Jan 31, 0 18, I just got two 's in crossfire and I was wondering if I should use one or 2 crossfire bridges. I have scoured the net looking for an answer and always run into conflicting information. Some people say that two bridges can hurt performance, but then other sites say that two bridges help balance out the information flow.

So should I use one or two? Intel Core i7 4. Sep 16, 4, 0 23, Doesn't matter, as far as I know. People will 'say' that the second bridge will help. It's only necessary with 3 cards. Apr 12, 6, 0 26, So go with a single one. Sep 12, 3, 0 21, It only supposed to be one.

The second crossfire connector is for adding a third card. Using two on one card can cause big issues, including bad performance and artifacting. So just use one. Feb 7, 1, 0 20, Just one. Technically, it's a glitch if both work, as far as I know Sep 3, 8, 2 31, You only need to use one. I use to use two with my s just so I wouldn't misplace one of them.

Triple crossfire at that time was called TRiple-Play, and the third card was called a Physics processor. It never took, and there hasn't been true triple crossfire until now with the x58, and other newer chipsets that are out there with the release of the new I7 board line-up. Speaking of When are you going to join team Quad-Fire?!?!

Good to know, as the same question crossed my mind after seeing the pics in the review on TPU which shows 2 bridges on 2 cards Hmmm guess it depends on what cards are used IIRC my 's will not engage crossfire with only 1 cable.

To make me fret, or make me frown. I had strings but now I'm free. There are no strings on me. I always wondered about this. That's not to say I haven't had some weird happen before, but I wouldn't exactly pinpoint the dual-bridges as my first suspect. Might be worth some benching with one bridge vs two. Intel Core i7 4. Well I use two bridge connects on my 's and haven't had any problems. I use two because the directions that came with my cards said to use two.

Not only did it say to use two it showed photos of the installation and it used two. Originally Posted by Kensek.
