No matter what you are doing on a PC if you want to start the computer and see a display on the screen, you must have a graphics card. Which means that if he has a working computer then he has a graphics card. Some motherboards come with graphics cards built into the board, but either way the computer has one. Now knowing if your graphics card is powerful enough for some games is a different task. You need to know the game you want to play's system requirements, and the computers specs such as ram hard drive space and video card power.
