Is it possible to use a ati 5870 and hybrid crossfire it with the 3300 from the 790gx chipset so i could get a boost when
anti-aliasing?

I don't believe so. If it is possible, there's no reason to do it. Hybrid CrossFire takes the specifications of the least powerful card and downclocks the more powerful card(s) to meet that. So, if hypothetically it did work, it would be like two 3300s; that is obviously worse than one HD 5870.

Hybrid crossfire is only useful for old cards like the low end 3xxx series but mostly for cards that perform around the lines of the HD2600
