I've been trying to source a SLI bridge cable, ebay seem to do them but i'm not a huge fan of ebay due to getting some dodgy gear a while back. Also some of the prices of them are sitting at £11 and up.
What sort of price should i expect and can anyone suggest other sites than ebay.

Looking to link 2 asus 560ti on a MSI 870a Fuzion mobo.

Thanks
 
You aren't allowed to discuss competitors or post links to competitors on this forum so I don't think much help will be forthcoming, sorry.

Did your motherboard not come with an SLI/crossfire bridge?

If not, are you sure it's supported?
 
Oh sorry bout that, helps to read the small print i guess.
And no it came with regular connectors for lights power and a couple of sata cabls etc.
The board has two pcie slots so it can run SLI, Crossfire or one of each type.
On thinking however i do have a crossfire bridge but i'm assuming they use different sizes and spec for nvidia and ATI.
I don't suppose ocuk supply them? I have been searching but just can't find anything.
 
Some boards do not support crossfire and SLI even if they have 2 PCI-E slots. You need to check that.

If your board came with a crossfire bridge then that sounds to me like it supports crossfire only.
 
Crosdsfire bridges only normally come with an ATI card. You cant use them on an nvidia card.

Might be worth asking ScottiB on here ( the MSI rep ) if he can help you out with a SLI bridge :)

According to the review i just read your board supports both SLI and Crossfire :)

EDIT : If you plug in both 560s you should be able to enable SLI even without the bridge :)

i had the cross fire from an old ati card i won a few years ago.

Thanks for advice will try and see how i get on.

Hmm, one of the reasons i bought this was for ability to use SLI and crossfire...
Perhaps time to upgrade.
