Well AMD does not restrict you making a crossfire from a 290 with a rx 470 but it recomends that the cards should have similar performance. On short yes you can, experiment with it as long as your PSU can handle both cards.

First of all he doesnt need to buy anything, he just got an extra card laying around, why he shouldnt try? If it works then he got extra performance, if it doesnt then just remove the weaker card. Nothing bad can hapen.

now what you are doing is telling him random things to not look bad
cut it out
the classy thing to do is say "sorry, i misunderstood CF" then bow out and learn
if his power supply is not up to the task it very well may harm his computer to try

Let me quote myself "experiment with it as long as your PSU can handle both cards" . Not saying random things, there are chances to work and yes i took in consideration the psu damage and warned him in the first post, this is the main condition to try it, as long as his psu can handle it.
