can i enable crossfire while i am using AMD R5 and HD8500M on my AMD A8 laptop?

[harshit9125]

hello
i am using AMD A8 laptop with my device manager showing both display adapters as
AMD Radeon HD 8500M and
AMD Radeon R5 Graphics.

also the SPECCY software shows the two graphic cards and states that crossfire is disabled in both.

the system properties tells me that i have 6GB of available graphics memory with dedicated as 3072 MB and 3368 MB.

i've tried updating bios,display drivers and even AMD CCC.
still couldnt find ' enable crossfire' to check.

please suggest me really good solution to the problem..

Just because you have 2 gpus, it doesn't mean that you can do crossfire.

What A8 model do you have?

I have a lenovo g50-45 laptop
1tb
8GB


so does that mean crossfire isnt possible in my case?
because it says 'disabled' and not ' not supported'

That model of APU doesn't support dual graphics (crossfire).

Use gpu z first, if it shows crossfire available u stand a chance. (Otherwise u should stop). Send a pic of your gpuz spec on both your gpu if possible.

Goodle amd 14.12 omega MODDED driver. Be sure to follow instructions and uninstall your old driver completely.

or http/www.overclock.net/t/1530284/tweakforce-amd-14-12-omega-modded-drivers

This contains 14.12 modded driver. Usually it should fix dual graphic issues.

What is your APU? is this A8-6410 (Beema/Mullins) or A8-7100 (Kaveri)

U could also try older drivers like 14.4 (like this http/forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=388380)

Hope it would help cuz amd really screw up the drivers.

As I already told you, that APU doesn't support dual-graphics.

Only Kaveri, Richland and Trinity APU support it.
