Would a higher-end video card speed up internet browsing?
Posted on 2016-08-04
I understand that a faster modem/router/NIC/processor
You may ask what is slow about my browsing? I think it's all the ads waiting to populate. I've used AdBlock from Chrome before, but it seemed like it did a decent job of blocking ads, but that process itself kept my browsing slow.
Other thoughts:
1. Disabling cookies?
2. Different browser besides Chrome?
3. Store internet cache in a RAM-disk?
4. Different packet size in my modem?
Thanks... (now using Windows 7-64, Chrome, and a $10 video card.)

A higher end video card is unlikely to make a difference, in my opinion. Your bottleneck is likely somewhere in your network or network card. What results do you get when you run an internet speed test? http://www.speedtest.net
Use NOSCRIPT with Firefox.
It's a really safe way to browse with the added bonus of stopping a lot adverts loading.
You will see a noticeable speed improvement.

You only need a high spec video card for gaming, HD movies viewing/editing etc.

I noticed an initial increase in speed with FF as well, although due to one of my add-ins, wisestamp, it has slowed down when reading webmail. wisestamp is working on this.

SpeedTest results: Ping 20ms, Download 82Mbps, Upload 8Mbps.
Looked for NoScript, couldn't find it at FF.

What about the specs on your machine?
CPU, memory, video card, HDD, etc.
Just saying you have a $10 card doesn't tell much. I have a couple of decent $10 cards that I got a great buy on.
The bottleneck could be in your machine processing the data coming in.
I have a 50MB down and 5MB up and I have no issues.
I'm running an 8-core AMD, 16GBram and have a 6900 series video card.
You might also want to do a scan with Malwarebytes..
