I own an AMD A10-5700 APU and a AMD Radeon 8570 GPU, I was wondering if it's possible to use dual graphics with this combination of components.

Thanks.

Yes, you can run a monitor from both the APU and the graphics card at the same time.

No, you need to run a 6XXX series card to get dual graphics with that APU.

Phillip, he's not asking about running multiple monitors, he's asking about the equivalent of Crossfire with APUs.

Ah, my bad, but what does "dual graphics" mean if not two monitors?

Dual-Graphics is what AMD calls it when you 'Crossfire' a dedicated GPU with the GPU inside an APU.
