What to look for when getting a bridge for a second 7870 XT?

King Mustard · Apr 1, 2014

I am about to buy a second 7870 XT (Tahiti LE).

Will any CrossFire bridge work, or do I need a CrossFireX bridge?

Do I even need a bridge?

Should I get one or two?

I'm pretty sure most GPUs come with one...

Someone Somewhere :

I'm trying to remember if my first 7870 XT (VTD3D Black) came with one.

I think I threw the box away after 6 months and probably threw that away if it came with one.

The second one should, and I believe you only need one.

If it doesn't come with one, you can pick them up for a few dollars off ebay/amazon/newegg.

So all of these will work?

The swiftech ones are for watercooling between cards - not what you want.

If you get a rigid one, make sure it's got the right spacing for your board.

Your cards should have come with it. Any CF bridge will work. Do not use the SLI bridge that came with your motherboard.
