Hello, all. Since the new 900 series Maxwell architecture requires about a third less power than its Kepler predecessor, does anyone know what the minimum PSU requirement will be for two GTX 980s SLI'ed together? How about two 970s? Will my current PSU be able to handle two 980s or two 970s? The following is my current setup. (I don't overclock anything, by the way.)

* Corsair HX850
* ASUS Crosshair III Formula
* AMD Phenom II 1100T 3.3 GHz 6 core CPU
* (2x) Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model # 996770
* SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW
* Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    429 watts @the wall for an intel 980 SLI system.
