Will a 5850 run well on a 500W PSU?

I've had 2x8800GT's in SLi on this PSU, so I'm fairly certain that a single 5850 should run well on a 500W PSU.

I've been out of the Hardware Enthusiast market for a while now, so I'm not really up to speed on the latest requirements by the new GPU technologies.

I will be upgrading from a ATi 4850 to a ATi 5850. Cheers for your help fellas.

if it can sli 8800gt then i think it will run 5850 with no problem .

I have a 5850 and I use a 650 W PSU if that helps. Since other users say there is no problem with a 500 W PSU, you could go for it.

im running my 5850 on a 500w psu so i would assume its okay..

I have a PSU with 80% efficiency, it is an Antec EarthWatts 500W -CheeseEater-
