    ATI 4890 1GB 900MHz CrossFire

    Hello,

    I'm about to purchase two ATI 4890 1GB Turbo Edition 900MHz cards but I'm a little concerned with the PSU I have at the moment is not enough to power both of these cards. Although the PSU is CrossFire Certified I hope it's anough. The PSU I have in my rig at the moment is a new Enermax Revolution 85+ with a Peak Power of 1020W and a UPS of 1000W/1400VA. The Rails are Combined 840W (70A)

    The enermax revolution is the best PSU out at the moment for it's price range, and most efficient. I have used a 1250W and 850W version.

    You could get another 2 4890s and it would still have enough juice left to power everything else in your room.

    1020w would probably power your house!

    lol, browsing through these psu question threads nowadays, everyone seems to be underestimating their psu/ overestimating the power their components draw.

    You should get decent performance out of that, what is it running in?
    Two HD4890's sit just above a GTX295.
