Your HD 6670 is fine with that mobo. You know that's a Micro ATX board, right?
If you want a atx board look at these.
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper A88X FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-UP4 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Whats the difference between the one I suggested and those 2?
Cheers
Micro-ATX is a smaller motherboard made to fit in small PC cases. It will have fewer slots and connections available.
A full ATX board will fit in any standard computer case and will have all the slots and connections you would expect in a PC.
Thanks so much for the knowledge! I will be buying another cpu and mobo tomorrow. Any tips and tricks will be appreciated)
I'm a big fan of side-by-side comparisons. You know, actually listing out the specification and components that are on all motherboards, and then comparing the different product's specs against each other.
For instance, some motherboards have 2 network interface ports (NICs). Do I need 2? No. So I will eliminate all those boards from consideration.
Some boards have newer sound chips, some have more SATA connections, etc. You might give those boards extra 'stars' for greater consideration. That way you can see if you can get more bang for the buck.
Oh, yeah, and then there is the price........
just bought the rig set up and working but can't figure out the dual gpu is there any particulars driver for that. actually i can't find out dual GPU option or crossfire x i want to use apu+gpu simultaneously my mobo is digilite a55
Oh, no! So that is what you were thinking. That is not going to happen.
To do SLI or Crossfire you normally need 2 identical graphics cards. There is no way that I know of to run the CPU graphics and the graphics card at the same time.
I thought it was 2 cards based on the same architecture?
With the APU Hudson it's my understand that the proper GPU will run side by side with the APU.
