hd 5670 x 2 on cm real 460 watts

Will Two HD 5670 will work on cm real power 460 watts
with phenom x 1055t
msi 890gx
4 gb gskill ddr3 ram
2 x hdd
1 x odd

for crossfire do you need some extra cables or something else ?(learned from somewhere one graphic card should be master this is confusing me)

according to me
procy 150 w max
mobo + hdd + odd =75w
gfx 150 w max

total = 375w

and what will be cost of sapphire hd 5670 will two of them will be under 10.5k
i want a crossfire so don't recommend 5770 or any other single gpu.

It doesnt need a connector.It outperforms a single HD 5770.
But I wont recommend it.Because its the waste of a crossfire.Get a HD 5770 now and add another HD 5770 in future.Thats the best way to go.

+1. add 1 more point. crossfire not very efficient, in compare to SLI. so go for a single HD5770.

better get a single HD5770 in a latter time. that will be better.

for now OC IGP & check how much fast games run.

That is contestable now...! Xfire scales quite well, specially when gaming >= 1920 x 1080.

so scenario has changed. heard a ton that Xfire not able deliver much good compared to SLI in majority of games.

I also plan to do the same. Have Hd5670 right now. I will add one more HD5670. I presume VX450 should drive this crossfire. Just want to crossfire for the heck of doing it :p

Do read this. The Xfire delight is HD5770. They kill a 5870 even..! But remember guys, for Xfire please be on full HD, else it is useless.

problem is i want to crossfire which is possible only with 5670 because 5770x2 costly and my psu is a limitation.so will be going with 2 x 5670 and this is all for fun man!
even a 5670 will suffice my need
just want to try this also.

you answered your own question. if a HD5670 suffices for now. take a HD5770 so it'll be enough for a couple of years (provided you don't go HD gaming).

if the above point valid for you, why asking about Xfiring 2 HD5770. thats a overkill for both you & your PSU.

Man..you are doing a gr8 mistake.Just buy a HD 5770 for now.Then in future
after a long time when you get budget sell your PSU and buy a HD5770+PSU
Otherwise you are wasting your money in 2X 5670.

use the cooler master PSU calculator & decide yourself.

others advised not to follow your plan cause you'll be the one having a loss.
