Crossfire Bridge Required?

[caf20012]

Hi,

I've purchased two Gigabyte RX560 4GB GPU's for my Gigabyte - GA-F2A88XM-D3HP Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard and i'm just wondering if i require a bridge?

I've tried searching online and can't seem to find anything.

Dual GPU setups seem to be falling out of favor lately due to lackluster support in games, and crossfiring two low end cards has never really been recommended. Also, the 2nd PCIe x16 slot on that board is only PCIe. 2.0 x4, so bandwidth is equivalent to PCIe 3.0 x2. Not optimal.

I would recommend getting a single, more expensive card than two cheap ones. It sounds like GPU mining (which has been driving up prices for mid range cards like RX 570/580, GTX 1060) has taken quite a hit lately, with a bit of luck they'll start being available at reasonable prices soon.
