Mr. Jones Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just got a couple new radeon cards in the mail and neither came with a damn crossfire bridge (new internal style). I don't suppose anyone bought a recent ATI card and isn't going to use their bridge before I go ebay one tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Isn't your motherboard supposed to be the one that comes with the bridge? I know it is that way with the nVidia stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually both of my previous Nvidia cards came with SLI bridges, but my new ATi cards didn't come with them. GRRRRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I thought the new Crossfire didn't require a bridge. What are you running now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I thought the new Crossfire didn't require a bridge. What are you running now? There were several iterations of crossfire. Original external cable crossfire "low end" crossfire IE: when the 2 cards can talk across the pci express bus without any cables (again really low end cards only) "xt" series internal crossfire (like sli but you need 2 crossfire bridges) And the newest "crossfire x" Where you only need 1 crossfire bridge for 2 cards (closest to sli). I got 2 HD 3870's and neither one came with a bridge (pissed). I'm just going to newegg it, but alot of 3870's came with them from what a read and alot of people dont' do crossfire, and thus figured maybe one of you bastages might have one lying around.
