It depends. A computer is as slow as it's oldest part. You could have a fantastic, state of the art computer, but it would surf the web slowly if all it had was a regular 56K modem. This holds true with graphic cards too. You could buy a fantastic graphics card, and still not go faster because you may have an outdated monitor. If all is well, and parts are upgraded, then yes you will notice an increase in speed as the graphic card will rely first on its own memory and not on the shared resources of your pc.
