hybrid cf is avialable only for apus. there is no socket AM cpu that has igpu so you cant have hcf.
you need socket FM2+ apu+mobo for hybrid cf

So, why the motherboard says it has HYBRID CROSSFIRE?
 
Hello,

Unfortunately despite your motherboard supporting Hybrid Crossfire (Or as its been recently renamed, AMD Dual Graphics), the HD 7750 would not be compatible with any integrated graphics (which there aren't any of anyway) on the CPU. As @ne6togadno said, you need an APU (AMD A-series CPU, socket FM2+) and an FM2+ motherboard for the ability to do Dual Graphics with that graphics card.

EDIT:

Motherboard manufacturers always like to stamp on loads of different features without really explaining how they work, in order to entice you into buying the product. There may have been some older CPUs that could use that motherboard that could Hybrid Crossfire with older graphics cards (i.e. ATI Radeon 3000 series).

Actually, as far as my memory serves me, the 760G chipset has an integrated IGP which is the HD3000 and therefore should be Hybrid compatible with a HD3450 (DX10) if you can get one as they are old, it still would not be able to play any modern game, probably not at any resolution/detail level apart from pehaps the most graphically basic but I think it should work.

The reference cards only have 256MB of GDDR3 memory and a 64 bit wide bus so don't expect much! But lets be clear here, your HD7750 will not work.
