I think they should work, I'm not a 100% sure. Crossfire models don't have to be exact like SLI models do. You would put the higher performing model as primary of course. I'm sure some of the gamers here could give you a better answer.

With themselves, yes. It says in the title. With each other i dont know. you could have specified in your title what you were looking for.

No, the tahiti and only link with another tahiti, pitcairn with another pitcain, even though they are both "7870"s

mo. one's a tahiti core and one's a... 7870 core thing. yeah. it's like trying to crossfire a 7950 and a standard 7870. won't work (the 7870 LE is basically a 7950)

Just like SLi they have to be the same GPU, it's just that you can use a broken one with an unbroken one.

No that doesn't work.

The MSi 7870 is a Pitcairn, and the Powercolor is a Tahiti, they are totally different chips, you can only crossfire within the same "family(i.e, you can crossfire 7x50 with 7x90 but not 7870 with 7950)
