Crossfire bridge?

[Slam]

I'm thinking of going with 270Xs in crossfire but don't know what crossfire bridge to get.
I have an Asus P8Z68 motherboard that is both SLI and Crossfire compatible (spec below) but it only came with a SLI bridge

Your cards should have bridges supplied with them.

SLI usually comes with motherboards and crossfire comes with the cards.

Have watched some unboxing videos and these cards don't come with them

 

[Uncle Petey]

That's a bit odd. Maybe they weren't looking hard enough?

If you come unstuck, give me a shout and I'll send you a spare

They are not like the R290's and use the pci bus are they.

 

[Uncle Petey]

No, they're based on the previous gen cards and still have xfire tabs.

Btw, I just checked an unboxing vid and it does come with a bridge.

My 270x didnt come with one either mine was the msi gaming but my 280x did have one.

The card I'm considering is the powercolor R9 270X devil, the unboxing videos def dont show any bridge.
Thanks for the offer Uncle Petey

 

[Uncle Petey]

Fair do's. The offer still stands if it turns out that Powercolor are too cheap to throw in the basics

I won't need that crossfire bridge, have decided to postpone my graphics card purchase. To much going on at the moment... Is 2GB enough, is 2 270x cards value for money over a single 290, how beneficial is mantle?
I'm going to play more of the games in my Steam library that will run happily on a gtx 460 (like To The Moon!)
