I have a 600w OCZ powerstream PSU and i didn't really think about it that much but i might not have enough wattage to run quad sli. i'm still looking around but man that would be kinda ridiculous if i needed to get another psu.
 
Yeah, that's not surprising...at least you don't have a DX10 quad-sli setup :eek:

The OCZ 700W is probably one of the cheapest units on that list.
 
yeah i'm curious to wether or not you actually need 700 watts or if that just a safe amount. I mean now adays 600w watts doesn't sound like much these days but really that a hell of a lot of power. I remember when i got my first 500w unit, that was crazy a few years ago. I'm still going to look around and see what configurations people have gotten to work.
 
It's not going to consome 700wts, not even 4 beefy cards, but with you're whole system and the cards running under heavy load they want a good overhead, otherwise companies would get huge complaints about crashes and lockups due to insufficient power.
Are you really concidering quad SLi though? I think it's pretty safe to say anyone's CPU would bottleneck before they needed all that juice but I suppose there must be benifits.
