Just got my 2nd 7850, currently running them in x16 / x8 (PCI-E 2.0) using a crossfire bridge from my old 4870s (my 7850s didn't come with a bridge) and I don't think I'm really seeing any performance issues atm. I have both cards clocked @ 1000/1250 and both are folding @ 100% 24/7

I can't wait to get these cards under water, I'm just currently holding off hoping either EK will go back to their old design (unlikely) or another company will release a waterblock for the 7850.
Hopefully someone can answer this for me... I am currently as I mentioned using my bridge adapter from my 4870s, is there any difference between the bridges for the 7xxx cards and the 4xxx cards? Is it like I'm running a USB/Sata Rev3 in a USB/Sata Rev2 port or will this not matter at all?
