Does anybody know what the minimum power supply recommended is?
Looks like it's a minimum 500w requirement according to the AMD website.

Well single monitor setup and not using high res. I do plan to OC the cards, but I heard the 7850 has more head room for OC than the 7870. I only plan to keep the card for 2 years max.

It's about $100 more. You're right, still, not fair comparison.
What would be? Physx is just too much of a cool factor for me to pass up.
