My system:
Haswell i5 CPU with Intel 4600 onboard graphics
2 x 4GB DDR
Crucial SSD boot drive
Asus Z87C mobo
My usage: zero gaming or video editing; Web browsing [20-40 Chrome tabs open at a time] and Office apps, passive multimedia use.
Was looking at this $40 Asus graphics card
http://www.amazon.com/EN210-SILENT-DI-1GD3-V2/dp/B004I5UDO6/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t
1. So would having this graphics card free up additional CPU resources to give me a slight boost in speed?
2. Would there be any noticeable improvement in how quickly graphics-heavy web pages load, how quickly YouTube videos load, or any advantages during video playback in VLC or Pot Player?
3. Or would it be just be a waste of money?
