-between the igp and your 5850? No
There is no hybrid crossfire with high end cards. Support for hybrid crossfire was for a few low end cards at least a generation a go. Support for it , in windows 7 is also dropped. Your card drops down and uses almost no power at idle if thats what you were trying to accomplish.
