Hi,

My Spec's:
A10 6800K
MSI A78M-E35 FM2+ / FM2
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 2133
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus

I've starting gaming recently, mostly Diablo, and I'm thinking about gaming more, maybe getting BF4. What would be a good (under $100) choice for a gpu to pair with the A10 6800K and crossfiire? I know its an apu and I'm not expecting to be able to play on high settings and getting 60 fps.

Thanks!

If you mean Dual Graphics, the HD 6570/6670 is the mate to the on-die GPU of the A10-6800K.

If you went with a discrete card as suggested by joeteoh99, you will probably have better frame rates and smoother game play. Not all games are optimized for dual graphics. And the single R7-260X will probably be faster than the dual graphics solution.

Thanks. If I go with a discrete card does the igpu just go to waste? I had the illusion that I could run in dual graphics with less expensive card and get equal performance as a more expensive discrete card.

If you use a discrete card, the iGPU will be idle, yes. Dual Graphics with cards of that class are not all that powerful. It doesn't take much in the way of a discrete card to out perform them. And not that many games are optimized or even recognize Dual Graphics. It isn't quite the same as Crossfire.

Btw, apparently that link I posted above is broken. AMD has this obsession with moving their web pages around. Here's another site: http://www.cpu-world.com/info/AMD/Recommended_graphics_...
