2-way SLI what?

600W is enough for 2x460, and 700W is plenty.

Agreed and I have 750W which isn't much different and even I have no problems at all running my two 460s.

I just went from a GTX 470 to a 6870 and I love both cards. The 6870 is quieter and uses less power

6870 would be my choice. I use 1 monitor @ 192x1080 for ALL games and it handles all my games just fine.

Why do so many people choose 6870? Better performance 470

At its max, the 6870 draws 80w less than the 470
