I just built a pc and am currently using the onboard ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics. While I have not had any complaints for the uses I have tried it for I might want to upgrade if I start gaming. I was reading about the ATI Hybrid CrossFireX, which is supposed to allow a discrete card to work with the onboard graphics, a poor mans CrossFireX if you will. But it seems the card selection for the Hybrid CrossFireX is pretty minimal. Would I be better off performance wise with a sub $50 Hybrid CrossFireX card paired with the onboard graphics, or saving up for a bit to buy a $100 standalone card be it ATI or NVIDIA and just disabling onboard graphics?
