Will my R7 260x 2GB GDDR5 run with G.A88X and APU 6800k? No Crossfire Needed

[Iftiaz Hye Susmoy]

Well my post title pretty much says it all, Still I would elaborate a bit:

I have AMD R7 260x 2GB GDDR5 (Sapphire) and Now I'll be buying a New Gaming Motherboard and a Processor. So I was thinking of buying the A88x motherboard and APU 6800k Processor. All I need to know is, Will they all work together? And no I don't need crossfire, although I know Crossfire isn't possible on this too!

Get the 750k.

It's as fast as the 6800K just cheaper and has no integrated graphics(you don't need with 260x)
They'll run together as well no trouble 750k+260x and the 750K runs on the fm2 socket as well.

What's your budget for CPU+Mobo?

it supports dual graphics technology.
so yes.

I'm sorry but I don't have much idea about all these stuffs so I would ask what do you mean by 750k? I'm sorry but I have no idea 🙁

Btw, I contacted the shop near me and they said G.A88x would be like 110-120$ and the processor (6800k) would be around $185 so, in total my budget is about $300+.

I want to know what that 750k thing is, and Even if I do buy 6800k and A88x mainboard, Would my R7 260x work perfectly? I dont need any crossfire stuffs!

Well, Isn't Dual graphics is the same as Crossfire thing? So my R7 260x will work with G.A88x and 6800k processor right?

Athlon II 750K, it's a processor!

goes in the same motherboards as the 6800k.

260x works perfectly with 6800k or 750k and the motherboard you chosen.

It will. And it should. If your decision is final then go for it it will work.
There was someone who asked this before the answer is

crossfire and dual graphics are completely different features.

dual graphics technlogy is when your APU and a discrete vcard work together.

Crossfire = Vcard + vcard
dual graphics technology = vcard + APU

If you still dont get it.

Crossfire is for example
You have a 260x video card , then you bought another 260x, placed it on the other PCIe slot and connected them with the crossfire bridge.

Dual Graphics Technology is for APU processors
It's when your APU(which already has an integrated video card) and your discrete video card works together. like combining their functionality
