How much WATT needed for CF

[LeonZai]

Looking to CF MSI R9 280X x2.

How much W should my PSU have at least?
And a small question is, after i CF, which GFX card would the performance match?

Rather you wait and get a single 290x.

As long as dual GPU the min you will need is a 850w. Although you still can use 750w. But I risky and its not good to load your PSU more than 60%

R9 280x is somewhere in between gtx770 and 780.

So a xfire will easily surpass a titan in nvidia terms. In terms of amd it should surpass the 7990.

How is that so? Would love to hear your feedback.

Hm.. thanks for answering my PSU question. You think its advisable to just get a single piece R9 290X? or xfire 2 280X
