Hey everyone, I want to go SLI mode with my EVGA GTX 570. I want to get the Asus ENGTX570 but I dont know if that will work. If that does not work with my existing card i will get the same EVGA GTX 570. I also have a corsair HX750w 750Watt PSU, will that be enough for two cards?

Okay stick with what you have. Manufacterer's sometimes sets lofty requirements anyway to cover their asses in case something goes wrong. I was using the 4870 x2 as a metric and AMD recommends a 650W power supply, considering that the 570 is slightly more power hungry and factoring in manufacterer inflation the 750 would handle it.

i did a few power consumption tests on a power calculator and it said i needed at least 681 watts so i think i will continue to use my HX750. But i could get an asus ENGTX 570 a long with my existing EVGA 570? yes or no
