Do video/graphics cards how fast a video loads?

Yes, I would like to know if graphics/video cards make videos on sites such as Youtube load faster and run better.

Also I am in need of a good but cheap graphics card. I believe I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9100, but it is awful. Are there any cards that could run games like Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, etc, at least decently and cost little? Thank you.

First and foremost, your internet speeds determines how fast you receive data from a website.

Second, a better video card is not going to help websites load faster. They are working on options like that that will help increase website animation, but not loading speeds.

Third, multitasking on a single core CPU or a slow clocked dual core can effect page loading times since the browser is handled by the CPU and if your doing a lot of CPU based stuff that will cause whole system slow down.

Fourth thing that can cause it is your hard drive/RAM. If you are running low on available RAM than your PC will start paging information to the HDD. Also, when you go to websites that you frequent the HDD has to read the local cache(from your PC) on those websites. So if you have a slow hard drive and are trying to visit multiple websites this can effect loading times.

hd 4670 benches on all the above on like medium quality and in north american sit in the 90-75 dollar range. and yes they do make them run a little fatser and better though realistically a betetr cpu or more ram would yeild the best improvement for that.

How to make youtube load faster without getting a faster internet connection:

Use Google Chrome

Update your flash player to 10.1 Beta

Use latest video drivers

not really but for fallout 3, i used to have a gts 8800 and it would run on high on my old comp ( athlon x2 3800 2.01 ghz, 3 gig ddr2) and then i got a gtx 260 and saw a massive leap in performance for fallout 3 with me being able to run it on almost absolute full detail.
