PC Drivers & Software

[RedS7000]

I have a somewhat old computer that I am recycling to use for both classic gaming - low resource as well as general work.

This PC is equipped with an AMD A10 7860K and the board it is mounted on is MSI A88XM-E45 V2. Recently I bought a video card to take advantage of the Dual Graphics technology (something I never used) and I bought a MSI Radeon R7 250 2GD3 OC.

The thing about this is that when I think I meet the requirements to use dual graphics, for some reason the Radeon Software does not show the option to activate it. My question is how can I use Dual Graphics at this time of the year?

You need to use an old Catalyst driver package that supports it. In this Hardware Secrets article they used 15.7

As a commentary on the usefulness of these old technologies, nVidia had Hybrid SLI, ATI offered Hybrid Graphics, which AMD renamed Dual Graphics, none of which offered much benefit and why they were eventually discontinued. Pairing an underpowered IGP with an equally underpowered discrete card resulted in minimal boosts of typically 10-20% higher than using only a single graphics solution.
