A10-6800k and HD 5450 combo

[Polyneye]

I've had an a10-6800k system now for a year, and recently found an old XFX HD 5450 graphics card I've had laying around. I was curious to know if using this card would be better than the IGFX of the a10-6800 or if I could use 'dual graphics" with this card...

It may be possible, but I would advise heavily against it. The HD 5450 was one of the entry grade cards of the HD 5xxx generation, crossfiring them (if it even works) would actually be highly detrimental to the performance as the IGP of the A10 is stronger than the HD 5450.

Cool, thanks man. I know just enough to be dangerous to myself and others when it comes to this kind of stuff, so having someone to tell me it's a bad idea is invaluable....

Haha no worries, I know the feeling. Anyone who can as much as open a computer is a danger eh?
