Hybrid Crossfire worth it?

I am building a new system, and will be using a 785g mobo that has a built in 4200 gpu and will pair it with a 5770 discrete gpu.

My mobo states that it supports Hybrid Crossfire, and as both card are ATI, will be able to enable the set up for my combo? And will it be worth it? from I read a 4200 doesnt have much juice in the to begin with.
 
You can only Hybrid Crossfire with low end cards. It may still only be 3400 cards, though I'm not sure. And no, I don't think Hybrid Crossfire is worth it. Hybrid power had some potential (before it was killed off), but now with the low idle temps of new cards, that is not really worth it either.

ty for all the replys, I find it kind of funny the lower end mobos tend to have intigrated GPUs while higher end ones do not, one would think not having an integrated GPU would be cheaper, I guess i'll just disable mine :(
