That's not a dedicated graphics card, it's integrated. A very nice integrated chip, as they tend to be these days, but still several orders of magnitude lower than the power a dedicated card can deliver. Integrated graphics pull from RAM and processor power to do their job instead of handling it themselves like dedicated Nvidia and (most) AMD cards do.
It's not likely that integrated graphics are going to kick up fps rates that are high enough to be harmful, but it's possible. To see the fps rates you are actually getting in-game, Ctrl+Shift+C to bring up the cheats console and type fps on (enter). As you play and move the game camera around, the displayed fps rate needs to stay below or close to 60, since that is the refresh rate of your monitor. To make the display go away later, cheats console again and type fps off (enter). If you're getting values way above 60 and wildly fluctuating all over the place, then actions need to be taken to cap them.
