hi, do the hd5570s come with a crossfire bridge?

if not where can i get one? overclockers dont seem to have any on there website.

and i cant really upgrade the cards as im on a budget, two hd5570s for just over 100 quid i wish i could go for hd5830 but cant!

im also getting a new mobo looking to spend about 80-100 quid on one so if any one can recommend a mobo AMD3 800chipset, with a crossfire bridge be great!
 
This might seem mean, but why do you want to crossfire the 5570 from the go?

First review I picked up highlighted it fell behind the 5750, which can be had within budget, and won't suffer from potential crossfire issues, which can sometimes mean you get no benefit at all.

The main point of crossfire at this level, is adding another card to a preexisting setup at a later date, it seems a little strange to go this way from the go.

Honestly, I'd go for a stronger, single card at this pricing level.
 
ok ok point taken, i was just looking a getting a cheap setup for my brother who wants 2 graphics cards. i'll dig in my magic pocket a lil deeper and get 2 hd5830s for under 200 quid
 
If you are willing to spend 200 quid on graphics cards might as well get yourself a 6950 or a gtx 560, they both blow the 5830s out of the water
