I'm debating my way through buying 3 different cards but I need to know something.

Can my current Corsair HX1050 push 2 295x2's at full tilt or do I need to upgrade to the AX1200i or AX1500i?

I think you would be really pushing it with two. Each card has a TDP of approximately 450W (not including any overclocking).

Click to expand...

TDP is 500W on the 295x2. Two of those are of course 1000W.

I would get an EVGA G2 Supernova 1300W model. Its as good/better than the Corsair and a hell of a lot cheaper.


I have to ask... why the heck are you trying to run 2 295x2's? You running multiple 4K monitors?

I'd be looking at more than 1300W for an FX and two 295X2's.
G2 1600W would be my call.
