The Corsair TX750w is on AMD's website's list of Crossfire certified power supplies, but when you read the description of the Corsair TX750w on most websites it only says "SLI certified."

So is the TX750w Crossfire certified?

I looked at my TX750w box and it doesn't say that it's CrossFire certified. But if AMD says that it is, it means that they tested it.

 

If that's the only thing keeping you from buying one, don't worry. It has a single 60 amp rail and 4 "6+2" cables. And if it will run a pair of nVidia cards, it'll run the equivalent from AMD/ATI.

In other words, SLI/Crossfire Certified doesn't mean much if you know how much your system needs. , if its SLI Certified, its Crossfire Certified, but there are different Cards, say a 8800gt takes a lot less power than a gtx 285 would and they could both be SLI'ed.

So you might wanna read the back of the Box when buying a new GPU =]

Don't worry about being certified or not. That's a great psu, I have the same on in my rig powering a GTX 295.

One cool thing about that psu is that it can run up to 900w. So if you are close to maxing it out, you really don't have to worry about it blowing up.

Practically every other manufacturer (except PC P&C maybe) would put a 900 watt sticker on it. At 900 watts, it's still in spec.

The whole certified thing IMO is must marketing BS. That power supply is plenty capable of SLI or CF of any 2 single gpu cards currently available.
