for 3870's, yes. But maybe not for 3870 X2's.the corsair 520 will be enough for crossfire.

im not sure about that but ppl have been using the corsair 520 with the 8800gt in sli paired with a quad.
And to my understanding the new ati's use less power.

one 3870 X2 would definitely run on a Corsair 520W PSU. But two of them.. well, considering that they have two GPU's each, that's 4 GPU's to power.is there that much of a difference? wouldn't it actually be less power consumption because you have both chips on one board, therefore you would only need one cooler, albeit a more powerful one, but not two. Also the x2 is almost identical to 3870's in crossfire, so where does the extra power consumption come from?
idk the 520hx has more amps (54) then almost all 600-650 watt ones
omg check this deal

G92 GPU's use 65nm die's, which are used in the 8800 GT's and 512MB GTS cardsaaaaaaaahh, i missed that you were talking about crossfiring the x2's. yeah that makes sense.
and yes the ATI's do use less power. If I am not mistaken the ATI 38xx series has 55nm die's and the nvidia 8800 series all use like 80nm or something that.
