What are you crossfiring? You would need an additional 6670. Only AMD boards with certain CPU's will do hybrid crossfire.

I do not think the 6670 comes with a bridge connector so you may not be able to xfire or it doesn't need a bridge.

A single card does not need a bridge, and by bridge, I take it to mean CrossFire bridge. Take a look at the pic below, note the two ribbon like attachments on the left, where the cards are attached to the case, those are CF bridges.

Yes but you need ANOTHER card (two 6670's) in that motherboard to enable crossfire.

Yep, heck, with a Tagan 600W PSU, OP can gor TriFire (though the HD6670 supports up to dual CF config only). My question is, why do you feel you need to CF? What games and resolution do you play games at?

Do not CF just because you can, rather, CF only when one card is not powerful enough for the games you wish to play at the resolution and ingame setting. I don't know the game you had mentioned, but if your HD6670 can handle the game at whatever the res you play at, with whatever ingame setting you have the game at, and still get playable framerate, then do not bother with CF.

If the single HD6670 cannot play Knight (is this KOTOR? That is, Knight Of The Old Republic), you have two choices, either get another HD6670, or, sell off the HD6670 you have and get a more powerful single card....like a HD6870, HD7770 or HD7850 2GB. The HD7850 alone is probably faster than 2x HD6670 in CF mode. You have a powerful PSU, so your choice of cards isn't limited.
