Playing crossfire on an AMD A8-6600k with an R9 380 graphics card is a viable option.
Hello, I just overclocked my AMD A8-6600K APU to 4.2Ghz for the first time. A friend suggested using Crossfire after installing an R9 380 GPU. I'm curious about how Crossfire would interact with these parts and whether it would perform better than running games directly on the GPU. Thanks for reading!
I understand your point, it seems your friend is referring to Dual Graphics, which works only with certain older cards and APUs. For the newer models, it would require a different R9 380, and I wouldn't invest in that processor since it wouldn't match the power of the GPUs you have.
For crossfire you would require two R9 380s. I believe there might be a mistake there.

Thank you all for your assistance! I was mainly looking at the concept as a substitute for upgrading my CPU to a newer 6-core model, which would need a different motherboard.
