I currently have a visiontek r9 290 and I was wondering if I will be able to crossfire it with another r9 290 of a different brand. Would it be okay if the two cards were clocked differently?

Yes but do note, if you crossfire a card which is at 1050mhz and another card at 1020mhz the 1050mhz card will downclock itself to the lower clocked car which is indeed the 1020mhz card.
