What model is the Dell? BIOS and drivers are not the same thing. While you do run into an issue where a BIOS update is sometimes needed to fully support a later CPU model of the same socket, this has never been the case with video cards. Also, while the BIOS shouldn't matter, power supply does. So running a GTX 750 may not be possibly on the default power supply, depending on what your model came with.
