I recently bought a F2A85X-D3H motherboard with an A10-6800K processor and wanted to do hybrid crossfire with my ASUS HD 6670, but the option on the Catalyst software isn't being showed.

I set FORCE to the use of onboard graphics in the BIOS and Uma Frame buffer size changed to 2 Gb. What am I doing bad? I already download the latest catalyst software and still cannot see the option.

Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-D3H does not feature Hybrid CrossFireX. I assume you mean Dual Graphics. Hybrid CrossFireX has been called Dual Graphics since March 2012 and means using A-series APUs together with an AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card that supports AMD Dual Graphics technology.

I would clear the CMOS to reset your BIOS settings to their factory default levels.
Load Optimized Defaults from the BIOS exit menu and any custom settings you may have.

Setup of the AMD Dual Graphics Configuration
Combining the onboard GPU with a discrete graphics card, AMD's Dual Graphics technology can provide significantly advanced display performance for AMD platform. Read the following instructions on configuring a Dual Graphics system.
A. System Requirements
 AMD A series processor
 Windows 7 operating system
 An AMD Dual Graphics technology-supported motherboard (with the BIOS updated to the latest version) and correct driver (make sure the onboard graphics driver version is Rev. 8.981 or above)
 An AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card that supports AMD Dual Graphics technology (for more details, please visit AMD's official website) and correct driver

B. Installing the Graphics Cards and Configuring BIOS Setup
Step 1:
Install an AMD Dual Graphics technology-supported graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot. Plug the monitor cable into the graphics card and start up your computer.
Step 2:
Enter BIOS Setup to set the following items under the Peripherals\GFX Configuration menu:
 Set Integrated Graphics to Force.
 Set UMA Frame Buffer Size to 512M or above.

Save the settings and exit BIOS Setup. Restart your computer.
C. Configuring the Graphics Driver
After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. Browse to Performance\ AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics and ensure the Enable AMD Radeon Dual Graphics check box is selected.

After doing all that you, sir, told me to do I'm still not able to get the option on the software.
First, I cleared the CMOS and updated the BIOS. Then I installed onboard graphics driver v.8.982 (The one that drivers CD provides) and upgraded it to v.12.102 (The latest one from here). After that, I installed the GPU and changed the BIOS settings to the ones you said I have to. Finally, I installed the latest driver of my GPU and these are the options I got when I go on the Performance settings of the AMD Vision Control Center:
What I'm doing bad? Because I have tried so many times to make the Dual Graphics work and it still doesn't.

I see from your screenshot that you have the Vision Engine Control open to the AMD Home page. Open the Performance / Graphics Overdrive page. I see the Dual Graphics Tab is missing.

My Onboard graphic card is working aswell as the dedicated one.
Any solution to my problem?

Will I ever get a fix for this? Because you're not helping me and I feel like I bought my new motherboard for nothing, since it says it supports dual graphics and I had configure all correctly but the option isn't being showed on CCC.
