Not always - a VGA card can fail but not kill the mobo, so the POST
beeps (beeeeep; beep-beep-beep.) can indicate a dead card.
However, I've had one or two cards that have failed so badly that
their insertion into a PCI slot has completely prevented the mobo
from doing anything, even croak out a failure beep.
