Thread jack! Would that NZXT Hale 850W be sufficient for two 6950s in CrossfireX? I'm preparing for the apocalypse and it's a well priced PSU with good reviews.

Kinda on topic so I don't look like an ass: I ran two 5770s for about a week and a half before selling them and getting my 6950, they run VERY well! Most strenuous game I ran on them was the Crysis 2 MP Beta which, depending on who you ask, isn't that strenuous (DX9).

Easily, I don't see how it wouldn't. It's not hard to figure out. Look at the video card specs which usually list what it needs for power, cross reference with the sticker on the PSU.
