A8-3850 In crossfire with HD 6670?

[axew]

Hello everyone, i m thinking about getting an A8-3850 CPU and a HD 6670 and crossfire that HD 6670 with Integrated GPU in A8-3850. Is that posible?
Also if posible, would that give me better performance than a pentium dualcore G850 with a hd 6790 in games?

Thanks in advance.

not sure if they fixed the problem, but in some games, crossfire with a 6670 was slower than a stand alone 6570.

The other issue is the A8 has no upgrade path at all due to the motherboard being changed for Trinity.

i dont realy care for upgrade path so that isn't important for me right now as i plan to stick with this rig for at least 2-3 years (and will probably get a whole new rig then)
Im ony intrested in this:
Will i get better gaming performance with Pentium G850+HD 6790 combination or a AMD A8-3850 With HD 6670 XFired with A8-3850's Integrated GPU?
Also i plan on overclocking A8-3850 if i get that CPU (i plan on geting Hyper 212 evo cooler is that good enough?)

Also i plan on gaming on 1440x900 and i also have a 600w seasonic PSU so PSU won't be a problem (i hope).

according to the anantech article, if they didn't fix the problem with DX 9. no, the A8 will not be able to outperform the 6790.
