I'm trying to crossfire my AMD A8-7600 and Radeon R7 250. Problem is when i check the Radeon Settings, it seems my APU's integrated graphics are disabled. I checked my BIOS and I set the internal gpu settings to forced (I'm using a Gigabyte F2A68HM-DS2 motherboard) but so far, radeon settings still says it's disabled. Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to read through these two links:
https://community.amd.com/thread/204065
http://www.cpu-world.com/info/AMD/Recommended_graphics_cards_for_AMD_dual-graphics.html

After you finish those two links, please pass on your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
Chassis:
OS:

To sum up, hybrid crossfire is more of a marketing gimmick and all it does is just waste more power. Even if you did get past the connectivity issue and enabling hybrid crossfire/dual graphics, the gains are minimal to none making all your efforts moot. It'd have been worthwhile if you just got a standalone Athlon 880K and a more powerful discrete GPU which would've yielded better results.

I see, thanks for the really clear explanation. It seems I'd just have to stick with just the GPU.
