Ryzen 2200G crossfire

[WSewell1]

Hey guys, so I need some help on this one. My buddy is planning to upgrade his rig to a Ryzen 3 2200g. He's currently rocking out on a ASUS Radeon RX 460 4GB OC edition GPU. What were going for is to run the cpu and gpu in crossfire. My questions are as follows:

1.  Is this a good idea?

2.  What kind of performance could we expect?

3.  Would 3200MHz RAM matter on this one?

4.  Would it be better to just get a ryzen 2600x, and run the gpu as a stand alone?

 

Let me know if you need more info, and I appreciate the help. I tried to research this on my own but can't find much info.

Upgrade from?

 

Also I don't think Xfire works with APUs and GPUs anymore.

yeah, don't think it does. Get the 2600x if you can, and he can upgrade the GPU a bit later.

Not worth it even if it does work, it would be a stuttery mess. Get the 2600 and OC it to a 2600x and run the GPU by itself, and then put the money saved from the non-x chip and put it towards a good motherboard or future GPU upgrade.

Right now he's running a A10-6750K (I think. Pretty sure tho). It's pretty old and he has a nasty gpu bottleneck.

Hmm..Well I'll take your guys word on this one. Dang!! I feel like it was a missed opportunity to not have crossfire on these chips tho!

You mean CPU bottleneck.

The 'bottleneck' is the part which is the limiting factor, not the one which is limited by another.
