Currently have a Powercolor 4870 1gb, if I want to add another 4870 would it be best to find the exact model I currently have, or would a Sapphire (for example) with the same clocks be okay?

A little chart to help:

Basically it will crosfire with any of the 48** series cards, and run at the speeds and with the memory of the lower card. So if you had a 4870 with a 4850 (both stock, and 512MB), each card will run at 4850 speeds, and 512MB memory each.
So to answer your question, you can crossfire it with any 4870 (or4850/4830), prefrably a 1GB one or you loose half of the frame buffer for the first card, and prefrably with the same speeds (tho not needed).

Excellent, just the answer I wanted.
