No, hybrid crossfire only works like this

AMD A-8 Series : AMD Radeon HD 6670,6570 & 6450

AMD A-6 Series : AMD Radeon HD 6570 & 6450

AMD A-4 Series : AMD Radeon HD 6450

most current game titles are 32bit so you only need a dual core and 4gb of ram and the better the graphics card the better it will perform. With a 6870 you will be able to play everything maxed at 60fps no problem.

If price difference is not a factor, and your case can fit it then go for the 75v pro. (full atx) because with the 75M if you ever wanna do crossfire then the front headers get in the way of the second card which means you either fold them tightly or simply unplug them. In the other hand the 75V pro not only you have the headers available in crossfire more but you still have a PIC slot available as well.

Yes, but i had to over clock the apu all the way to 4GHz to get 60fps with everything turned on.

It all depends on your motherboard, either way you'll have to boot up your bios and tweak the settings. The base for the A8-3850 is 100 mhz bus x 29 multiplier. For me it work at 105mhz bus x 35 multiplier. Make sure your ram can adjust to the frequencies and it's compatible as well. As well as you have to have sufficient cooling. Currently I have a Coolermaster Hyper X520 and cools my cpu at 10c idle and 40c full load.

@RyansworId

Thanks for the advice :D

and i knew that the hybrid crossfire would turn off but the reason why the pairing is because I bought the A8-3850 and a week later I got the 6870 for free.

[MacRezzi]

Did you use the dual card technology?

[dieselrock11]

will i get good performance with the 3800 apu and hd 6870 and 16 gb 2100mhz?

Kind of funny that I'd rather play BC2 than BF3 purely because vehicles actually feel devestating where in BF3 they feel like mattel toys.
