Hello
I have one 660 ti card and will be buying another one to run in sli mode. When I got this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-256-061&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=4#scrollFullInfo
I thought it would be powerfull enough for sli but after a few google searches some people say that 500W is not enough, they recommend at least 600w then other peoplesay 450w should be enough because 1 card only draws about 130 watts. I'm confused. I didn't go for 700w PSU because my system doesn't need that much power and most of it would be wasted ($$$).
Now I feel like a moron because I wasted $60 on a 500w PSU trying to save on electricity. Please tell me that 500w should be ok. Thanks
