Spec me a new Power Supply for my 2x 290x crossfire setup

[Jordan777]

Hey

My 2nd 290x came today and after i installed it can get into windows OK as soon as i load BF4 it just powers off in crossfire within seconds like someones pulled the plug.

Currently Running a Lepa 750w and i know it wont be good enuf for my 2 cards. It was just off chance it might work.

So my question is whats the best power supply for my 2x 290x ? we are clearly looking at 1000w Plus maybe ?

I have £150 give or take

thanks

i just been messing around and done a heaven 4 benchmark what it was able to run on 1 screen at 1920 x1200. The first run it powered off half way though but 2nd run managed it . The 2nd card is screaming away at 94c but i did manage to get 2200 score on stock clocks.

The 2nd card is defo being held back. Is it worth me uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them

Think i am going to got with this week only PSU at 1300w
