Crossfire Interconnect Bridges

[lake2k]

Hi I Have My system on crossfire we 2 x 4850s, and was wondering is it better or more important to use 2 bridges, i had 2 but one broke and now just using one i cant see any difference but just trying to find out

Also even though am prob in wrong section does anyone no if theres any major known issues we 3dmark 06 and vantage on vista 64 ie screen hangs or screen going blank which results in having to reboot.

This only seems to happen when doing tests on a loop


Thanks

Nah will be fine with one, the other connector is for running 3 cards.

Can use 1 or 2 according to this article, using just one won't cause any harm though.
