Asus nVidia GeForce GTX550 Ti 1GB DDR5 verses...

...Intel integrated graphics.
I built the system a while back and didn't get a dedicated card.
I'm having to wait up to 10 seconds when switching from one VP12 instance to another and get remnants of other screens (ie soundcard GUI) lingering after closing.
The GTX550 is under $130 now and I'm wondering if that will make a difference.
Your advice is very appreciated my friends!

Windows 7, 64 bit, X2 (64 bit)
Intel Core i7-3770S

I saw an ad this morning for an MSI Nvidia 650 ti for 110 bucks after rebate at Newegg.

I have a gtx550 and have no problems with it but I can't say for certain it would fix your particular problem.

If you had your choice again would you choose the MSI?
Thanks so much!

Yes, I've had a fair amount of experience with MSI stuff, motherboards and the like, no problems.
