I have a desktop computer with an AMD A10-5800K APU and am wanting to add a bit more horsepower for graphics processing. Right now I'm looking at crossfiring (2) Radeon HD7770's but the question I have is if that will work if I disable the iGPU on the A10? My MB has 2 PCI express 2.0x16 slots so I assume this will work but I don't know for sure and just wanted to see if any else knows?

A lot will depend on the motherboard itself.

It will work. The onboard graphics should automatically get disabled.

I believe most people would ask for the specific motherboard you're using, and that in itself will usually tell you if you can crossfire or not.

My MB is an MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 FM2 AMD A85X, bought it from Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... it says it supports crossfire and like I said I assume I can put in the two 7770's and it will work but I just wanted to see if anyone wiser than myself knew better. Thanks!
