I wouldn't trust an "integrated anything" video card to play games.

Hopefully your Dell has a PCI Express slot so that you can just go buy a good gaming video card.

Unfortunately, integrated cards do not have a 3D accelerator on board, so you'd have to rely on your processor to do that.

Some games will run OK at lower resolutions, but if you want it to be good & fast & at a decent resolution, even a cheap gaming card will be an improvement.
