Do 2 RX 580's in crossfire require some sort of bridge

[BLAZNGCOLDBACON]

I plan soon to upgrade my gtx 960 to two RX 580's and put them in crossfire but do they require some sort of bridge like Nvidia SLI or is it just done in a program. Or should I just wait for Radeon RX Vega 56 to come out.

well the 2 rx 580 require crossfire bridge and vega 56 will launched maybe on 2018 so just buy crossfire bridge cause you already have the gpu's

its cheap just 10$

Modern AMD cards do not require a bridge for crossfire. RX Vega is due out this year.

@OP it's generally recommended to buy the single best card you can rather than xfire/SLI.

no. AMD crossfire no longer using bridge for several generation. but as TJ Hooker said better get faster single GPU rather than doing multi GPU if you can. going forward (starting from Vega series) AMD will focus less on multi GPU system.
