My mobo is an EVGA X58 tri sli, it just also supports crossfire. Let's assume my mobo supports tri crossfire for a moment (I still haven't looked around and checked on that yet I want to see if I can even crossfire three 7770's first) So I guess the question is then obvious, can I tri crossfire three hd 7770's? Here's the kicker though, the first 7770 I bought about a year ago has a slot for the crossfire bridge. The new one I just bought does not, but they still crossfire, I'm still able to go to catalyst and turn on crossfire and gpu-z says: crossfired (enabled
), I guess they just don't need a bridge? If I bought a third card I would make sure it has the bridge slot. What I would do is put the two cards with crossfire bridge slots in my two pci-e 2.0 x16 slots and put the third card without a slot into the pci-e 2.0 x8. Would it work? Would I even need the bridge as the two I currently have are crossfired with no bridge?

apparently not cause my 7770's are crossfired w/o a bridge, like I said the one I got a year ago has a slot but the other one doesn't. I called amd and they told me I didn't need one
