>From what I understand about computer systems is that the video card is
required by the bios because the video card has its own bios, when you power
the computer, the mainboard bios probes the video card for its bios
information before it proceeds to do anything else. So in theory, if there
is no video card present, the bios would halt and prevent the system from
booting.
I havent actually experienced this, it is all theory based.
