The '''AMD Hybrid Graphics technology''', is a collective brand from [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD]] for its [[Radeon]] line of discrete and integrated [[Graphics Processing Unit|GPU]], promoting higher performance and productivity while saving energy consumption in GPUs. The technology previously applied to selected chipsets of the [[AMD 700 chipset series]] and [[AMD 800 chipset series]] only. The ATI Hybrid Graphics technology was announced on January 23, 2008 with [[Radeon R600#Radeon HD 2400|Radeon HD 2400 series]] and [[Radeon R600#Radeon HD 3400|Radeon HD 3400 series]] video cards supporting hybrid graphics functionality. Originally, ATI announced this feature would only be supported in Vista, but in August 2008 they included support in their Windows XP drivers as well.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hruska |first=Joel |url=https://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2008/08/ati-cat-8-8-drivers-include-hybrid-graphics-in-windows-xp.ars |title=ATI Cat 8.8 drivers include Hybrid Graphics in Windows XP |publisher=Ars Technica |date=2008-08-22 |accessdate=2012-09-14}}</ref> The architecture has been patented by ATI.<ref>{{patent|US|2006282604|"Methods and apparatus for processing graphics data using multiple processing circuits." filed on May 27, 2005}}</ref>
The previous generation of [[AMD CrossFireX#Hybrid CrossFireX / Dual Graphics|Hybrid Crossfire]] paired 890GX or 880G (Radeon HD4290 and HD 4250 respectively) motherboards from the AMD 800 chipset series with an HD 5450, 5550, 5570 or 5670 Radeon video card from the [[Radeon hd 5000|Radeon HD 5000 series]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sites.amd.com/us/game/technology/Pages/crossfirex.aspx |title=AMD CrossFireX™ |publisher=Sites.amd.com |date=2010-11-05 |accessdate=2012-09-14}}</ref>
Newer information suggests that A6-series and A8-series [[AMD Accelerated Processing Unit|AMD APUs]] can be used in Hybrid Crossfire (Subsequently, called "Dual Graphics") with HD 6570 and HD 6670 video cards.<ref name="vr-zone">{{cite web|url=http://vr-zone.com/articles/exclusive-amd-s-dual-radeon-graphics-for-desktops-unveiled/12746.html |title=Exclusive: AMD's Dual Radeon Graphics for desktops unveiled by |publisher=Vr-zone.com |date=2011-06-24 |accessdate=2012-09-14 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120727035018/http://vr-zone.com/articles/exclusive-amd-s-dual-radeon-graphics-for-desktops-unveiled/12746.html |archivedate=July 27, 2012 }}</ref><ref name="AMD#3">{{cite web|url=
