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 Radeon R6 M340DX and Radeon R9 M280X is the price. Does the additional cost justify the performance hit? Our comparison should help you make the right decision.
