Can I Crossfire A A10-5800K (Radeon 76660D) with a 260X?

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD FM2 Quad Core 3.8Ghz integrated 7660D A10-5800K
RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-2133C11D-8GAO 8GB
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-DS2
GPU: ASUS Radeon R7 260X DirectCU II OC 2GB
PSU: Antec Strictly VP-500P V2 500W

I'm making a budget pc so I can play games at low/medium. I would just like to know if it is possible to crossfire a A10-5800K with a 260X. P.S Can someone quickly tell me if my PSU can power the system.

no..... a 6670 and a 6570................. and some say a 7750 but I don't know if it really works or not.

No, it has to be an HD 6670. Your PSU is fine.

Please don't crossfire, it rarely works with these AMD APUs. You will need fast RAM to crossfire too.

You could buy an athlon x4 760k instead of an a10-5800k and put any money saved on the CPU / RAM towards the graphics card.

'Dual-Graphics' works well in certain titles -- others, not so much. You should set individual game profiles for APU dual-graphics or individual discreet operation.

I do agree that choosing an Athlon X4 is the best way forward and frees up cash for other needs. I've got a a 750K with an SSD and it's silly fast.

i got a 5800k with an ssd it's and silly fast.

any better single card is better than crossfiring with any apu. neither of these processors is better than the other except for the fact one of them has on die graphics. one of the main reasons for buying an APU.

swifty_morgan :

Swifty are you using a discrete GPU?

swifty_morgan · May 20, 2014

no, not with the 5800k.

I have a A10-6800k with a HD7850. I have played without the dedicated GPU though and I must say I'm impressed by what the 8670d can handle, it's a neat little runner

I had it for over a year and only just ran 1 game on it. FarCry2. ran great at 1280x1024 all settings on high but didn't have time to mess with higher resolution or AA. will get to it some time. But yes, better than some people might think.
