Eg er ad reyna ad skilja thetta Amps requirement a nyju ATI 5000 linuni, eg er med Tagan 1100W PSU og herna fyrir nedan eru speccin':

Nu, thar sem hvert +12v rail er 20 Amper, og thessi grafik kort taka i sig 2 rail, tha skil eg thetta sem PSU sem getur gefid 40 Amper fra ser i 5870 / 5970
Eg hef lesid ad 5870 thurfi 40 Amper, og sidan sa eg thetta fyrir nedan um 5970 a guru3d.com
Radeon HD 5970 (dual GPUs)
The card requires you to have a 600 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a fairly high-end system. We assume you'll overclock your processor and that draws a lot of extra power. That power supply needs to have (in total accumulated) at least 50 Amps available on the +12 volts rails.
Radeon HD 5970 CrossfireX (quad GPUs)
A second card requires you to add another 294 Watts. Be on the safe side please, have some spare Wattage as here we are sure you are overclocking your processor as well. You need a Kilowatt Watt power supply unit if you use it in a high-end system. That power supply needs to have (in total accumulated) at least 70 Amps available on the +12 volts rails.
Tharna stendur (in total accumulated), thidir thad ad madur reiknar saman thessi 2 rail sem fara i grafik kortid, eda erum vid ad tala um ad reykna oll 6 rail sem gefa total 120 Amper - getur verid ad Amperin eru 'shared' thegar thad eru bara 2 rail i notkun?
En ja, eg held ad thad se nu bara vitleysa ad fa ser 5970 a E8600@4.2GHz, midad vid ad i7 965@3.7GHz se med vandamal ad keyra thetta monster, anyway, thad vaeri sammt finnt ad vita hvernig thetta virkar, fae svo mikid af mixed info a netinu. Afsakid slaemu islenskuna, bjo erlendis i morg ar.
