What do you guys think? The 750TX has 60A 12v.

I already have the PSU... it's running two 9800GTs at the moment, but I plan on moving those to another rig with a 650TX (plenty of power). :)

I'd really rather not drop another ~$300+ on a 1kw PSU if I don't have to. The price on a 850TX (70A 12v) isn't too bad. I could (would rather) swing that if necessary.

I suspect you'll be fine with those in SLI. I wouldn't expect a single overclocked 260 to consume much over 300w at full tilt.

It'll work. I have one running 2 GTX260s without problems. THe 850 will run 2 GTX295s.

I would run two GTX 260's on my HX620, so you are fine.

^^You would be cutting it close! Thats about 600W+ output with o/c quad and the cards o/c!! But since those are champs and cert'd at 50C I believe, it would run it.

Thanks all for the reassurance... I'm kicking myself for missing that 204.99 deal on the XFX 260s yesterday. :bang head

I'm sure I'll find something to suit my needs soon. Just moved around a few cards tonight... getting ready. ;)

I see ya there cuda... trying to sneak up on me. You know I can't be having any of that. :D

I know it's already been answered, but it'll be fine.

One of my rigs is a similar setup - an OC'd Q6600, a GTX 280 and GTX 260-216. At full load, running 2 gpu clients and the SMP client, the rig pulled around 430-450 Watts. I ran it on a Corsair TX750 for several months without any issues (other than the PSU sounding like a leaf blower... be advised). She was noisy but stable.
