EDIT come to think of it.. that does not look quite right a single 5870 uses 50 more watts than a 5850? But a second 5870 only adds 50 watts? Either single 5870 wattage is wrong or the CFX is...

Hmm toms guide has an i7 oced to 4GHz, 6 gb ram etc etc running a single 5870 at 350W and 2 at 560! this one is wrong if 188W is the load rating of the 5870... but not very far off.. in efficient PSU could be issue...

EB Shows a stock i7 and 5870 at 270W load single card and 420W CFX


G3D says 376W just for the 2 cards (5870)... probably the most accurate... would should put it over a single 480 by about 80W
