true power trio 550W

Can this power supply power support a radeon 3870X2? There stated must have 2 2X3 pin with minimum 550W. But why does the website over here does not indicate that this power supply does support the 3870X2?

Because it's their goal to convince you you need a 1200W power supply or your computer will explode and kill you and your family.

The one you're looking at will power it fine, though most people here will suggest something bigger.

I also think there's better power supplies for the price.
