Xfire Bridge? Does this card come with its own Xfire Bridge? If so is it a long one or a short one?

If you are the type of person who is only satisfied once he/she gets a third answer - I own one of these bad boys and I can say it does not.

I'm using this same bridge on my Asus X99 Deluxe with 2xEVGA GTX980 SC ACX2.0. Works flawlessly and lights up. I've heard that the EVGA logo on the bridge won't light up with GTX970s, but I won't believe it until I see it. If you have EVGA cards, this should work with GTX7XX series and up. Even if it doesn't light up, it still works just fine as an SLI bridge and adds some extra bling to your rig if you have a windowed case.

these cards no longer use crossfire cable, they do crossfire through PCI lanes, and I recall a review using a 4770k OC and two of these monsters on a corsair 1500w and it wasn't enough on some games at 4k, so you may need more depending on the resolution you will play on. And dont forget to get a beefy surge protector

No. Regular PCI or PCI-X(mainly server mainboards have this) only. PCI-X and PCI Express are different. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X

If you mean link these 2 cards with bridge, Id say no: Sli works only with cards of the same model.

Previous posters pretty much nailed the differences. In addition to the interface differences, I will add that this card also features separate dedicated controllers for each port, as opposed to just one controller for all ports typically found on the PCI-E x1 cards. Net result is better throughput especially if you have multiple USB devices connected. Everything USB did a nice write-up for this card highlighting the differences much better than I can. Check it out.

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference.Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.

Yes, I use two and agree with Patricia's comments. The SDXC cards seem to read slower than the CF.

The larger card is installed in a PCI Express slot. The second smaller (slave) card is mounted onto your case, not your motherboard. There is a cable that goes from the larger card into the smaller card. Both cards get screwed into the case but only the larger one is inserted into the PCI-E slot on your motherboard.

Standard PCI Express with a single-width x16 graphics slot. Mine just plugged into my PCI Express slot without issue and the card works great.

This is a pcie x4 card. Most similar but cheaper alternatives are only pcie x1 cards. That means it has enough bandwidth to support using all of its USB 3.0 ports at their full highest speed all at the same time. With an x1 card you could really only get the maximum speed out of one of its USB 3.0 ports at a time. Of course this card also requires an x4 (or x8 or x16) slot available on your motherboard. If all you have is an x1 slot to use, then that will limit what type of expansion card you can populate it with, so be sure and check first.

Yes, it indeed does. In fact, it comes with a Crossfire cable/connector that you can use to connect the two cards.

I own two of these cards. They have an 8 pin and a 6 pin for the molex connectors. Does this answer your question? If not let me know.

Sorry. You should have gotten an X32. The Presonus only does Firewire, and their Firewire does not work with what is normally built into most PCs. That is, you have to get a Firewire card with a Texas Instrument Chipset. If you have an older laptop with a PCMIA card slot, you are in luck as you can add a Firewire card. On the other hand, if you have a desktop or tower computer, you can add a quality Firewire card for about $20 if your have any slots left. http://www.amazon.com/3-Port-Firewire-Adapter-Card/dp/B000HDKVDQ/ref=pd_cp_e_2 Hope that helps!

AMD card are the only ones do Crossfire technology, Nvidia cards have S.L.I(does the exact function). This card can do up to 2 way S.L.I, so if you have 2 pcie slots and decided to get two of these you'll be able to run them together in S.L.I

No It does not come with a crossfire cable, you will have to buy one separately.

Sorry I can't help. I was forced to return the card because there was no documentation. Not even on the internet. The front-panel terminals were NOT in the standard "2x5 one missing pin" arrangement. My current Asus Xonar DG card works well, but two things: You must disable automatic driver downloads in Windows and only then install the driver CD. Otherwise there are erratic mouse issues. I would recommend the Xonar DG. Similar cost and no installation issues. Hope this helped a bit.
