Native CrossFire and the connectors
The connector(s)
Sapphire ships a couple of these SLI bridge-like connectors in the package.
We have the ATI CrossFire connector on the left and a regular NVIDIA SLI bridge connector on the right. You can see that the CrossFire connector utilises a few extra pins.
Look at the connectors from the top and you'd postulate that they were laid out the other way around; they're not.

Look, ma, no silly external dongles!
