Need for Video Card

This may be a dumb question but other than for Gaming or Video Editing, does a video card add anything to performance of a computer?
 
Well, you need some sort of video output, unless you're building a headless server. But if you are comparing onboard video to a discrete card, no, you don't need a discrete card if you aren't gaming, or using GPU computing. Onboard these days is good enough for basically everything else, including some light gaming (CivCity Rome, SimCity4, etc.)
