Hello, I've recently built a APU rig. I have been running on the integrated graphics until now. I am looking to buy a GPU that is better than the 6550 on the APU but which won't be bottlenecked by my CPU.

My budget is anywhere from $150-200.

****NOTE: I do not want the 6670

System specs.

AMD A8-3870K Quad Core 3.0GHz (O.Ced to 3.5GHZ, UnderWater)
Asus F1A55-M LX PLUS
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Corsair Builder Series CX500 V2 500 Watt
Seagate Barracuda SATA3 6.0Gb/s (1TB)

Are there any other cards than the 6670 than can crossfire with the APU? I don't really like the 6670 as it seems a littler overpriced and I never seem to find it at any stores. Anyway I've heard alot of people saying that crossfiring anything with the APU will only give you a 20% performance increase at the most, so spending a little more on a better GPU seems to be the better way, also crossfiring with the APU will turn any GDDR5 card into GDDR3, which seems like a waste of money.
