[SOLVED] AMD Crossfire different cards

Solution
No, they need to be the same card.
There are some exceptions like same model but different memory sizes (4 GB RX 480 and a 8 GB RX 480), cards that got rebranded (like R9 270X with HD7970), cards with different clocks that are the same besides that (like HD 6970 with HD 6950) or certain cards with certain APU graphics (like A10-7850k with R7 250) But in general you need both to be the same card.
