Are these cards CrossFireX compatible? Two cards, one motherboard. Sounds kinky.

Hello, I have this card in my PC and I pretty sure I can CrossFire with this card but I'm not sure and figured I would ask.

Both cards run at the same speeds, memory, etc, so you should be good to go :)

It might be a little while before I order it though, I'm finding myself low on cash. I will let you know however when I do pick it up.

I have the money to order a card now, but there is another card I want to know if I should get instead, this one. The one I suggested before was this. And of course they must be compatible with the card I already own.

I like this one: SAPPHIRE 100283L Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail

Both cards are identical so it doesn't matter which one you get but I like the red color in this one :P

I also want to make sure that I won't have to have the exact card that I already have because my motherboard's book say this in the requirements for CrossFireX: "In Dual CrossFireX mode, you should have two identical CrossFireX-ready graphics cards or one CrossFireX-ready dual-GPU graphics card that are ATI certified."

Well the cards are definitely crossfire compatible. What motherboard do you have?

I just read your manual for the mobo quick and it looks like you are fine.

I attached your motherboard manual below. Scroll down to chapter 5 and it has step-by-step instructions on everything you will need to do to get the machine up and running smoothly.
