Hey i have a HIS 4890 ordered on newegg... mainly becuz it is the same brand of 4890 that i am planning to crossfire it with. But i just found an xfx card at my local best buy, and for $20 cheaper i can get it tomorrrow instead of waiting till teusday when the card from newegg would ship. My question is will i run into any problems using the xfx card with my HIS card? here are the 3 cards:

my current card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161276

HIS card on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161298&cm_re=his_4890-_-14-161-298-_-Product

XFX card at local Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/XFX+-+ATI+Radeon+HD+4890+1GB+DDR5+PCI+Express+2.0+Graphics+Card/9566025.p?id=1218125775469&skuId=9566025
 
Solution
Nope, it should work perfectly. All of the chips are made by ATI, the OEM doesnt change anything that will affect a cards ability to crossfire with other makes.
