Could be a combination of both, but its normal for the most part, it's just how the video loads.

In my opinion, you wouldn't be gaining anything worth that cost and your current video card should be providing you with a crystal clear image. Verify that you're running with the latest drivers and at your monitor's native resolution.

Agree. The only real reason to upgrade a video card is either its just too old to support some of the newest features and direct x versions (your card is not too old in this aspect, its just fine) or you need more gaming performance. Which you said you do not play games. If your image is not clear and sharp, with good detail, it's more likely your monitor, or the settings you are running it at. As mentioned, make sure you have the most up to date drivers install, and you are running your monitor at it's native resolution.

That's not the video card, it's just interent video buffering till it loads the full resolution.
