Question on crossfire and Power Supply
Hi everyone. This may sound dumb, and I feel I should know this but I want to double check.
(All info in my sig)
I currently have the following Power supply:
Rosewill Stallion Series RD700 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Newegg.com
I have this graphics card:
ASUS HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2 Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com
I want to know if it is possible (if I am able to with my setup) to crossfire 2 of those 7870's with a little room to spare of power. Meaning I am not super stressing my rig.
On a kinda related note, I am thinking about getting this power supply to cut down on my electric bill.
Is the current PSU I have now good enough? Or should I go ahead and update to the one I am considering at a higher wattage? I also like the fact the second PSU is modular. Will help a ton with my cable management.
If my current PSU is fine for the task, then I'll stick with that. Otherwise I will go with the one I'm thinking and get better wattage and energy savings.
Thanks for the information and any friendly advise.
