what psu size do i need for 2 rx480's??

[TKprodigy]

i currently have a 500w psu and i am looking to get 2 rx 480s running in crossfire. my cpu is a fx 8350. what would you guys recommend and would my cpu bottleneck my gpus at all?

Thanks in advance!

I'd want 750w for all that and yes I'd expect there will be a number of occasions you'll see a cpu issue.

According to gamers nexus it eats up to 430w (http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2507-crossfire-rx-480-benchmark-vs-1070-and-1080-power-temperatures-fps/page-2) So, i think if you have that FX 8350 with a good 600W or 650W just to be sure you will be plenty fine.

About the CPU, i think it will bottleneck it, but for start, why you need a CF? which resolution?

id probably run it in 1080p but id be using the cards to last some time before i next upgrade

Hey guys, check this out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151132 I don't know why it's being sold for only $79, but it's an amazing deal nonetheless.

honestly, I'd use 1 Rx480 and upgrade the CPU instead.

a 750W Seasonic G for that price is seriously good.
as far as I know though a Corsair RM750x or EVGA Superniva G2 750W are around the same price
