I have the EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 Classified Ultra video card and want to get a second for SLI but when I use the eXtreme power supply calculator is says I will need 950w of power. With my pc only having a 850w psu I would need to upgrade. I have seen reviews and benchmarks of PC's using two GTX 580 3GB cards being used on 750w.

How much power would I really need to run two of my 560's?

I do not want to have to upgrade my PSU as I just got a new one a couple months ago.

Asus Crosshair V Formula Motherboard
AMD FX-4170 4.2Ghz Quad Core
