Pair with as in Crossfire or just a CPU? Generally Crossfire in that configuration is crap, just buy a better processor.

depends on what your doing and your budget

amd a8-3870k is a compatable crossfire apu. Best apu to pair with that graphics card via crossfire

you can use it, what motherboard are you using? Any PCI-E 2.0 or 3.0 slots will work. And it will work with any processor of the two you listed

so, i can make AMD Dual Graphics on both a8 or a10 with old 6850?
which port i should use ? discrete vga or onboart hdmi?

many thanks

Motherboard supports PCI-E 3.0 and the CPU

unknownofprob · Dec 28, 2013

so you want to use both graphics? both GPU and CPU?

unknownofprob · Dec 28, 2013

if you want to use both graphics you have to use both VGA and HDMI as you can't crossfire onboard nor that card

The AMD A85X/A75/A55 series platform showcases AMD Dual Graphics technology, allowing users to further boost 3D graphics performance by adding an additional discrete AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics card* to the system. This unique Dual Graphics technology means users can enjoy higher frame rates on the latest gaming titles, utilizing the processing power of both discrete and integrated graphics processors.

i just use 1 output monitor-
the discrete vga only for enrich and to boost the onboard vga, since i use big screen monitor, which hdmi port i use? onboard or discrete?

unknownofprob · Dec 28, 2013

Well, I'd use onboard as the graphics card is connect to the motherboard with the CPU (which has the graphics), the GPU and CPU aren't connect so you can't use the graphics card output so use the motherboard one.

That sounds like you can use both Discrete and Onboard, I didn't think you could on just one output but you'll have to see.

Onboard, In bios there is a setting which enables you to pair both the integrated and discrete card.
