and im not sure what video card i should buy. i looked at the chart and i see the 5450/5550 cards are compatible. do the cards have to say crossfire capable or can i use any 5450/5550 in that family

i tried to use my friends 6570 and it would not enable crossfire. isnt my board the only hybrid crossfire because it has a 4250 GPU on it?
