There are graphics cards that help with video editing/encoding/3d rendering/adobe suites/video playback (crazy expensive stuff)
and there are graphics cards that help with 3d gaming/video playback (majority of the market).

Generally, a graphics card won't help you in programming, as on-board stuff is fine in that department. With that said, what kind of programming are you doing that requires more processing power? What kind of software are you trying to run?
