We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Crossfire requires the same GPU so cards must be from the same series. You can mix and match within a series for example a 6850 and 6870 would work in Crossfire together but not a 6870 and 6970.

Yeah sae goes with brands, as in you dont need to have the same brand just same gpu series like previous post said.
No the 6870 will not crossfire with the 6970, but if there was a 6930 that would work in theory. Note there is no such thing as a 6930 it was just an example.
On a side note be aware that you have the 6970 which is 2gb though there are 6950 with 1gb if you crossfire those i think it only goes to 1gb of usable vram. HF members correct me if I am wrong but thats what I was told in the past. Has it changed with newer series?

Also to add to this AMD recently named their new gpu release 6790 but that gpu is really a barts GPU and should be able to crossfire with 6850 or 6870s. It doesn't go by the number so much as the actual GPU.

I thought it was required for an exact copy of the same GPU such as 5870 and a 5870. I thought 5970 + 5870 was an exception because the 5970 was a just a dual 5870 GPU. I've never seen 5870 and a 5850 crossfired before...
No. 5850 can be crossfired with a 5870. 6870 can be crossfired with 6850. Likewise, you could crossfire a 6990 with a 6950. The is just AMD/ATI though- Nvidia DOES require 2 identical cards (only 580 with 580).
Is it possible to run 2 different cards on crossfire? I currently have an 6870 and was wondering if I could crossfire an 6970 with it?
+1 absolutely right!
