From a practicality perspective, replacing a video card is less of a pain in the ass than replacing a PSU. That said, a GPU that won't even show a boot/Windows while another will is a big flag for the card, not the PSU.

The GPU power draw on boot is very minimal, and even if it has a 280watt draw on load, if it was a PSU problem you're more likely to see crashes when running a game than when booting up.
