what is your a8's model number?....i would suggest you to buy a graphic card that supports crossfire with your i-gpu on your processor so that you can scale better results and make to fullest out of your cpu.

7850 or 7870

Dual'ing your A8 with a card will definitely help your game performance quite a bit.

If you have a trinity based a8, you can dual with a 7750 (£73.63)

If you have the older a8, you can dual with a 6570 (£39.99)

*However* neither dual setup will come close to the performance of a 7850.

you can choose the hd 6770 and crossfire it.
you should get performance somewhere between a 6870 & 6950

Dual'ing with anything higher than a 6570 is a waste of money; the card will perform as the APU's 6550.
