No can only crossfire cards of the same generation so:

x850 with and x850

or

X1600 with an x1600

You can use cards of the same generation with different speeds togehter.

Also the x1600 and x1300 do not need crossfire master cards you can use 2 plain cards together and they will work as crossfire(no external cable is needed).
