Where to get a Crossfire connector bridge thingy?

[shauncr91]

Bought a new mobo today from OcUK and another 6870 to go with my current one in crossfire. However the board didn't come with the little cable to connect the two cards.

Phoned OcUK and a few other large retailers and nobody seems to supply them. Does anybody know how I can get one of these? A bit frustrated since I was looking forward to building it today

I've only found the item from one place but there's this on the site:

5970 5870 5850 5770 5750 5650 5450 5430 4890 4870 4770 4850 4830 4670 4650 4550 4350 3870 3850 3650 2900(XP, PRO) 2600XT 1950(XT, PRO, GT, GTO) 1650XT. PCI-E graphic cards
Also compatible with ATI x2 cards such as 5970, 4870x2, 3870x2

Should this support my card too?

The crossfire bridge should come with the graphics card man.

as above should be with the graphic card

Neither of my cards came with the bridge, both are HIS

Will email you now

Ok, email received, off to post it now. I've chucked in two bridges, just in case. You never know.

I don't want anything for them, but thanks for the offer.

Happy crossfire scaling.


Edit : just had one thought, my bridges are from the 4000 series, I assume they will fit a 6000 card?

My Sapphire 5850s didn't come with a crossfire bridge either, it seems the older reference style cards only came with them

I bought a HIS 6870 a few months back and it came with a Crossfire bridge, so not sure why your's didn't..

I don't see any reason why they won't work, couldn't find anything online about the bridges being unique to different series cards.


Thanks again

Strange, I got one in both my HIS and MSI 6950s
