Sorry if this is in the wrong section(but I think it's here right?) Anyway, Does the psu have good efficiency and also true power cause i don't know how to measure the efficiency on a psu or to add up and declaring it as a true power psu, reason for this question is that i wanna run SLI(Nvidia 7 series) on an A8NSLI-Deluxe and was wondering if the psu has enough juice before purchasing BTW, already googled it, no review says that its either true or not true powerPic of the Spec Thanks in advance

Well if you wanna go SLI, go at least 750W to be on the safe side. You still can use your same PSU when you upgrade your computer anyway.

The thing is the psu is cheap. So how do you measure the efficiency on a psu anyways? or knowing if it's true power or not. The PSU is just to power up my old A8NSLI-Deluxe and wondering if it has enough juice to power up 2 7900gs/7600gt This post has been edited by vedder1979: Jul 3 2008, 11:49 PM

I have no idea. You can try emailing gigabyte's support for the confirmation.

currently using it right now...the true power is 450w
The PSU can reach 550W, but its not true power..
if you want to run SLI mode, at least look for Gigabyte ODIN series with 550W true power...
