    Crossfire APU and 270X?

    I'm a lucky man in that both my wife and my mother in law enjoy PC gaming. The MIL (no F you dirty minded people!) has previously spent mountains of money on gaming laptops but I managed to persuade her to spend half the money on a PC. The PC is an MSI A88X mainboard, AMD A7700K CPU, MSI 270X, 8 GB Corsair Dominator RAM, 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD and a Corsair H60 cooler. She plays WoW, Skyrim and a few other MMORPGs so I though that for the budget it seems a pretty solid system.

    Now I know the AMD processor has a built in APU and I actually made the mistake of plugging in the HDMI cable to the onboard port, rather than the 270X port when I first set it up!

    Is it possible to Crossfire or link the APU and 270X GPU to give it a bit more 'oomph'?

    As fast as this system is. the one thing the MIL is most impressed with is that I put blue LED fans and cables into it to match the MB, GPU and RAM as it's her favourite colour!

    Unfortunately they will not crossfire. Only the R7 250 and R7 240 crossfire
