ok so.... i dont know how to do it lol :confused:

This is my build (or will be when i get it):
$170 - GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
$199 - Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz
$360 - XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 x2
$93 - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
$55 - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB HD

What will i need to do besides plug them in the MOBO and tell Bios it has 2 video cards. sorry im completely in the dark here so ill take all the help i can get!!
 
Everyone was a noob once as well, not only you.

Most of the time (depends on motherboard) all that has to be done is plug the cards in with the CFX Bridge and install your drivers, and that's it. Nothing that has to be set in the BIOS or anything. The drivers will see the Crossfire setup and enable on a reboot.

After, start playing games. :p
 
it came with your cards. Kinda gold and like 3 or so inches long and it links both cards so they work together.
 
will u b overclocking or just crossfiring cause my anwser to your question will change with your answer to my question.
 
i might overclock later but i dont know anything about it. plus how would i improve the cooling to those cards to keep their temp down?

as for right now, im just crossfiring

where does that cable plug into?
