Power Supply Requirements for nVidia GPUs

[JackNaylorPE]

Question gets asked a lot .... so making this so I can just link to it:

Power Supply Requirements (As Per nVidia):
n = Number of **extra cards** (so for for 2-way SLI that's one extra card, 3-way 2 extra cards, etc)

And as Per Guru 3D

Power Supply Requirements (Guru 3D):
Note that Guru3D uses a 3960X heavily overclocked which may draw as much as 100 watts ore more than other CPUs

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/nvidia_geforce_gtx_titan_x_review,8.html

Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 254 Watts

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX Titan X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 600~650 Watts power supply unit.
