Non gaming difference

[pandasmash]

just built a new pc and have skimped and not bought my graphics card yet. will do in 2 weeks once i get paid.
just wondering what difference it will make to non gaming activities?
i have tried searching google but not so much i could find out
i understand my fps will be good for games. but will my computer look different for general tasks such as browsing the internet etc?

i have a p8z77-v lx, i5 3570k, and will be buying the msi gtx 660ti power edition. if it makes any difference

have I asked a stupid question? or do people not know the answer?

I was asleep wen you asked.

But there won't be a difference obviously. With some applications and software it can take advantage of your GPU, i.e. Photoshop etc.

Windows 7 can also benefit from it vaguely but the benefit is very minor across the board with having a gaming GPU.

thank you so much for your answer! i have been looking everywhere but hard to find the right words in Google without it giving you what graphics card to buy or best graphics card for non gamers, etc.

thank you xx
