I have a PC Power and Cooling 610W PSU, which is of roughly the same quality as the Corsair HX 620W (Both are made by Seasonic, presumably the same unit).

Anyway, I'm getting a 4870x2 in a few days and I was wondering if my PSU is going to provide enough juice for the card. My other components are:

- Q6600 (At 2.8GHz)
- 4GB DDR2 800
- 500GB WD HDD
- 1 DVD-RW and three case fans.
- Audigy 2 Soundcard

As you can see it's not the most heavy loaded system out there, I also won't be overclocking the card.

Any 4870x2 owners with 600-650W PSUs willing to post their feedback in here?
 
Looks like I'll be fine, but obviously it's not the most accurate thing:

Agreed. Just for reference though, I'm running the following just fine on a Corsair 520HX:

- Q6600 (@ 2.7GHz)
- BFG GTX 260 OC- patiently waiting for my EVGA GTX280 SC from BUY.COM!!! :)
- 4GB DDR2 800
- 2x 320GB WD HDD
- 1 DVD-RW and four case fans.
- X-fi XtremeGamer Soundcard

I think you'll be fine personally, I had a 4870x2 kinda kill an enermax liberty 620, though.
