As stated on SLI Zone u obviously need a separate power supply to power ur rig ...

Besides ur GFX cards will draw the power solely from the Bay + 45-50 Watts from the PCI Express x16 slot.

Any corrections guys ..?

Ya i read on newegg too and also read the views of people their. Moreover we need a sli-certified psu. but i think vx450 is not sli certified. so what in that case.

Dude ..if ur going to run 2 X GTX295s then obviously u need a PSU that can handle a single card in d first place.

Then in order to power the 2nd card FSP Booster might help.

See corsair vx550 can easily handle one gtx 295 and costs Rs. 5.7k and this device will cost around 5k due to shipping and custom charges, so in that case I'll suggest to buy corsair TX850 which will cost around 8.7k and in that case i saved money too and it'll be best suited. :clap:
