AMD CrossFireX - Hybrid CrossFireX / Dual Graphics

Hybrid CrossFireX / Dual Graphics

There is also a “hybrid” mode of CrossFireX which combines on-board graphics using the AMD northbridge architecture with selected graphic cards. The current generation is called Hybrid CrossFireX and is available for motherboards with integrated AMD chipsets in the 7 and 8 series IGPs, referred to as Hybrid CrossFireX. It allows combining discrete video cards ( ) and the IGP for increased performance. This combination results in power-savings when simple or 2D graphics are used and performance increases of 25% to over 200% in 3D graphics over using a non CrossFire option. As of March 2012, it appears that this is now called "AMD Radeon Dual Graphics" and means using A-series Fusion APUs together with video cards.
