos i suspect tri 280's will produce one SHED load of heat

It's a little hard to know how accurate a guess will be - but you did ask. We should know a lot more by this time next week.
8800Ultra = recommended 500W and 34A (from Evga website) so GTX 280 will suggest ~550W and 40A for a single card (total system power).
Visit http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html and look up the recommended PSUs for dual and tri 8800Ultra and make a SWAG from there.

Thanks for the input guys, I guess I will wait out on ordering the psu with the card/cards.

I was looking at a PSU for 8800 GT sli and saw a little * about the GTX 260. The corsair 650TX psu is rated for SLI, but not approved for the GTX260 SLI, so I would get the 750TX for GTX280 SLI, and maybe something like a Real Power Pro 850w from Cooler Master if you were going to tri-SLI because from what I've seen 280's are power suckers.
