I've been building Home Theater / Hyperspin gaming PC's for a while now. Recently, someone asked me to build a little higher end rig. So, here's what I got:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX (with crossfireX support)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851
2 x XFX R7 260x 2GB Video Cards
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150689
Now... The video card box and the page claims crossfire support, so I ordered the Bridge as well. Being very familiar with Nvidia's SLI configuration, I knew I would need the bridge. However, I just opened the box for the first card and there is no bridge slot on the video card(s). The box says it has crossfire support, newegg says it has crossfire support, and the XFX's website says it has crossfire support, but does it?
If so, is it handle by the motherboard and doesn't need the bridge? Or am I out of luck and need to RMA the cards for cards with a bridge?
