I'm using a AMD8-5500 processor with a Radeon HD 7400M graphics card. I was looking around at some old computer parts I have or might have thinking about how bad this rig runs most anything online related, I have a Nvidia Gforce6600 card laying around for sure is that way too outdated to try to find a driver for? I might have a AMD Radeon 5500 somewhere still. Would it be worthwhile to try and set up an older second card like the mentioned ones to split the load with the better card I already got in?

Um, what? That isn't how crossfire and SLI work... you've gotta have a matching pair.

Also, doesn't the A8-5500 have Radeon HD 7560D graphics? And 7400M... isn't that a mobile chip? I'm really confused here. Is this a laptop or a desktop?

This game runs great with a GeForce 680 GTX and I5 3.2 Ghz. I am sure that anything better will run it no problem.

Some all-in-one "desktops" use mobile GPUs. Maybe that's what's being referenced?

In any case, OP, you're not going to get anywhere with the kinds of GPUs you're listing. Your only real course of action to improve performance, if the computer is something that would take one, is to just purchase a GPU upgrade.
