What is the correct crossfire setup ?

[sas30uk]

Hi guys

Iv seen pictures about with the 2 strips going into the both crossfire connectors at the top and bottom of the 6950's but others only using 1 crossfire strip so what is the correct way ?

Or this way (the pic at the bottom of the thread) http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036681059

Thanks.

There's no difference between using 1 or 2.
No "Correct" way either, some people just do it for looks.

Thats it exactly , some people say you get marginal gains in performance but you don't because i had used one and two brigdes and it showed no difference in performance .

You need one bridge for crossfire. You gain nothing from using a 2nd on two cards.

IMO, it looks much better

Tempted to install my second xfire bridge purely for the lulz

And agreed that it looks better, especially the custom ones

i always put two on so i know where they are and dont lose them, but makes no difference to performance
