Crossfire Inquiry

[GoneWithTheGin]

Hello there fellow LTT gents,

 

      I have an inquiry regarding crossfire between AMD APUs and lower level AMD radeon cards.

 

      To give some perspective on the matter: I am building a budget rig for my little brother to get him into the pc gaming space (as opposed to the console aspect), and I am giving him some of my components from my previous build (before I updated my own hardware) as well as purchasing him what I don't have an extra of. I have started him with an APU/Mobo (AMD A10-7700k [http://goo.gl/DWCi49] & Gigabyte GA-F2A58M-HD2 [http://goo.gl/yiFvqg%5D)'>http://goo.gl/yiFvqg])to get him started with a budget cpu.

 

         Now, onto my inquiry, I was wondering if the Mobo supports crossfire between the APU and the lower level AMD card series, and if it does, will an HD 7770 pair in crossfire with the APU? 

 

If you folks need me to clarify anything, feel free to let me know!

From the gigabyte website :

 

''Multi-Graphics Technology''

 

Support for AMD Dual Graphics technology

 

Only A series APUs support AMD Dual Graphics.

You can only DG with an R9-240 or R9-250.
