AMD A8-6600k CROSSFIRE? HELP PLEASE!

[Broken3D]

Okay so i recently got my gaming pc that has AMD A8-6600k with its intergrated APU HD 8570D.

So after some thinking i decided t get a new card. my budget is low and I'm looking at AMD HD either 7750 or 7770. Can someone confirm which of the two will definitely crossfire with my CPU?
and which one should i go for if both will work (also, which edition )
I have 8GB ram, 500w psu, win8.1 x64
motherboard http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A55M-E33.html#/?div=Detail

Please help! someone who has personally tested these combinations. hope the motherboard link helps. it says 'multi-gpu ---- Yes'

Thanks

only HD6450, HD6570 and HD6670 will suits your APU (crossfire).
You can use HD 7770 alone (not crossfire) because your iGPU is slower than HD 7770
HD 7770 will be able to play all games available ( low settings for next gen game titles)
but if you insist to go crossfire, then i suggest not to go higher than HD 6670.
I like MSI's HD 7770.

I would go for the 7770, but it wont crossfire. However it will perform better than any crossfire setup working with that APU.

after some research i found that this CPU specifically supports HD 7750 Crossfire. Hence the question rises, would this combo be better than standa.one 7700?

No. There will be much more screen tearing.
Don't be tempted to have a Hybrid-CrossFire... Back in 2007 (I guess) I had a HD3300 onboard (chipset) with a Radeon HD 3470 Hybrid-Crosfired, then one year later I bought a Radeon HD 4850 ... the difference is incredible !! And notice that the 4850 is 60% slower than the 7750 !

You can put your APU in Hybrid-Crossfire with a 7750, but your APU will hold it down for sure.

 

[Steven Stuu]

You can check HD 7790.
Hybrid-Crossfire is not recommended. You go through many trouble just to find that there is little to no performace increase (sometimes slower).
Stand-alone HD 7770 is better than Hybrid-Crossfire for sure.

What exactly is your budget for GPU and what is your power supply?

max budget 85 pounds
(note: I can currently get 7750 for 60 pounds, good deal compared to rrp 90)
I have 500W PSU

Thanks

Yes, There is THAT much diffference between 7750 and 7770 in terms of specifications, but there isn't much difference in Real-Life when you run games. I recommend going for HD 7790 according to your budget

Yes, if you can find a 7790 or an R7 260x, that meet your budget, go with that.

Guys i have dilema i have AMD Radeon HD 6670 And motherboard Asrock FM2A55M DGS You can see its FM2 chipset but i want to crossfire my graphics with AMD A8 6600K does exist faster combination than this for FM2 chipset?200 Dollars max

 

[logainofhades]

Take that $200 and get you a real GPU. Crossfire with an APU does not work very well. What to get depends on what power supply you have.

 

[LucoTF]

I would say get a 7850 instead of a 7790, definitely don't crossfire though

if i crossfire my a8-6600k to HD6670, does it require a specific motherboard?
