I am doing an experiment with an old computer I have, and decided to seek online help before I try. I have an old firepro v8750. I did some research and it has a very similar part ID to the AMD 4800 series. - ATI FirePro V8750 (FireGL)" = ati2mtag_R7XGL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9444 and ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series" = ati2mtag_R7X, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9440

Also, The v8750 is built upon the RV770 architecture of the HD 4870..

I was wondering is it possible to run both cards in crossfire, despite one being firepro and the other being Radeon. I looked up the HD 4870 and it physically looks identical to the v8750, besides the paint job.

I realize I could just buy a new card, but I am just learning and playing around. So i don't want to break the bank. 4800 series cards are under 30 dollars on eBay right now..

You can certainly try it, but the answer is very likely NO, you can't Crossfire the FirePro with the Radeon. The BIOS differences will probably prevent this from working.

I had tried with 2 different GPUs before (another FirePro/Radeon combo) and it didn't work.
