I don't know if they still use the interconnect cable, mine came with a block that goes on the cards inside the Pc..... I'm not 100% sure as I have never hooked up 2 cards.

Default Powercolor HD 3650 crossfire question

Thanks for the reply...when you said the crossfire bridge is internal, is that with the motherboard or with the card as part of the product..my board and card didn't come with it:swearing:..how about the drivers...I heard that it enables crossfire with the driver settings.is this true and has anyone done it..

Heh? Your card is supposed to come with a crossfire bridge, it's standard IIRC
