I have 2x7750 ddr3 2G gigabyte GPU's do I need a crossfire bridge to actually have them cross-fire? I bought a bridge as a just in case I was wrong but I don't see any place to "install" a bridge. Also I might have $400 to burn soon What would be the best bang for the $, 1 what I would deem expensive GPU or 2 semi-B.A. GPU's with Cross-fire/SLI?
If this is true thank you for holding your laughter, and if you did at least I didn't hear it :)
I was thinking powercolor everyone seems to really love them, or I was looking at MSI Frzr cards they seem to be of a good value. I want to stick with AMD but if someone can sell me on NVIDEA I'm willing to see and hear what they have to say.

With around $400 to spend and with the system as it currently sits, I'd probably go with the best graphics card I could afford and call it a day; either the Radeon HD7970 or the Geforce GTX770.

As per the AMD CrossfireX Chart, the HD7750 should not require the Crossfire Bridge.

I would note, however, that the Gigabyte 2GB HD7750 overview page does not specifically state that is supports CrossfireX (as opposed to the HD7790 overview page.

As for what you should burn your available funds on, that would depend on the rest of your system specs and your systems primary uses (note plural).

I like the 7970 idea but I'll look into the 770 I have only really looked at the 7970. Appreciat'cha, Im still gonna look into cross-fire alittle bit more. I'm abit OCD and if one goes down I have an extra or if I decide for some random reason to set-up another rig I have one, OH WAIT I got 2 f-n GPU's sitting right here. Oh Sorry one more thing would it be better to run one of my 7750's or use the intel 4900 graphics? Or can you suggest or send me a link with some good GPU info so I can check it out and stop bothering you with newby questions.

Ok sorry I got bigger issues I got an A2 debug code on my mobo and I don't know how to fix it. I can't get into bios or DOS. I took all my drives out of Mobo gonna boot withough them in and see if that will clear it so I can at least get into bios.
