I have been pondering this a while now and have yet to find any information helpful via google.  I am curious about the ability to leverage the currently disabled graphics cores on my APU to increase rendering performance in Premiere.

 

I am currently running a A10-7850k on an AsRock a88x chipset with a cheap NVidia 750TI card for CUDA cores.  With the release of OpenCL, I was thinking about putting in a AMD based GPU, but only if I could also enable the APU graphics cores (there are 500-odd cores sitting dormant).  AMD Dual Graphics supports a R7 250 card, one of which has 4gb of GDDR5 on it, and I'd have to boost my ram to 32GB of 2400mhz to help out the APU if I did this.

Anyway, lots of rambling aside, is this possible?  I don't (unless it actually helps) want to enable Crossfire, I'm more interested in gaining the ability to use Multi-GPU via the APU/GPU to speed of Aftereffects and Color Correction in Premeire/Speedgrade.

 

Thanks in advance if anyone has any prior knowledge on this.

Yes, it can be done and you don't need crossfire. The difference in rendering performance in premiere would likely be minimal though.
