The Samsung laptop that I linked does exactly what you want to do, would let you get some somewhat hardcore experience with the computer's CPU (you seemed interested by that earlier), and would be far cheaper. It would seem to be the best option that you have from that website, so it's my recommendation, unless you want to look at other want sites too.
 
AMD's hybrid crossfire is just a marketing gimmick i have an asus k53ta and never use crossfire option it microstutters have too many bugs and drivers never get any mature as said if you have the choice gt650 ddr3 ddr5 both miles away better than 7670m + crossfire option
 


That's with a weaker APU and a weaker graphics card. I also have to ask what the driver version that you're using is and if you properly updated it by booting into safe mode, using Driver Fusion to completely delete the AMD graphics drivers or a similarly thorough method, and then restarting the computer and installing the newest driver version. Current drivers or this are quite mature, so you almost definitely didn't set it up properly. That you mistook GDDR5 for DDR5 does not help your case.
 



i didnt bothered to mention its graphic memory sure were talking about graphic cards

i tried every possible combination in the catalyst center to make crossfire benefitable but it was only a hassle. do you have a fusion lappy? have you ever tried messing options ?? im not the only one who think hybrid crossfire is a joke there many people on the net regret to buy those tech for believing that hybrid crossfire does make a difference but no hope. Just get the gt650m, if you go amd way you ll only be disappointed
 


The problem is probably that you have a weak CPU. Try using PSCheck as stated above to increase one core's performance while decreasing the other core's performance to see if it helps. The A8s and A10s are a lot better than the Trinity A6s. Dual Graphics does work when it is set up properly and the CPU isn't too weak.
 


Don't forget the memory performance differences. With DDR3 on th GT 650M and 7670M, it wouldn't really matter which way you go. With GDDR5 on the GT 650M, it can easily best the Radeon 7670M DDR3, but the 7670M DDR3 plus a Llano IGP (more specifically, a Trinity A8 or A10) can easily keep up with it. arabcian doesn't have an A10 nor even an A8, arabcian's laptop (according to Asus) supports only A4s and A6s that simply don't have enough CPU performance like the A8s and A10s do.

With an i5 or an i3 instead of an A8 or A10, the GT 650M GDDR5 will win every time because the i5s and i3s do not have powerful IGPs that can work in unison with the 7670M like AMD's higher end APUs have.
 
If the i5 or i7 with the 650m is about the same price as the A10 with the 7670m get it. Trinity sucks major still compared to the i5 in single threaded performance (which games use). Also the integrated gpu in the A10 does produce heat which further reduces the cpu frequency. In certain games this is not a problem but it others it will be noticeable (RPG or MMO's). In certain games that are severely cpu bottlenecked dual graphics may be worse than running just the dedicated card.
 


The laptop with GT 650M that has GDDR5 memory is out of OP's budget and a DDR3 model isn't any better than a Radeon 7670M with DDR3 and no Dual-Graphics and is inferior to the Dual-graphics solution as described earlier. Within OP's budget, the Trinity option is the best from that store. Also, as was said earlier, optimizing the core configuration with PSCheck solves the CPU issue excellently.
 



throttling in normal conditions usually happen when a piece of hardware overheats(gpu or cpu), and severely underclocks itself so it doesnt heat any farther damaging itself, crippling performance.
