Which would be better

My daughters Dell Precision 370 as a ATI FireGL V3100 Graphics card installed. I have a spare EVGA 7900GT/KO card sitting on a shelf and I want to use it in this machine.. She recently started playing COD4, and while the graphics are decent, would it be better to use this card instead? I believe he machine will support it..

Marginal at best - the 7900GT requires a 350w PSU, and that's exactly what that thing has.

The DirectX drivers for the FireGL's are actually pretty decent.
