Anyone else have a Dual Graphics System?

I want to compare performance results. I'm running an AMD A10-7870K with an XFX R7 250 1GB GDDR5 card, and I got a score of 9290 in Sky Diver on Futuremark. I have a feeling that something's up though, as some games run a lot faster on my APU, and others run faster on the dGPU when the title doesn't support Crossfire.

Dual graphics with the weak gpu in the apu and dedicated gpu make no sense. It's always better to have 1 strong card then multiple weaker cards. Btw the 7870's gpu and 250 are about the same performance wise and with both cards in the system it might be causing issues with games. I recommend you disable the apu's gpu or remove the 250.

So no, you don't. I got the R7 250 after I was done tuning my APU. It bottlenecked my RX 480 and seems to run great with an APU on most big titles at 1680x1050. If you have a Dual Graphics system, please respond. Believe me, I know the pitfalls.
