Crossfire Psu

[Sumer]

Hi, im currently in the middle of upgrading my rig and with the cpu (i5 3570k) and mobo sorted (waiting on delivery). I was then going to turn my attention to a new gpu, either a 7950 or 670 but I just realised that the sapphire hd6950 has went down in price and would go perfect with my identical sapphire hd6950. Ive decided im going to go crossfire because I just want to try it instead of going down the usual (and I guess safer) route. Im looking for a suitable power supply that will power both cards and most notably any input on experience with these 2 cards in crossfire as ive read more positive than negative reviews on the net but a few negatives can over shadow many positives when your spending a bit of money in my opinion. Thanks

What's your current PSU? It's probably better than you think.

It isn't worth spending £180 on another 6950 now, when you can get 7950's for £220.

6950 is a step back IMO. get a 7950 and save up for another if you want to go the CF route.

Current psu is a corsair gs600, it doesnt have another 2x6 pin pci-e connectors. I guess that makes a lot more sense getting a single 7950 with an option to cf later down the line. Cheers
