SLI-Ready Power Supply Help

A lot of gamers are troubled everyday by power supplies that simply don't provide enough power for their SLI
PC. When buying a power supply for gaming, it's important to look not only at the total output (for example
500W) but also at the output that can be supplied on the 12V lines (graphics cards draws power from the 12V
line). But stopping there is not enough. Since most power supplies have multiple 12V rails it also makes a
difference how these are distributed. For example if they are split into two rails and one rail is dedicated to the
CPU, then you are only left with half of the 12V power for graphics and all other power requirements. As you can
see, you really need to do a very detailed analysis to figure out whether or not a certain power supply is going to
be adequate for your system. For this reason, NVIDIA provides a list of certified supplies that have been tested
to pass the power requirements for SLI PCs. Simply tell us what GPUs you have and we will provide you a list of
power supplies that are tested to have enough power for your PC. Visit here for more information on NVIDIA's
power supply certification process and test configurations.
