I switched to Chrome before IE 10 RTM'd since IE 9 was a lot slower than its competitors. IE 9 has excellent memory management in which it has never had a memory leak even when running for a week (just let the computer sleep instead of shutdown). Chrome 25 OTOH would take crazy amounts of RAM when left idling then slows down noticeably. I had IE 10 RP, but it's too buggy to be my primary browser. Now that IE 10 RTM has arrived, I don't use chrome as much since IE 10 is as fast as chrome in loading websites and it even beats chrome's performance in many HTML5 websites. In addition, it doesn't eat memory like a V8 engine. I am running IE 10 for 4 hours right now, with 10 tabs (2 of which are youtube videos) and the memory usage from the taskbar is around 660 MB RAM. If I were to replicate this with chrome, I bet it would've taken around 1.2 GB or more. For that reason alone, I believe IE 10 is a better browser for me

I have found the solution it's here:
Microsoft has coughed to an embarrassing issue marring the launch of its next-generation Internet Explorer 10 web browser on the last-generation Windows 7 operating system: it doesn't work properly if you're using hybrid graphics.
It doesn't work properly with dedicated graphics either See my System Specs.
I was alright at first, but after 4days of slow graphics degradation I had to go back to IE9, and a problem I had with IE10 not showing all of my files in Libraries\Pictures has migrated to IE9.
See: I finally ran into a problem with Platform update KB2670838 and IE10

I don't entirely agree with the "hybrid" graphics theory. Graphics maybe but "hybrid"? I have two rigs one is in my system specs here. IE10 will install but does not render some sites correctly. I tried a lot of settings and re installs etc. I am now a happy FF19 User.
Only in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark.
It's marginally faster in the Peacekeeper benchmark.
IE10 is a lot slower in all of the other benchmarks (except the RoboHornet benchmark).

I'd agree with both your take on the hybrid graphics, and with IE10 not rendering properly on some sites. If I go to the What Are You Listening To? thread here at sevenforums, some of the youtube videos show but the next post down for example may show just the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage message. If I hit the Refresh button it will correct many or sometimes most of the posts. Another site that is really messed up is US Debt Clock which displays as shown.
I went back to IE9 but it now it has the same problems 10 has so I reinstalled 10 but it's still the same. FF may be installed soon. Funny thing is the pre-release version of 10 did not have these problems on my system but it too now does if I go back to it.
Wordsworth your description fits mine exactly. I uninstalled IE10 through the updates and it took me back to IE9. When IE9 wouldn't work I went back to IE8, which didn't work. In the meantime there was an update for my graphics card which wouldn't install. Then there was a couple of other problems that began to show up. So I finally installed an image that I had and then installed FF19. FF doesn't seen to have any problems. I finally got a good install on my graphics card. SFC shows no problems and perfom monitor give a good clean report. I may be out of the woods.
IEXX no longer works. IE10 either installed some buggy files that are not getting changed or it has written to the registry and not being corrected when downgrading. Plus I feel it was conflicting with my graphics card. I don't know how many users are experiencing this, but here are two documented.
