Video card question

Do you guys think that a video card with its own GSP's would take load off a computer's CPU?

all current video cards have their own dedicated processor, but as long as an application isn't programmed in a way that it takes full advantage of this, it doesn't help much on main CPU load.
I guess you're refering to SFP's user interface, which was designed in pre-graphic-accelerator ages

Nevertheless some have reported significant differences in GUI response related to certain boards, but here my memory fails which ones exactly...
