(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Can you crossfire the Radeon HD 6850 and the Radeon HD 6950. I want to do this because I already have the 6850 but I want the 6950.

No. You can only crossfire the same cards.

OVER 9000!
"CrossFire can be implemented with varying-GPU cards of the same generation (this is in contrast to Nvidia's SLI, which generally only works if all cards have the same GPU). This allows buyers who have varying budgets over time to purchase different cards and still get the benefits of increased performance. With the latest generation cards, they will only crossfire with other cards in their sub series. For example, GPU in the same series can be crossfired with each other. So a 5800 series GPU (e.g. a 5830) can run together with another 5800 series GPU (e.g. 5870). However GPU's not in the same hundred series cannot be crossfired successfully. (e.g. a 5770 cannot run with a 5870)"

Ideally though - you'll want to use the same or extremely similar cards.

In other words, No. You cannot use them. However if you buy a 6870 then you still could Crossfire.

But 2 6850's could run Crysis 2 @ a good 35FPS on very high settings at least. They are pretty darn good for the price.
