I have APU "AMD A8-5600K APU with radeon HD graphics" and GPU R7 260x and I am wondering is there going to be option to crossfire them in any future soon?

there are certain gpus that you can crossfire with the APU, the only one today is the r7 240, if you do that youll get a solid 20 fps improvement in most games at 1080p.

but still, you can later buy a high end gpu, and disble the apu part, youll get lower cpu temps and the a10 is still a decent powerful quad core.

You can't crossfire the two... You can run them in parallel though...

 

I've got the same setup and I tried to do it immediately...
