Yes you can crossfire a iGPU and a dedicated graphic card. How? Go download AMD catalyst drivers from their software support from the APU list. It will automatically detect both the dedicated hardware and APU.

But a question you have you ask yourself is "does it get any performance gains?". Your HD 6670 runs faster than the 8670 and has larger memory bandwidth meaning more information gets transferred resulting in better performance.

Remember your graphic card uses GDDR5 dedicated memory, while the iGPU uses system DDR3 ram which is much slower than GDDR5.
