Before you buy, check the TDP of the graphics card - this characteristic will help you estimate the consumption of the graphics card. You may even have to upgrade your PSU to meet its requirements. An important factor when choosing between GeForce GTX 280M SLI and Radeon R6 Carrizo is the price. Does the additional cost justify the performance hit? Our comparison should help you make the right decision.
