Hi. So I was thinking about getting a card that is dual graphics compatible with the 7870k. I know that if I just buy an RX 460 or something I'd get a dramatic fps boost compared to dual graphics but I just want to check it out for the hell of it. I have a question though.
1. Is the r7 240 compatible for dual graphics with the 7870k? All other questions about this are saying that it is RECCOMENDED to get an r7 250 but I just want to know if the 240 can work also. The 240 is also like $20 cheaper than it used to be at launch ($70) and the 250 is still $80-90.

If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

honestly it is simply better for you to get RX460. stuff like dual graphic (hybrid crossfire as they called it in the past) rely heavily on driver support to make them work in games. they share the same problem with regular multi gpu; AMD need to create specific profile for each game else it will not work. and there are many games did not support multi gpu at all.
