Hello everyone, I am a computer building beginner, hoping to make my first computer in the next couple of weeks, but there is some information I can't find. Can my CPU ( Intel i5 4960K ), and my graphics card ( Asus Radeon R9 380 4g ) double up on graphics, and work together maybe even make better graphics overall, how would I be able to do this?

They actually already showed a demo with an intel igpu and titan x. 36fps to 40fps which isn't much but would be more with a lower end card since it would be on lower settings. Might as well use everything you have if you can right? http://wccftech.com/directx-12-multiadapter-technology-discrete-integrated-gpus-work-coherently-demo-shows-big-performance-gains/

That can be done with the GPU cores inside a AMD APU and a dedicated AMD GPU for Hybrid Crossfire.

Solution
The only game that supports multi-GPU with different kinds, Ashes of Singularity, explicitly states to disable your integrated graphics because it doesn't even work with other GPUs, mostly due to its inferior performance and surely other reasons. I even tested the game out with a 750Ti and R9 390, trying to combine them, but it did not work because of the performance gap. So only similarly-performing cards really work well with the DX12 multi-GPU.
