• ATI Crossfire Question

Hi. Can I put a Powercolor ATI HD5850 and a (Different manufacturer here) ATI HD 5850 as a second card? What are the criteria for crossfire?
I believe the only difference is in the GPU that should matter.

You can mix and match ATI cards in CF mode, there's a chart that tells you which cards can be in CF mode with which other cards. You can have like a 5850 with a 5870 or two 5770s, or a 5770 and a 5750, etc. Mixing two of the same type of card (like two 5850s) that have different clocks may result in one card being downclocked to match the other one though.
