My specs:
MoBo: Asus A88XM-A
Processor: A10 7850k
GPU: Sapphire R7 250 1gb GDDR5
RAM: 4 sticks of G.Skill 2gb f3 10666cl9d 4gbxl
PSU: EVGA 500B
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 320gb
Monitor: Viewsonic VA1912wb

I tried almost everything. I have my iGPU Multi Monitor enabled, set my display to PCIe, set Integrated Graphics to force and set UMA frame buffer is 1gb. When I go back to CCC, the Dual Graphics option still doesn't show up. My last desperation attempt before becoming this into a dust collector or sold to someone who is capable of fixing it better than I do is overclocking the RAM to 1866mhz. The problem is that; 1
. Is that model overclockable?
2. http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketFM2/A78M-A/FM... My RAM isn't in this list. Is this list supposed to be the compatible RAM for Dual Graphics?

Please help me. Thank you.

The Sapphire R7 250 is capable of running two monitors - both monitors should be plugged into the GPU (none to the mobo).

Thanks for the response but right now in the Philippines, it's late and I need to go to school. In the meantime, please tell me how to activate dual graphics. I would like to know. Is 1333mhz good/compatible to this setup because all I see from others is 1600mhz, 1866mhz and sometimes above?

[Update]

I'll do that once I'm home.

its not great.... as APUS love fast RAM... but its compatible.
setting up dual graphics is easy. Just use the catalyst control center and enable it

for the AMD catalyst control panel to setup dual-graphics - both monitors must be connected to the GPU. Windows can add multiple monitors over multiple GPUs - have you tried enabling it there?

Update. I'm replacing my MoBo soon since that Asus board is nothing but trouble with occassional hangs and blue screens but the question is, which of the three motherboards will (IDK how do I understand this) get access to Dual Graphics easier and doesn't hang or blue screen? 1. ASRock Fatal1ty FM2A88X+ Killer (my choice) 2. MSI A88X-G45 Gaming 3. Gigabyte F2A88X UP4

Also does these motherboards can overclock my basic looking ram safely to 1866mhz?
