ATI CrossFireX with ATI Radeon HD 7770 + msi 890gxm g65

[gagan_vip]

Hi,

I want to buy ATI Radeon HD 7770 DDR5 for my desktop.

Below are my System specifications:

CPU: AMD Phenom 2 965 black edition(140 W)
MB: msi 890gxm g65

This motherboard has a reasonably good graphics chip by default.
I have few queries:
Will I be able to use ATI CrossFireX technology to consume graphics power from motherboard and ATI Radeon HD 7770 DDR5 at the same time? If yes, How?
Does it improves the graphics performance to use both at once?

Also: Please suggest if there is a better graphics card in similar price range.

You cannot use the boards graphics and the graphics card at the same time

Installing the graphics card will automatically disable the onboard graphics

no but you can run 2 7770's in Xfire at 8x/8x which is nice
