Need Pro Help With Crossfire HELP!

[bigtrev85]

Hi, community ~ I was wondering..... lol...... do I need a dongle for my new 6850 set up? I got 2 now and am waiting to hook them up. Do I need a dongle? Or just the Crossfire ribbon it comes with for the inside? Thanks!

I do believe the dongle your thinking of hasn't been used in quite a few years. The Crossfire flex ribbon is all you should need

i can also say that you only need the crossfire bridge

For 2 cards in crossfire you need the ribbon bridge and a motherboard that supports crossfire.
