About 550watt, with 40amps on the 12v rail. Imagine these in SLI, you'd need a small nuclear power plant.:shock:

I think you would even want more than that, like 600-700w to make it run safe

Also requires a PSU with the 8 pin and 6 pin pci express connecters. Took me some time to find a PSU with those and the right amount of wattage.
