I have a single 4770 in my PC atm, and it would appear that grabbing another for $110 (I have a crossfire mobo, durr) would be the cheapest upgrade.

Question is, will my current antec tru power trio 430 watt (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 2-_-Produc) run two of these cards? I know they are low power consumption, but I have no idea how low really.

If the PSU is not capable, what would the cheapest power supply adequate be?

My sincere thanks and INCREDIBLY AWSUM KARMA PRIZEZZS for help.

Antec power supplies are usually alright. I'd be surprised if it didn't work.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

There's a big difference between a cheap 650W and a quality 430W. You should be fine. Your PSU is good quality.

according to this they draw about 80 W. So no worries since I can run a similar card on a 305 W Dell PSU. Unless you have loads of HD and other crap you should be fine to run 2 on 430 W.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
