Last year I bought an XFX Radeon HD 7850 I am willing to put $300 into a new GPU my question is should I just buy a brand new single graphics card for $300 or I was thinking it might be better just to buy another XFX Radeon HD 7850 and put it into crossfire mode. That way I'll have double the GPU power right? So my FPS will improve while gaming.

That looks exactly like the card I have currently. And I know that I have 1GB of dedicated memory because I checked in Display Settings - > Advanced Settings. Also, If I did buy another XFX Radeon HD 7850 what if I bought the 2GB one and crossfired it with the 1GB card I currently have? Is it important that I take the card out of my computer and lookup the model number and buy EXACTLY the same card as I currently have for this to work correctly?
Also, with today's games would I be able to play just about any game on the highest possible settings with good fps If I put this card in crossfire mode? I only have 1 monitor with 1280 x 720 resolution
