Will Radeon R7 265 work in cross fire with my CPU?

[trongamer2]

I've decided that I'm going to get a Radeon R7 265 gpu and I wanted to know how well it will work with my cpu, a10 5800k, I know its not the most beast cpu out there but it works for me. Also the please let me know if it can I can cross fire it with a second r7 265? would I need something more than a 500 watt power supply? cause I'd love to do cross fire it. What kind of performance increase should expect from that?

The a10 wouldn't add any firepower to the 265 anyway. And it doesn't support crossfire either.

i dont think the r7 265 (hd 7850) works alongside amd apus in crossfire. and you would not be able to crossfire it with a second gpu either (APU+GPU+GPU doesnt work)

ok so no crossfire? thats fine

i7baby so the r7 265 doesn't go well with my apu? I seen some person on youtube running a nvidia 750ti sc in 1080 at a good framerate and someone in the comment section said amds eqivlant is the r7 265. Im confused.

What they are saying is that the R7 265 performs about the same as a gtx 750ti. See http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-265-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti

thats cool, and what I was saying is that the card I wanted to get intitally was the 750ti sc and my cpu has enough fire to run it and the r7 265 is the amd equivalent, so I dont understand why it wont work with the a10 5800k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0VJ7DfkF1c

It will. But not in crossfire.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of cpu or any other components would you need to run two r7 265 in cross fire?

Anything will do. Mainly a crossfire capable motherboard is what you look for.
