Crossfire Bridge RX480

[Nikolai828]

Does anybody know whether the RX480 is going to ship with a Crossfire Bridge in the box? I've heard some people say 'All AMD cards come with one in the box' and others saying the opposite, thanks

IIRC AMD no longer need to use a Crossfire bridge, if they do then it should come with the card.

With the new line of RX 480 cards due on sale the 29th of June according to Amd for the main release date.

The cards cross fire internally via each Pci-e graphics port if two cards are fitted.
By using the Pci-e graphics card slot the speed of data transferred is much quicker than using the old bridge type cables you used to use to cross fire two Amd/ Ati based gpu graphics cards together.

More bandwidth Nikolai828.

Correct, modern crossfire is bridgeless and uses the bandwidth of PCI express

So I don't need any crossfire cable or extra cords? I just plug them both in and go?
