Post Crossfire Questions.
So i recently built a computer as some of you may know.

The Graphics Card i used was this Radeon 5770.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150447

But I've been thinking i want to Crossfire these because i have heard good things about the 5770's crossfired.

Problem is that My XFX 5770 does not include with a crossfire bridge.

I would rather not have to pay extra for the Bridge.

Most other brands (Sapphire,HIS, Etc.) Include bridges.

So

1. Now if i am correct i should be able to use another brand of Video Card as long the Specs match, correct?

and

2. These are the two i am currently looking at:

Any info on the brands?

HIS brand.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product

Sapphire brand.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 0HD%205770

If i overlooked anything let me know.

Thanks.

I don't really want people posting and saying don't do it; Unless you have a valid reason.
I also don't want people to say just buy 1 great card because i just bought this 5770 and want to utilize it.

Yeah your straight mossy u can crossfire any brand of gpus for ati they're really flexible. ur gonna get some kick ass performance lol also Sapphire is top ATi distributer so i always recommend either Sapphire or XFX for ATi. just make sure it actually comes with the bridge lol or else thats an extra 10 bucks or so
