Brand difference does not matter, the GPU on those 2 are the same so you can crossfire them yes. Also that page you linked displays 4 graphics card Crossfire as potential so yes it will work.

 

Edit: However the x16 slots are x16 2.0 and x16 1.0 and I do not recommend this. I recommend getting a motherboard with 2 x16 2.0 slots at least.

Why and how?

You could get MSI afterburner to set it.

The performance of the each GPU will be limited to that of the slowest GPU, so there's no point in generating more heat by having one run faster.

Also, they might not even work together like that. (Not 100% sure though)

Remember to be a good citizen and choose a 'best answer' when your problem has been resolved!

(that way people know when a problem's been resolved)

Just go into afterburner and set an OC and tell it to do that on startup. You can do that for both GPUs and then you are fine.

 

Also Crossfire is very different from SLI in the sense that you only have to have the same chip but not exact same GPU. So a 7950 worked with a 7970 because they both have a Tahiti XT core.

So you could even crossfire your card with a 290X, because both have a Hawaii core.

 

With SLI you cannot combine two GK 104 cores. Not saying that that is worse, just different.

Crossfire is very open, SLI pretty much locked down. DF is therefore sometimes less stable, SLI sometimes more.

 

EDIT: I jsut realized I said something wrong here. Of course you can combine two GK104 cores, just not a 670 and a 770.

PCIe 1.0 is very slow, that's why.

So it will make my new GPU slow?

If in the 1.0 slot then it could be slowed but I just read that AMD reports no performance decrease in 2.0 8x (which is 1.0 16x) you could also just be fine
