Hey, im thinking of getting 2 4870's but im ot sure if my PSU could cope. I have the corsair TX750w and the rest of my system includes a q6600 @ 3.3 ghz, 4gb of ram, 1 hdd, 1 dvdrw and the x48 mb.

The official requirements are 500w for one 4870 and 600w for two in xfire. The guru 3d review said that 500w is ok with one 4870 coupled to a high end rig, so will 750w be ok for 2 of them??

Please i need help quick with this because i want to get them before they go :)

Thanks in advance for the help.

You have 60amps on the single +12v rail on that 750TX...... you can run two 4870s quite comfortably.
