My notebook has dedicated graphics card, however, would like to know if you have to replace the video card for better?

Currently she is with this card - Radeon HD 7730M AMD
 
No. Most laptop GPUs are soldered onto the motherboard, and I'm sure your Dell is (I have a Dell Inspiron with an AMD GPU myself). You cannot swap them out. One of the many downsides to owning a laptop over a desktop PC: very limited on upgrade paths. Sorry!
 
laptops are not designed to have the video cards replaced. In fact, many have them soldered in.

You can't replace the video card
