two graphics cards help/ CrossfireX

[ethanmason21]

I own an asus m11bb pc. I have pictures of the information of the pc in the attached files. The graphics card on the pc isn't very great and I want to upgrade it. But I read it is integrated graphics so that sucks. But when I opened up my PC, it looked to have seemed to have another empty slot for a graphics card and underneath it, it read CrossfireX. I did some basic research on CrossfireX and the opinions are different, some people say its just as easy as buying another graphics cards and putting it in. But other people say different. I came to the fourms to ask what is the best way to upgrade my graphics card. Thanks. PS: I am only 15 years out and have basic computer knowledge.

Your current GPU is a iGPU, an integrated GPU.  It's part of your CPU, which AMD calls an APU.  You can just get another GPU and slot it in and disable the GPU you are on now.

some amd graphics cards can crossfire with your iGPU but i'd go with a better gpu like the R7 260X or GTX 750/750 Ti

What is your budget? Also you can just get a single Nvidia or AMD graphics card. Install the drivers and use that card. You don't need to crossfire with the integrated graphics.

You could buy a graphics card and plop it in. That would give you better performance.

The board supports CrossFireX, so if you move it to an ATX case, you can use two graphics cards in CrossFire. Not really worth it though since two high-end GPUs would be bottlenecked by even the highest FM2 APU.

 

 

As others have stated above there's also Dual Graphics which will allow you to combine a low-end dedicated GPU with your APU to improve graphics performance, but it's of little benefit outside of a certain number of games that scale very well with low-end CrossFire/Dual Graphics, it's better to just get a higher-end dedicated graphics card and disable integrated graphics.

My Budget is around $100-$150 for the new graphics card.

Someting like this http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=94331&vpn=02G-P4-3751-KR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1428&promoid=1428 would be best, I don't think it even needs external power.

Get a 750 ti but make sure it's one that doesn't need additional power.
