I've just built a computer for general use, web development, photo-editing, and slight gaming as an afterthought. After reading a decent bit, I've decided I want to use the Radeon 6690D2 by Cross-Firing the smaller GPU to the APU. I know I've read about three-way Cross-Fire before, so I was curious, is it possible to have the computer Cross-Fire the APU and smaller GPU, then Cross-Fire the larger 6770 to that grouping?
I'm a very heavy user/repairer, but I've stopped keeping up with things like graphics configurations for a while and just am not quite sure how Cross-Fire/SLI work or how to put it to maximum use. I know that for pure gaming/performance I should have gone for some i5 / i7 build, but I was looking for something that would be frugal along with performing well. Therefore, please don't post what I should have done but rather an answer or what I could do now with what I have.
I know I could just Cross-Fire the 6670 and 6770 and be done, I'm just trying to squeeze every drop ^.^ And I don't actually have the 6670 yet, and am still within my return period on the 6770. So I could go any way with this. Really (I didn't know about the 6670 limit for Cross-Firing with APU until two seconds ago) I could even go an entirely other build route and return the mobo/APU as well, but I don't think I want to.
I appreciate any answers and discussion in advance
Full build list:
ASRock A75 PRO4 mobo
AMD A8-3850 Llano APU
16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series RAM
HIS H677FN1GD Radeon HD 6770
HIS H667FN1G Radeon HD 6670
5+ TB from two HD's, got to get a SSD for the OS eventually...
