hi, i am in AMD Test Drive Program. i got my stuff.
hmm i open the box to see what motherboard and found that i have msi FM2-A85XMA-E35. i talk to tigerdirect b/c they are 10miles from me and they said i need a low profile video card that cost 35 bucks wtf?? PCI Express 2.0
i want to buy a video card but trying to figure out if i can use 7770 radeon or above video card.
Humm do you have a small case or something? did you but a pre made pc? the motherboard it's self will take any video card thats pcie
i have Fractal Arc Midi R2 Case
AMD A10-6800K APU
• FM2 A85X motherboard
• 2×4 AMD Radeon™ RP1866 Performance Memory
• Fractal Arc Midi R2 Case
• Fractal Tesla R2 650W Power Supply Unit
• Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5″ 60GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive
• LG 24X DVD Burner
• Windows 7
Then there is no reason why you cant add a HD7770 if you whated to.
However if your thinking of useing it in crossfre with your APU it whont work the highest card that APU will use for crossfire is a HD6670 but a hd 7770 will run fine buy it's self
Fractal Arc Midi R2 Case... you can fit whatever card you want mate. plus you have a nice psu there so the sky is the limit really.
this is going to be my first built but my brother has to help me b/c i have only 1 hand, but what do u mean by crossfire??
Crossfire is when you run two video card's that are the same together at the same time to increase performance and you can do the samething with the intergrated video on a APU as it has a enbeded HD6670 equivalent card on the cpu its self.
But it's not going to be as good a better single video card like a HD7770+
oh ok so i can just do 7770 card by itself
Yes it will be fine the APU's intergrated video will be disabled and APU will just be used as a cpu when useing a higher card
nice thanks
