I think A10-5700 + 7770 might be reasonable to expect. Though they cannot be crossfired (at least according to official specs),

I'm still puzzledd by this, because technically nothing speaks against hybrid crossfiring the A10 with a GCN card. It doesn't work on PCs because there is only one AMD driver. In theory you'd need two drivers for a A10/GCN hybrid, so welcome in "writing-a-driver-hell". Probably takes major thinking (The Portland Group (PGI) and AMD are working on the PGI Accelerator Compilers, for example).

Yes, I find it strange too, considering that A10 GPUs (which are VLIW4) can be crossfired with VLIW5 hadrware - so why not with GCN? I do admit I don't have required knowledge to fully understand all the intricacies of CrossFire, but I would assume they could make those 2 GPUs work togethr (now when I think of it, wasn't there quite some time ago a rumour just about that, using some different approach in pairing GPUs?)
