Some graphics cards, as an example, cannot support games that uses DirectX8 and above. Some graphics cards support multiple monitors; others do not.

What is a video card use for?
Well from your question, I'm guessing your a beginner in computers. So I'll tell you what the video cards are used for, what they can do, and where to find the best deals and the best ones. Well First off, video cards (graphics cards) are bought to be put in one's computer and then the computer can run better graphics (how good it looks). The Better the graphics card, the better the graphics. If you want to play games like crisis, half life, or team fortress on high graphics (which are adjustable you should go to tigerdirect.com and get the nvidia 9800, nvidia 260, or 280. So Basically Graphics cards let you play games with picture. Two more things to have these graphics cards and play those games is to have a good enough processor (CPU) and a good Monitor (tv screen). The Processor should be at least lets say, 2.2 or higher, and the monitor for these graphics cards should range from 19 or 20 inch or higher. You can also buy two SLI ready video cards and an SLI ready motherboard which means you can have 2 graphics cards run together then they'll go faster and better than just one but it can be a hassle have 2 graphics cards so just stick with having 1.

What is an integrated graphics card?
An integrated graphic processor as oposed to a discrete graphic processor. Graphic processor is the same as a video card. Integrated video cards: Integrated video cards are built-in to the system motherboard and use the system's processor (CPU) and memory to create graphics. They're fine for applications such as word processing and email and for the Internet, but not great for gaming or other graphic-intensive applications. While integrated video cards can process some complex graphics such as 3D images, they have to share the CPU and memory with other programs. If the CPU and memory are overloaded or busy processing other information, it can really slow down the graphics. Discrete video cards: Discrete video cards turn up the performance compared to integrated video cards. They are separate, or discrete, from the motherboard and have their own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, or GPU. They don't have to share the CPU with other programs. Discrete video cards include memory of their own, measured in megabytes (MB). Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your monitor and make gaming, movies and other entertainment intensely realistic. In general, the more memory the graphics card has the better.
