you are better to use only one dedicated gpu ...like r9 290 ...special price right now

i meant would i be able to use one or the other not both of them at the same time.

hmm, it is only 1 or 2 different gpu's you can do that with.

maybe a r7 250.. not completely sure but you should be able to find out with the famous google.

forget the dual graphic layout with the a10-7850k

only give 30% more performance in gaming ...and work with only r7 250/r7 260 i think
you will have a lot better performance with only one dedicated gpu , but with a good one like the r9 280x and upper

It's not worth it. You are much better off getting a more powerful CPU and a more powerful standalone GPU.

If you're asking whether it's possible to switch back and forth between the integrated APU graphics and the standalone card, then yes, it's possible by changing the settings in your BIOS, but I can think of literally no advantage that gives you over just using the GPU.

a10 7850k will only dual graphics with a r7 240 or 250. the 260x and 265 will work just not in dual graphics mode (which will give you better performance)
