Well, here is ATI's response to Nvidia SLI 2.0 technology. And btw, not for ppl that don't have own nuclear powerplant behind their house... power requirements 1kw and more. OMFG

The power supply manufacturers are thrilled about four cards in a high-end machine as such a system will demand a lot of power, probably even more than 1000W.

I'd say so. Turn your PC on and the street lights dim.

each card needs 240watts so 960watts for 4 cards. I say 1500watts recommended so your way wrong

I think that for what a 4-card set up is meant for, energy won't be a huge problem...

Didn't it say in some random R600 article somewhere that some of the R600 cards may require they're own separate PSU?

Just like everyone thought the 8800GTX would require 350w dedicated to it, which is does not.

Why not wait until it comes out before you believe the hype?

ATI R600 / AMD X2900XTX requires about the same amount of power as 8800gtx. so it is less than 240. btw where u guys have read that it would need >200w power? eh?
