There is no separate graphics card, nor any way to install one.
About the only upgrade you can do to the system that will boost performance for gaming and overall is if the system still has a conventional hard drive -- in that case, replace it with a solid state drive. That will boost the system appreciably.
If it's truly video performance holding back your gaming, though - the only solution is a replacement system.
There are companies that make external kits that host desktop video cards. Razor announced theirs at CES this week (see below). It uses USB-C (Thunderbolt) connection. So, in theory, Dell could release an accessory that does this. But I'm not expecting them to do that. I believe the ones currently available are proprietary to the maker's notebooks.
The Razer Blade Stealth’s hardcore gaming chops are unlocked via the plug-and-play external desktop graphics enclosure, the Razer Core. A single Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB-C) cable supplies both data and power and is all it takes to connect Razer’s Ultrabook with the Razer Core. The device can accommodate virtually every popular desktop graphics card from both AMD® and NVIDIA®. Physical installation of GPUs takes seconds with the Razer Core—its durable aluminum housing slides open effortlessly and a single screw can secure the graphics card in place. Razer’s solution helps future-proof systems, as graphics cards are easily swappable as new components become available. - See more at: www.razerzone.com/.../razer-launches-the-ultimate-ultrabook-ultra-portability-maximum-performance-and-unbeatable-value
