Hi Guys,

I purely use my desktop for betting and lay exchange websites with 2 monitors, obviously the webpages are live and changing rapidly.

I just wondered if there's any benefits to fitting a gt 710 over the Intel 2500.

Would it take load of the cpu.

I guess the gt 710 is better than Intel 2500 but didn't know if it would benefit me for my particular use.

Thanks

Well i5 2500 would do its job fine, with dedicated GPU.
There wouldn't be any problem loading pages and handling 2 monitors.
just be sure that you select in browser hardware acceleration, if crash happens disable adobe flash player.
If there are more than 20 tabs i would recommend 8GB as minimum.
Well if your system didn't had dedicated graphics then it could improve web loading, but other factor may be the bloatware you have on your system, how many apps do you run, that are all factors that may cause slow loading pages, same as not defragging HDD once a month (last option buying dedicated GPU).

And depends which browser you use, EDGE can use GPU higher than CPU and result better offload to GPU (Its called hardware acceleration, then enablind this, it should be in settings).

If it has ADS try using ADBlocker to block some of ads if they are not needed (first try this).

Did you have/had dedicated GPU?

No I've not bought a graphics card yet and to be honest the desktop with the Intel 2500 hasn't arrived yet.

I'm probably jumping the gun by considering getting a gt 710 before I've used the Intel 2500. I just thought if it would benefit me and I can get it cheap at the moment, I would.
