I just did a AMD build using a 970 Gaming MB and two 270X 4g Graphics Cards....The Problem I ran into was after opening my Motherboard box. I recieved all the usual items in the Box, but whats strange is that I received a Nvidia SLI Bridge Ribbon, and not a AMD Crossfire Bridge Ribbon!!!

Why would their be a SLI cable in a AMD MB, and not a Crossfire Bridge.  I've already spoke with a MSI rep who told me to contact sales. After emailing sales a few days ago, still no response!  AHHHHHHHHHHH!
 
Well... I never found crossfire bridge in any motherboard I ever had. I only found it once, in AMD HD 7770.
Slightly weird when you buy AMD based motherboard and you find SLI bridge but no XFire bridge  :bonk:
 
After looking it up through several sources, I have verified that the MSI 970 Gaming motherboard does not come with a AMD Crossfire Bridge ribbon.  Why they decided to include a Nvidia SLI Bridge ribbon, is completely confusing to me.  Pairing a Nvidia GC bridge for a AMD Set-up????   


Anyways.  If anyone has a black MSI AMD Crossfire Bridge ribbon they would like to trade for my Black MSI Nvidia SLI ribbon....feel free to message me!
