Integrated graphics vs dedicated card

[Rokin]

So my question is Would running an ($140)AMD A10-7850k Kaveri 12 core, 3.7GHz socket FM2+ 95w with integrated graphics(4 cpu cores, 8 gpu cores) in sli(if thats even possible) with a ($100) sapphire radeon R7 260x 2gb card.  

 

Additional information: Basically were this is coming from is my buddy and i are building a budget gaming pc for a friend with a budget of around $600 with some wiggle room. My buddy is selling a motherboard with the kavari chip set, 8g of ddr3 and a case for a total of $150. Leaving $450 for the rest. Now the kaveri chip with the lower end graphics card was his suggestion while i feel it would be better to buy a stronger graphics card say a 960 or 280x? rather than go for the integrated graphics. What do you guys think?  thanks for the info as always.

get the 280x. Better price to performance.

 

If you want it cheap, go ebay.

Be careful though.

 

And no, even if you could run both your interigated and dedicated gpus together, it wouldn't be called SLI.

[Goussy]

SLI is for two Nvidia graphics cards.

[WereCat]

You cant CF R7 260x with A10-7850k.

Get 860k + R9 280(x) / R9 285 / R9 270(x) .. depends on how much money you have got.

SLI = nVidia

Crossfire = AMD

[Comessy]

Pentium g3258 + 280x?

[matjojo]

i think you can use AMD dedicated together with a AMD integrated, must be famaly doe and it is crossfire with AMD

[Rokin]

i always forget that amd calls it something else, sorry!

Is it called dual graphics when you use iGPU and a dedicated GPU?

Yes

It would be better to by a dedicated card

no buy a dedicated video card . dont get apu. i suggest the pentium g3258+ cheap mobo because its very easy to upgrade to an i5 in the future

[mantylt]

Recently I build something similar for my friend. We had very tight budget, so we decided to drop everything we can on GPU. We went with the cheapest acceptable CPU (FX 6300) and rest of money went to 270X. I would suggest you doing something similar. There is no point on spending money for APU, if you are planning to get dedicated card. Just because crossfire between APU and GPU is doable, it sounds like a big hasle with very uncertain benefits.

Yes do not useIntegrated graphics...they actually work pretty decently...if you are looking for a case I have one for sale.
