I know this has been discussed time and time again but I only see old threads regarding this and the net is a terrible source for information on this. I am looking to do dual graphics for my new build and I already have all the parts and its put together minus a new Video Card. What i want to know is has anyone tested this APU with anything higher than a 6670HD. I want better performance and since my 550 ti died I am looking to get a Radeon to take advantage of the dual graphics option.


here are my specs:

CPU: AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz (4.4GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop Processor - Black Edition AMD Radeon HD 8670D

MOBO: MSI A78M-E45 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

RAM: Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model TLYD38G2133HC10QDC01 (going to add another dual channel kit in a few weeks)

Case:XION XON-560 mATX/ ITX Meshed Mini Tower Case, USB 3.0, Black/Blue LED

PSU:COOLMAX CU-500B 500W ATX 12V V2.2/EPS 12V V2.91 Modular Power Supply( being replaced when i get the video card)
 
yea i looked at those. I was hoping for someone that has already done this and could tell me if they had any issues with what ever card they used.
 
OK i guess i need to be more specific in my questions

I am looking to get the HIS r7 250 its a crossfire card and i wanted to know if i could use it to do hybrid crossfire or if there is anyone here that is using any r7 cards to crossfire with this a10 APU. my second question is this i would like to see some real world benchmarks using games like wow and rift such as that and not using MSAA and such i mean most people i know do not play games at max settings. I am using this to play world of warcraft and want to know if i can expect decent FPS in game comparable to my current pny 550 ti that is dying.
