GTX570 SLI power requirements

Not really planning to do it, but I was interested what king of power supply would be necessary for a dual GTX570 rig? Let's say it has either a 990X or a 2600k highly overclocked as well.

750W is enough for 570 SLI but 850W is preferable especially if you overclock.

So, if I slapped a couple of factory OC'd GTX570s into my first rig in the sig, everything would go out in a puff of smoke? Good. Since I can't do it, my wallet will thank me now .

Your X-750 will handle it easily, it's capable of delivering full continous 750W

Aw, man, why do you have to tempt me? The whole FXAA deal under new drivers essentially solves the whole 1GB VRAM limitation for a while too. Arrrgh!
