AMD Cuts Price of 4870x2

I think the official requirements from ATI say a 650W PSU is the minimum (didn't see any mention of minimum current on 12V rail), sadly. I also have a Corsair HX520.

That said, if anyone has experience in running the card on < 650W power supplies, do say!

Edit: Sipha, are you sure on that? Hope you're right!

To semi-hijack, does anyone know what the PSU requirements are for a 4850 X2?

Anyway.. Hope we see these price cuts working their way into the UK market soon!

These figures are to be taken with a pinch of salt. They include some ass-covering wattage in there to avoid complaints from people with terrible PSUs (e.g. q-tec's) that can't deliver anywhere near the advertised specs.

Yeah I guessed as much. Which is a good thing as I'm currently running a HX520 and will be considering a 4850X2 if the prices come down much.
