I will specify in bios that nvidia be used instead of "auto" which in this case is using the onboard intel display card, and provide the same information again.

[159549.883] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" [159549.883] (II) Unloading nvidia This suggests X knows about the NVidia card, but that the only connected monitor is connected to a motherboard port, not to any NVidia card port, so only the Intel IGP has anything to do. Why no video output I can't explain from anything I see in the log. If you're trying to get both NVidia and Intel outputs to work at the same time in order to use only HDMI cables instead of DisplayPort, I'd be surprised if you can find any way to do it with a Dell BIOS. IME, with a Dell, it's one or the other only. IME with a Dell, the onboard never works as expected if a discrete graphics card is installed. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
