A10-5800K plus 6670 xfire?

[Guest]

i noticed that trinity is now available for desktops and the A10-5800k has built in 7660D graphics built it. i currently have a 6670 in my non gaming rig, if i were to switch to the A10 would the built in graphics xfire with the 6670 for a descent gaming experience? if so what would be the approximate equivalent gpu

it wouldn't Xfire but it would act like there are 2 gpu's but the 7660D would be weaker

it would add to it, but it wouldnt be xfire

no it wouldn't because there isn't a Xfire bridge that connects them but there are still 2 of them so your preformance will increase

it would work in Dual Graphics Crossfire, and approach a 6770 in capability. I just wonder if it would be work with *two* 6670s

No it would not. I emailed AMD about this and was told the apu would only work with one other video card. If two video cards were put in, you would have to disable the onchip 7660D.

heard that the onboard graphics greatly increase with higher speed ram

yes they do since the cpu doesn't have RAM inside it it uses the ram in the slots on the motherboard.1600Mhz vs.2133 you will get 5-10 fps with the 2133Mhz RAM

 

[ScrewySqrl]

more like 2-5 fps. 1600 is the point of diminishing returns

true but it does depend on the games/resolution that he/she is playing at and also at lower resolution the difference seams to get bigger

 

[Guest]

at least it isnt like piledriver that wont even get past 1600

 

[ScrewySqrl]

Piledriver runs at 1866 actually, but 1600 vs 1866 is still diminishing returns

The A10 can be hybrid-crossfire'd with the 6670.
It's gonna reach the performance of a 7850.
