R9 2**, if memory serves.

As far as I know, the R9 290 and 290x are the only ones that do not need one. The rest of teh r9 series are rebrands and thus need bridges.

R9 2**, if memory serves.

the 270x, 280 and 280x need crossfire bridges to work.

[FuzzyYellow]

And the r7 240, 250, 250x, 260, 260x and r9 270.

The 290, 290X, 260, 260X, 240, 250, 250x and 285 are the only ones that support it

Well shucks, I have an R9 270x. 

 

 

Anyway, as he said, most of the r9 series cards need a bridge, some dont.

there is a disclaimer also at the bottom saying this is reference models some manufactures do change this

Oh, hmm. I've got a Sapphire card, and it DID come with a crossfire bridge, so I'm assuming it's the same.

thanks guys, this is my first time going team red for gpus in a build.

Whatcha gonna get? I hope you don't mind the question....just being curious. Btw, I do believe the R9 285 series don't require a CF bridge as well.

[Cheddle]

AFAIK R9 290 / R9 290x do not have the bridge

 

Without the use of a bridge the PCIE speed requirement increases from pcie 2.0x4 to pcie 3.0x8 (2.0x16) - so be sure to check your motherboards actual PCIE speeds (and avoid bridgeless if your mother board sends the second slot over its chipset (pcie 2.0x4))
