1113003 2010-06-24 05:21:00 Im building a low-cost system and wondering an upgrade from an Asus M4A785T-M (www.playtech.co.nz) on-board graphics to a hybrid-crossfire setup. I would like suggestions for a low cost (less than $150) ATI graphics card. jd2759 (15763)

1113005 2010-06-24 09:24:00 The thing with Hybrid Crossfire is that you are actually quite limited to which cards you can use with it.

I'm not sure exactly which ones you can use though. Since the 785G uses an HD4200 I think you are limited to only HD4xxx series cards.

1113006 2010-06-24 21:57:00 I wouldnt bother with any hybrid CF system, as CF scales bad enough as it is, without unbalanced GPU's...
Just get the fastest GPU you can afford period..

1113007 2010-06-24 23:48:00 Yeah that's what I did. My board has an onboard HD3300 and I thought Hybrid Crossfire might be nice for a small increase in performance, but when I found out that support was limited to only a few cards I gave up on that idea.

I don't use the onboard video and use an HD5770 instead...
