Being desperate because of trying virtually any possible Linux kernel tweaking, various nVidia nouveau+proprietary drivers, modifying nVidia card registry, physically unplugging PCI cards, disabling everything possible in BIOS etc., I decided to install Windows 7 (tried both clean install and whole range of Dell drivers stuff) supposing that of course no such issue would appear.
