Enough power for GTX 560 Ti

[grimey]

Will my Rosewill RX750-S-B PSU be enough power for a new GTX 560 Ti? It says the max 12v is 20A for the PSU but for the graphics card it says that the card needs minimum 500W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 30A? Will I still be alright out do I have to upgrade first?

My current PC specs are:

Q8200 @ Stock 2.33GHZ
4 Gigs of Corsair XMS2 DDR2
2x 9800 GTs SLIed
Rosewill 750w PSU
Windows 7 Pro 64bit

A single GTX 560ti will use around the same (probably less) as 2 9800 gt's, your good to go.

Check out these stats which indicate that your 30 amp requirement is spot on. As you add more devices to the 12 volt rail such as HDD's etc you may start to experience random shut downs or other untoward behaviour. I would upgrade your PSU if I was you but as you are running SLI and not having any problems you may well get away with it.

I am actually using a GTX 470 right now that I borrowed from a friend and it runs fine. I see that it requires more power than the 560 ti. I am really trying to take advantage of the Batman game deal and plan on upgrading to my system by december with a Antec 1000 Watt PSU, i5 2500k, z68 MB, 8gigs of RAM, and another GTX560 ti.

I read about all the problems people were having with those. I am looking at the PNY version.
