I have an original sapphire 5870. Can I crossfire this card with a Sapphire Vapor 5870? I currently have mine Overclocked to the speeds of the Vapor.

You can, but I believe you have to reoverclock the standard edition card back to those speeds. That's because CFX downclocks the faster GPU to the slower one's speeds.

So basically it is like having two regular Sapphire cards in crossfire, unless I re-overclocked.
