Hi folks, just wondering if someone could tell me if my current PSU (OCZ modxstream pro 600w) would be able to power 2 5770's in crossfire?
On the box it has Sli compatible but there isno mention of Xfire.
Thanks![]()
IIRC...
Running 2no 5770's consumes:
109w idle
324w load
So to answer your question.. In theory your power supply should be sufficient, it all depends what other components/peripherals you have too.![]()
Thanks for the speedy response,
In my system I have
i5 quad cpu - stock cooler
4gb ddr3 corsair dominator
4 case fans
dvd rw
1tb hdd
wireless keyboard/mouse
external 1tb hdd
wireless 360 receiver
at the moment 1 xfx 5770
I think thats it, do you think I would be better upgrading the PSU?
Also, does the fact there is only mention of sli and not crossfire not mean anything?
Cheers, Mambo![]()
Cool, cheers buddy, I will try the calculator thing the now better safe than sorry
Thanks again![]()
Ran the calculator and it came back with 620w.....

I suppose if i do end up getting a second card i can try it like you say to see what stability is like, and if i need to upgrade i can always use this psu for a new next project, (the wife starts to weep) lol
Although th 5870 is on the today only for £220 minus £70-80 for my 5770 and the £70-80 for a new 5770 means £70 for a brand spanking 5870 in my insane logic![]()
Job done, 5870 ordered 5770 going to new home lol
Cheers for pushing me over the edge there![]()
yeah got to say, untill a few months ago pc gaming meant nothing more than football manager to me, lol.
was very impressed with my 5770 so im sure i will love this one even more
Thanks again for all your advice mate![]()
