Depends on the brand and model.
My 3yr old Toshiba M400 tablet does 1440x1050 (very high for a 12"
tablet). A lot of the Lenovo tablets only do 1280x800. New HPs are
wide-screen also @ 1280x800.
Most new 12" tablets are at the 1280x800 resolution, WXGA, don't think
anyone is producing any higher resolutions.

All tablets have "real" video cards, if they didn't you'd have no
video. Integrated video cards aren't the limit of your resolution, its
based on the screen they put on the tablet and that is most likely
driven by marketing. What you gain with a discrete video card is
performance.
