GTX 470 Power Supply Requirements?

[thebski]

Have an 850 watt psu with an i7 920 @ 4.0 ghz. Will I be able to power dual GTX 470's in SLI?

What 850 W PSU do you have?

If it is a quality unit from the likes of Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Enermax or the like, no problem.

It's a Seasonic M12D 850w. A buddy of mine had his 8800 ultra finally go out and wants to buy my 275's. I figure 470's are a good performance jump for fair price right now. I think I'm going to try it. If it doesn't work hopefully Newegg will work with me a little bit.

That PSU will handle it with ease and power to spare.
