I need a new bridge! So, I was putting in new fans today and I decided to clean my case, so I removed my video cards, and the bridge from them Crossfire setup. I stepped on the bridge and it snapped!
Where can I get another one that supports the Sapphire 4770? | My System Specs |

Where can I get another one that supports the Sapphire 4770?  You would probably be best contacting the makers of the card/bridge and requesting a replacement. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom | Whitebox OS Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu 11.04 CPU Intel E6750 @ 3.80GHz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (Revision 1.1) Memory 2x2GB & 2x1GB (6GB) OCZ Reaper 1066MHz @ 1080MHz Graphics Card EVGA nVidia GTX 260 896mb (216 Core) FTW Edition Sound Card Realtek ALC888 Monitor(s) Displays 21" VIZIO TV Screen Resolution 1680x1050 @ 60Hz Keyboard Logitech Wireless S520 Mouse Logitech Wireless S520 - Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse PSU Corsair 750W Case NZXT Nemesis Elite Cooling Thermaltake SpinQ Hard Drives Western Digital WD6401AALS - 640GB

Just measure yours the site provides the size. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built OS Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit / XP Home sp3 CPU intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz Motherboard Asus P5ND bios 1401 Memory 8 gigs 1066 OCZ Fata1ty Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 Call of Duty Black Ops Edition Sound Card Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2zs Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24in LCD's 2MS X2 Screen Resolution 1920x1080p @60Hz Keyboard Logitech Bluetooth Wireless MX5000 Mouse Logitech Bluetooth Wireless MX1000 PSU OCZ 700W GameXtreme Case NZXT Apollo Cooling Corsair H50 CPU/120mm x3 /60mm x2 /Corsair Dominator Ram Hard Drives WD Caviar 500 Black/ WD Caviar 200 Blue Internet Speed Download 19.83 Upload 0.97 Other Info Logitech Z2300 Speakers/ Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones/Avermedia PCI-e Hybrid TV Bravo/Epson NX415 all in one/ 4 Port Powered USB Hub/ LG 10x Bluray Burner /TSST Corp DVDRW External |

You see that is what I was wondering. I usually buy all my stuff from NewEgg, but I was unsure as it didn't list the 4770 as being compatible ... but then I thought well its likely not incompatible ... after all it is just a bridge.
Just our of curiosity, if I was x16 I need two bridges yes? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit / Ubuntu 10.04 CPU AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.9GHz Motherboard MSI 890GXM Memory A-DATA DDR3 1600G 2 x 2GB 8-8-8-24 1T Graphics Card Sapphire 5570 Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Toshiba 40" 1080p LCD Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech s520 Cordless Kit Mouse MX500 PSU Antec Green 380W Case Antec NSK1380 Cooling Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 w/ Artic Silver 5 Hard Drives 64GB Wester Digital SSD

Just our of curiosity, if I was x16 I need two bridges yes? I'm not following you. Why would you need 2 bridges if you only broke 1? Crossfire x16 slot to x16 slot only requires 1 correct? So just measure between the slots, the site lists it in MM so find a conversion site on the net to convert it to inches. And it should work if the measurements are right. This is your card right? Well it came with 1 bridge and from the picture it looks to me like the one I linked you to in the pm should work. From the connection to connection the bridge I linked you to is 61millimeters, which converts to 2 and 1/4 inches approximately, actualy it is 61 mm = 2.4015748 inches http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...20Video%20Card

Thats the confusing part, is that Sapphire came out with another version of the 4770 ... these is the one I have: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100277L Radeon HD 4770 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
The bridge I purchased when I got my motherboard, but I don't see it on the site anymore at all. I guess in short what I am asking is are all Crossfire Interconnect cables the same? Is so I will just get one of the flexible ones.
Thanks. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit / Ubuntu 10.04 CPU AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.9GHz Motherboard MSI 890GXM Memory A-DATA DDR3 1600G 2 x 2GB 8-8-8-24 1T Graphics Card Sapphire 5570 Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Toshiba 40" 1080p LCD Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech s520 Cordless Kit Mouse MX500 PSU Antec Green 380W Case Antec NSK1380 Cooling Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 w/ Artic Silver 5 Hard Drives 64GB Wester Digital SSD

I use Nvidia and a bridge is a bridge the only difference is if your running tri SLi, or the disctance between your cards is unique to that board then you would need to contact the MB manufaturer. Most of the time they are pretty standard.
