Performance degredation isn't a thing, and unless you're doing anything to do with 3D graphics, a graphics card won't do anything at all.

 

you'd be much better off with an SSD if you don't have one already, or a better CPU.

Hello,

Theoretically speaking, if a graphics card is added in a setup that has built-in processor gpu only, and over years of use the graphical capability

has become deteriorated, everything is slower, not because of storage confirmed with several disc drives, or viruses for that; 

adding a graphics card can improve the system performance?

 

I suspect the Intel built in gpu has become deficient, and having an impact on the overall CPU performance. So a GPU might help?

Performance in what?

 

I dont think the power of parts drop at all. What does make it slower is the higher demand on hardware since software developers assume hardware to be more powerful over time.

I used same software on the same windows which works well with higher cores. But now, the software is almost unusable, even without adding the heavy plugins into the application. The processor certainly has deteriorated, taking away performance.

Yes, getting an SSD or CPU is under consideration. However, the mainboard audio quality suddenly got really bad, and I thought the mainboard itself is responsible for everything maybe?
