HD4870 package contents

[Tizmo]

Right, for my new computer that I will be building in the near future, I have decided that I will be using the HD4870's in crossfire. I was just wondering, does the crossfire bridge come with the video card or do I have to buy it from somewhere? Also, what all do the cards come with. I am most likely getting the MSI versions, if that is of any help.

Cheers.

My Diamond 4870 Overclocked cames with 1 bridge. 2 are required for Crossfire (1 from each card). It also came with a DVI-VGA adapter, DVI-HDMI adapter, and a SVHS to 3 color Hi-Def adapter. That's it no software asside from drivers.

I checked it out and it seems most companies have the same package contents.

My card has just two 2x3 connectors. No 2x4 connector. The manual states that if I have the 2x4 connector I can use a 2x3 but a 2x4 is required for ATI Overdrive.
