Will my PSU handle 2 780Ti ?

[nick546]

I have a Seasonic 850watt 80+ gold X-series
( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102 )
The Ti is one power hungry beast, i have one and planning to buy a second one, now that the price drops because of the new 900 series.

RealHardTech recommend 950W - the seasonic X1050 would be nice.

So, it won't?Damn, its such a nice psu and i tought that the wattage will be enough :l

You should be able to sell it and get $100 anyway.Another $70 and you got the 1050

try it anyway 500w for gpus and 200w for your system so 700 all in is well under 850

a 1kw psu would be better but 850w should be able to handle it especially as its from seasonic.
at 100% load on a 4 series i5 with a 780ti your looking at 400-430w total system draw. so the added 250ish should be covered by the 850w.
but honestly why would you go with a 780ti when the 980 is out, just as fast uses way less power and costs less.
personally i would sell the gpu rather than the psu and get 2 980's

There are people running sli 780's with good quality 750w PSU's so I would expect that 850 would be fine for 2 780Ti's. I think the higher PSU recommendations are to cover low quality PSU's

I ran 2 ASUS DCIIu 780ti's with a cheap thermaltake 850w untill I could get a better PSU, it ran fine. That was with an OC on both cards beyond the Factory OC, and a OC on the 4770k. best way to test it is after you install them both run furmark for a little bit if it doesn't reboot then your good

I'm rocking a 4770k stock.
The 980 is a bit of a dissapointment in my opinion.The last gen Ti beats it in some games(talking about my resolution of 1440p) and has a lot more cuda ( i render videos a lot).The only thing i like in the 980 is the price to performance and power efficiency.If it was A LOT better than the Ti, then yes, but now that the Ti is discontinued prices are going to drop (maybe cheaper than the 980).

970 sli best price to preformance
980 is to much compared to 970

970 and 980 price and performance will result in a lot of price dropping. 770, 780 and 780ti and 280x, 290 and 290x
