Crossfiring

Are you able to crossfire two cards such as a 7970 and 7850 or does it have to be something link 7970 and 7950?

Edit: Just realized i had posted in the wrong section, sorry.

7900 cards can only be crossfired with other 7900 cards, 7800 cards can only be crossfired with other 7800 cards.

Except for the new HD7890, which has a Tahiti LE GPU, that one can be paired with the 7900 series

club3d, powercolor, & maybe HIS made them... or was that 7990s

also, club3d & powercolor are the same company/manufacturer

club3d's was a 'joker' named card if i remember, & even worse, they still called it a 7870
