I've already got some, but i need a 295x2 to add to the collection.
I'm embracing my addiction in recent times, No point holding back anymore.
Haha, you are the collector mate !!

^^ Haha, love that. At least i actually have a pc though.
Just buy two Matt , you know you want to
AMDMatt do you think my Corsair AX860 could cope with Trfire with a 295X2 and a 290? :3 I have the watts monitored and my system isn't even drawing enough to make the PSU fan spin at load (80% according to the manual). I'm pulling about 580w at the wall when gaming or running 3D mark. So that's like nearly 300w left over ^_^
Maybe I can't justify the expense of another 295X2 buuuut.... I saw some Trifire benchmarks earlier with the above setup and was impressed

I would seriously doubt that would be enough.
I have a Superflower 850w PSU, Haswell i7 overclocked to 4.5Ghz and 295x2 and I wouldn't add a 290 to that system.

It might work, but I'd probably recommend a 1000W SuperFlower PSU just to be safe.

If it helps, I just ran a couple of maxed out gaming benches with a 3970x @4.4/ ~1.35v with cards at stock.
Tomb Raider avg around 780W.
Sleeping Dogs (ze test of doom) avg around 950W
Peaks were obviously a bit higher.
