4870 & Enermax Infinity 720w

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

The machine the 4870 is intended for has this:

Q9300 (some overclocking)
2 150 Raptors Raid 0
4Gb 1.8v Super Talent DDR3
Asus P5K3 Del
3x 120mm fans 1x80mm fan Zalman 9700
Creative X-Fi Elite Pro

How can i figure out if my Enermax Infinity 720 will be adequete enough to run this card. What worries me is the 2 6 pin PCI-e connectors... I have enough connectors but; enough juice?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you'll have enough juice...the rig in my sig is ran all on an XCLIO 500watt PSU with a 4870.

Not even one little bit of question in my mind. that PSU is more than enough for that setup.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I was concerned because of the two 6 pin plugs those cards have.


Cheers

I have the same PS and I wonder if it could handle a 4870X2 though.

Unless your Infiniti experiences the "sploding problem" that some other Infinitis and Libertys have experienced, then it sure as heck ought to, or else ATI has got serious issues with their efficiency

My Infiniti 720 just replaced the second Liberty 620 to go CRAAAAAAACK!!! for me within the last couple of years. Hopefully this one won't explode.

I think the 56a across the 12v rail says all that you need to know. Well, unless it explodes again...

Thank you. My default answer to questions like this is that the PS can always run the card, since people overestimate how much power they need. But then AT started saying their massive 1KW PS wasn't enough for dual-4850s. If that is indeed true, I don't know how a 720 watt PS could run the system in the OP...
