Looking at framerates the 2 cards are too close. The second isn't a name I see around here so must be up to you to determine out of warranty costs and such.

I looked at framerates and came back with a dead heat. For me I'd get the Dell as the other maker is not one I've seen around the office or anyone I know. It's one of those "You first Mikey" models?
