8800GTS 320mb SLI, is 500w enough?

Stryfe · Mar 4, 2009

A friend is thinking of adding a second 8800GTS 320mb to his system.

He has a Antec Earthlink 500w PSU which they say has two 22A 12v rails.

Will this be enough?

EDIT: His system is an A64 x2 6000+ at stock speed, 2gb ram, and 2 or 3 hard drives.

Eh honestly he's better off just getting a better single card solution, like a core 216 or 9800GTX+.

I'd sell the first card and put the money for the 2nd card toward a good new single card solution.

How much is the second card gonna cost him? But ueah a HD
4870 or GTX260 is better.

That's my plan, that's why I'm offering to sell it to him! haha

He hasn't decided he wants it for sure yet. I just wanted to make sure it would work in his system to help him make his decision. I can easily sell it on ebay if he doesn't take it.

I'm asking $120Cdn for it. They're going for around that without shipping on ebay.
