SYSTEM SPECS:
- AMD A6-3650 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz. (It has an integrated AMD Radeon HD 6530D graphics inside).
- 4GB Ram.

QUESTION:
I am trying to get a new graphics card which is COMPATIBLE for DUAL GRAPHICS on my APU system. What i would like to know is which graphics card i should get to use dual graphics with my system. Also I asked around and someone said i should get an Radeon HD 6570. I found a few online.

I would like to know your opinion on these cards and weather these would be sufficient or if there is a different card i should get.

they will be compatable but the one in your apu will have a little trouble keeping up to the faster 6570. it is likely you will run into stuttering problems while gaming. I would recommend going for a 6530 instead if you can find one, or even a 6550. The closer the card you can get to your integrated one the better, as a sli or crossfire in your case, setup will only run as fast as the slowest card

so if my system will only run as fast as my slowest card, then is it really worth it to crossfire?? will i see a significant boost while gaming??

You will, but only in some games. Personally i would wait until you can do a full system upgrade, but if you can find a 6550 for a really good price, then by all means go ahead

sli and crossfire do not work in all games equally, and so the performance increase will vary from game to game being as high as an 80% increase in performance, to as low as a 0% increase in performance depending on the game

I play a game call Warframe and i get around 26-35 fps, this is a relatively graphics demanding game, nothing like bf3 or anything but id like to know if i can get atleast a 10 frame boost for a game like this.

Sorry to trouble you but i have a few more questions. Im looking for a good Radeon HD 6570 card and there seems to be many different versions such as ones with 1gb or 2gb on amazon. If its not too much trouble could you please post me a link to a good 6570 card on amazon.

OK last question i promise, will my system be able to use this graphics card as the primary gpu since my computer is an APU system? and is my system strong enough to handle it. my system model is a A55F-M3 incase you need it

all you need to do to make sure that your power supply is more than 350 watts. If it is, then it will be no problem whatsoever. If it is not however, then you are going to need a bigger power supply before you can expect much better gaming performance than what you are running
