VX 550w for 4850 Xfire
My existing VX550w would appear to be OK for two 4850 graphics cards in Xfire mode judging by the total system power demand under load reported here http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3338&p=5 as 335.7 watts. The VX550w has a 12v rail of 41 amps.
However it also says in the body of the report that
Is there any obvious reason why my present unit wouldn't be adequate. |

Re: VX 550w for 4850 Xfire
Yeah I agree with above, your psu will be perfectly fine for 2*4850s in crossifre. TBH I'm not sure what that review means, that 1000W OCZ Psu (if working properely) would be able to handle 3*4850s in crossfire.

Re: VX 550w for 4850 Xfire
Yeah, I'd have to read that Anandtech article first. A true 1000w PSU should run 3+ of ANY video card made. THe VX550 will run your Crossfire setup easily.
