destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

hi im wondering if i could pair my gtx 760 with a r9 card in.

cookybiscuit · Aug 4, 2014

No, you can only pair cards of the same manufacturer and model.

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

ok so should i sell my gtx 760 and get a r9 card?

destructor 44 :

Depends on the R9 you have. If it is a 270 or 270X, maybe. If it is a 280/280X nope.

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

why not? cause what im planning is to use them in dual graphics with my apu.

6R1M01R3 · Aug 4, 2014

destructor 44 :

There isnt any R9 that can be used in dual graphics with an APU.

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

how bout r7?

destructor 44 :

As a general rule apu hybrid crossfire sucks ass, it's for very tight budgets and people that don't know any better.

The gtx 760 is already more powerful than any possible apu dual combo.

You are way better off turning off the apu built in gpu.

Overclock your cpu, keep the gtx 760. Your cpu would bottleneck anything better.

on there website they you can

destructor 44 :

Yes you can... I don't 'know why people are saying you can't all you do is install both drivers -.-

Not all APUs are weak dude....... The highest A10 can even just barely do r9 290 crossfire .-.

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

bottle neck? are you sure? what if i overclocked it?

maxalge · Aug 4, 2014

destructor 44 :

The best you can use is a r7 260x? I believe.

The gtx 760 is about equal to a r9 280 roughly.

Would be a downgrade for you.

The best a10 can't even feed a single 7970 properly.

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

No need to be harsh though destructor 44..

destructor 44 · Aug 4, 2014

well im sorry macalge but not ever one money has money for intel yoplait and amd for gaming there ok but if i did have an intel machine i wouldnt really know the difference like most people so it saves me some doesnt mean im cheap.

LogicalProcessing · Aug 5, 2014

Hey @destructor44! I would recommend selling your GTX 760 and getting a R9 280/280X if you have the money of course. You'll notice a huge improvement in the FPS, between 15-25 FPS higher!

~Logical

destructor 44 · Aug 5, 2014

ok what would you recommend?

maxalge · Aug 5, 2014

Yoplait95 :

cpu boss??? Really?... LOL In actuality a 2500k blows an a10 out of the gaming waters.

a gtx 760 is closer to a 280.

A sidegrade really going anything higher, because an apu would bottleneck.

maxalge · Aug 5, 2014

destructor 44 :

Not really, its basically a 4300 performance wise. I know exactly its "potential".

Ultimately it's up to you, see you on here after the "upgrade" and you are wondering why fps are the same.

destructor 44 · Aug 5, 2014

well dude i get it intels better and al that bullshit but im not gonna buy $500+ intel parts cuase all i what is a different graphics card or should i wait tell amd or nvidia come out with new cards?

can you pair a gtx 760 with a r9 card?
