Dual 5770s in crossfire, little worried about amps on 12V line

[Brandito]

"Well AMD obviously knew this and is providing provisional Eyefinity support with the HD 5970 graphics card at its release. Why provisional? Because the list of games that are supported compared to single graphics chip options is much much smaller and CrossFire + Eyefinity support is limited to the HD 5970 ONLY. That means that users looking to add a second HD 5800-series card are still going to be out luck for at least another driver revision or two. "

I stole that from Ryan's review of the 5970 on November 18th.

that sucks, guess i haven't kept up since eyefinity is still so far off from making it to my desktop.

Driver 9.12 released today finally adds support for CrossfireX + Eyefinity!!!

Im still thinking whether I really need a new PSU or not, especially after reading this:

What do you guys think?

Stick with my CWT 550W or just get the thermaltake.

Remember Im poor.

Thread revival time.

Now that I have owned these 5770s for a while I think I am gonna need a new PSU after all. As some of you have seen in my other threads im having performance and random stability issues. Yet if I run a single 5770 everything is fine. Which leads me to beleive that my PSU cant handle both.

Heres what im thinking of getting:

Has a single 12V rail with 64A and it also has Ryans approval:

Should be more then enough. What do you guys think?

Should work fine.
Just a heads up though for a mere $5 more you can get this one.

Actually its a 15$ difference after rebates.

Anyways yeah that corsair was another candidate. But I am on a budget and that TT is looking good so I think Ill just get that.
