hehe have you opened the cards yet?...the question would be "Wait why are there no crossfire connections on the card?"

Don't need them any-more especially with the bandwidth of Gen 3.0 PCIe....

The Maximus VI Formula doesn't come with a crossfire bridge. Besides the R9 290 doesn't use a crossfire bridge anymore.

holy smoly, that's right, I forgot, I was having a panic attack, I'm building it right now!y
jesus, for a second there I thought you meant that the R9 290 isn't compatible in crossfire, but I just remembered, it connects via the motherboard and that's it! Unless I'm wrong! 😉

yeah yeah yeah, I simply forgot! Not surprising since they always used a bridge, up until Hawaii came out in October. That's right, correct?

Yeah you're right it's just the 290 and 290X at the moment....I guess Nvidia will head that way too...the bridge's days are numbered...

How's the build going?

I'd be interested in your opinion on the keyboard I have my eye on one of those...
