I am always wondering, apart from playing games, how will graphic cards affect performance.

Say we have the same computers, but one w/ a fast graphic card, while the other one just uses an integrated card. Will the one w/ the graphic card be faster in every way? I'm looking for a machine to do a lot of programming (minimal graphics), so I'm wondering if I should get a good graphic card.

TIA
