Don't think so,cause that ASUS card you have there is a triple slot card.
I would go for a two-slot card just to be safe:

The msi card has a lot of good things said about it.

I wouldnt as even if it did fit the airflow between would be terrible. I have one and they are massive and theres no way i could get a second on my motherboard (asrock gen3)

Then you heard wrong.

it should do. You can always ask a member of OcUK staff?

let me rephrase, my brother bought 2 msi 6950 from scan and he didnt recieve a bridge...

Then that's MSI's fault, not the other e-tailers fault(you better take the other e-tailers name out as your not allowed to mention competitors names).

AMD supply CrossFire bridges with each card.

Nvidia Sli bridges are supplied with the MB.

I have owned 4 AMD cards and got a bridge each time.

I bought 2 of these from ocuk and received a bridge with both

Got both of mine from them too, got a bridge with both, so maybe the first batch didn't come with them, but lets be honest, you can pick them up for less than a fiver on a well known auction site

let me rephrase, my brother bought 2 msi 6950 from **** and he didnt recieve a bridge...

Which version of MSI 6950, the TwinFrozrIII? I thought mine didn't come with one until I realised it was in a not so obvious (to me ) at first, slightly hidden compartment underneath the main packaging. Just to clarify, I bought mine from OcUK and it came with all the correct accessories, so if you're considering buying one from OcUK I would expect you to get exactly the same.

phone ocuk 1st and ask them if there is a bridge in with ur order. i got 2 msi 6850's and not one had a bridge. got a asus crosshair 3 motherboard on the same order, didnt have a bridge. had to go to ebay.
