How to enable onboard crossfire with 5870? M4A89GTD Pro USB3

Thread Starter 
I see my motherboard supports using the onboard ati 4290 with a vga card, but I can't seem to find any write ups on how to do this?

Would I even see any improvements in games?

u cant it only works with low end graphic cards


the 5800 series needs to be paired with a comparable 5800 series like for example 5830, 5850 or 5870

Even if you were to Hybrid CFX that onboard you would notice a decrease in performance. Your 5870 alone is far better than Hybrid CFX anything you could with that onboard video.

Yeah, it only works with certain low end cards. Besides, even if you could get it to work, you wouldn't notice the benefit of dual gpus but you would get all the negatives.
