Supported Graphics Card for AMD A6 6400K

[kidlatwarfreak]

Good day,

I have an AMD A6 6400k APU on a Biostar A58MDP motherboard and im planning to buy a Sapphire R7 250 graphics card. Will my APU and motherboard support dual graphics? If not, what are the supported graphics card for my APU if i want to run it on dual graphics?

Thanks

it should work in dual graphics.

Thank you for the hasty reply. I have another question though. With that setup im planning to run a dual-monitor using VGA and DVI. Which setup would give me the best performance? One monitor running on the on-board graphics and one on the video card? Or both monitors running on the video card?

Per this chart from AMD, you can only use the HD 6570, HD 6670 for dual graphics with that APU.

Thank you for the reply. How about if I ditch dual-graphics, will my motherboard still support the R7 without any performance issue?

Yes. Your motherboard will support that (or any) PCI-Ex16 card.

Sir, your input has been very valuable. I have one last question. If i ran dual-monitor on the R7 using VGA and DVI, will there be any performance problem? My original plan was to use it for mid-range gaming but since AMD Dual-graphics is not supported i'm planning to use it as an office computer instead.

As strictly an office computer (not really needing much in the way of graphics power), you shouldn't run into any problems running a dual-monitor system. I've run dual-monitors on much older cards (also in a non-gaming environment) and ran into no problems what-so-ever. I often watch live TV on one display and surf the web on the secondary with my old 8800GTS-640.
