    First off, can you do Crossfire with two different brands, but of the same generation? I have the XFX 5770 and don't reallly see a noticable difference between it and HIS' 5770 except for a price tag difference. If it's possible, is there a significant perfomance difference between two exact same cards versus two different cards of brands, but the same generation?

    it should work
    there shouldn't be a performance hit even though they're different brands

    1) Brand of card doesn't mater when pairing cards for crossfire. In fact, I think the only requirement is that they believe from the same family of cards; ie you can pair any two HD4K cards or any two HD5K cards. 
    2) Also, yes some brands are better than others; however, you'll be safe regardless of the brand you purchase.
