Can I crossfire 1GB Saphirre 5970 with an 2GB 5970 ?

Radeon 5870 vs. 6970 vs. 5970 no fps improvement in GTA IV

CPU: Intel Quad Q9650 @3.8 GHz
RAM: 8GB (4 x 2) PC2-6400 @ 840 MHz 5-5-5-16

Until recently, I've had 1GB Radeon 5870.
I was stuck in some games (GTA IV, Gothic 4) @ average 25-35 fps in 5040x1050 Eyefinity, no matter ...
