I am so confused how there is like zero information about this... It advertises dual graphics all over the internet.

I got a msi 250 OC and i was trying to pair it with my A6-7400k
But there is nothing on website about this cpu in particular.

Can someone tell me what video cards work for this? i followed all the steps and it doesn't appear on Amd software to enable dual graphics.

Yeah but I asked what cards are dual Graphics(Cross Fire) capable with this CPU. I already know you get to choose. but for APU you get to choose if you want dual graphics based on the video card that matches.

It uses Integrated graphics(IGPU) paired with GPU.
so no your answer is not helping me, you are answering my question incorrectly and telling me what I already know.

i have that cpu in my office build and tried to crossfire with a r5 220 and no luck so i stuck in a 7850 i had laying around collecting dust just for curiosity purposes and it runs like garbage so if you plan on gaming i would just save your money for a new cpu if but that's just my opinion

Yes i am aware. i learned that anything a8-6600k
(or a10-5800k -a10 6800k, A8-3850) and higher is the bread and butter because you get 7.2-7.4 windows cpu score. and your graphics are 6.7-6.9. (based on ram) which is crazy for no graphics card.

I have built computer i sold that had a A8-6600k with GTX 760 2GB OC OCX and it ran battlefield 4 maxed out with perfect frames over 45-75 on all maps.

Im actually just going to swap a 760k in and call it a day on this pc I already have a gaming pc so this is really just a web surfer and office machine and honestly the a6 is okay for that but I want the 4 cores without the the cost of another a series as i have a 7850 in here now wish i would have looked into the 760k and 860k before i bought this apu but live and learn

They didnt answer my question at all. I responded and never got response yet.

What i asked is what GPU can pair with A6-7400k to use as dual graphics? because its advertised everywhere dual graphics.
Person never answered my question...

Like did I stutter? I asked a question and got no answer basically.

Ok i called. they apologized. They read the email and they said it sounds like someone was sleeping and didn't even read my whole email.

They will give me a call or email in 24hours or so. I explained to them how I made this thread and everyone has no information. they said they appreciate it and will get us an answer asap.

Having lots of trouble getting Dual Graphics to work with my A10-7700k +250OC MSI+Gigabyte HD2 FM2+ MB
I am told that I need probably use faster ram which I have. But as soon As I switch ram it will not allow me to access bios anymore... I tried resetting the battery and all.

So i can get on windows 7 no problems but once I try to get in bios it just leaves black screen. But boots normally...

Is the video cable connected to the 250 GPU or to the motherboard port of the A10-7700 iGPU, and have you tried swaping it? Maybe the BIOS is sending the signal to the other, you know what I mean? Just a guess as I'm not used to setting up dual graphics.

And what RAM model are you trying to use?

Gave up on the Dual Graphics.. There are people that have done it but I think it mainly works with the 240.. I'd have to get a 240 to test it i guess.

Just sucks because someone knows how to do it but that person isn't here to tell me.
