Intel gpu/chipset crossfire support

[nefalagen]

I am Interested to learn anything at all use full about using the mobo crossfire support to directly crossfire a discreet gpu with the integrated on board chipset gpu tech that uses ddram for extra power. I am especially interested to find If this concept is being brought into the market as a ploy to get extra sales on baseless speculation or if "in the right  hands or not" it could be used to minor or major advantage to get the best out of consumer grade products for gaming, or even everyday desktop rigs.

 

Please help me with this guys! I have been everywhere on all major search engines and briefly combing through all of the major tech forums and have found NOTHING on integrated gpu crossfire other than (being conservative here...) a brief video on intel saying.... oh well ummmm were going to sit on our hands a while... no really the said in this video that they have the tech to do it but are working on drivers  for enhanced results!? REALLY..... well that really speaks for it self! I THINK NOT.... There is alot more to be said for this technology and I think its time to get it into the open!! CMON Linus, We need to find some answers here. Is intel just tugging at ropes and chains again hoping to find fairyland or is this REAL. BTW this video is AGES OLD..... Ok enough raving, cmon guys lets get some usefull answers here please.

intel cannot. as there is no discrete version of their integrated GPU.

 

AMD CAN do Xfire with it's APUs, but only VERY low level discrete cards like the R7 240.

 

intel could only do a dGPU+iGPU solution if they still made dGPUs.

 

and likewise Nvidia COULD do dGPU+iGPU SLI if they made CPU/APUs

I have read an intel press release that has since disappeared in the last few weeks that stated they are still working with amd to work the hybrid channels of both styles on their motherboards. With That said, I am most interested int the fact that most of the integrated intel drivers are trying to support on board crossfire between integrated gpu tech and discreet gpu's in order to enhance the capabilities of mid to high end graphics cards. I am not going to post the speculation of the WIKI pages here but i think it may be worth looking at for someone that is willing to comb through it. This entire subject is like a ghost or the ever elusive "sasquatch". No one has found a direct answer to this question so they simply settle for "no". I am not going to lose interest in this subject and am going to continue my search.
