You should pretty much know that already if you're considering a dual card setup.

I agree. If your going to spend the dough on hefty Vcards, do yourself a favor and get a beefy psu.

Personally I have a 550w Enermax and a Pc&P 510sli, and while they arent priced the same they are equally capable :)

Currently only with 7800GT sli.

Heh,Heh You shouldnt just know it, you should only use a beefy supply if you have a dual set up. I have a PC P&C 510 SLI and I wonder when the day will come that it wont be enough......what a shame, its a nice unit.....and wasnt cheap.
 
Broken link?

Also, it's pretty well-known, considering the kinds of PSUs nVidia certifies for SLI setups. 500W and above only, please.

It's gonna be a sad day when a 1kilo unit is necessary to keep your PC running LOL

In a nutshell, some PSU's can't deliver enough 12 volt amperage to drive everything in your computer so they overload and shutdown.
