The identical chip could be rated differently in two different graphics cards. As far as CPUs, a model released later could actually have been intended for-say-a laptop. The thing may not have sold well in laptops, so they might have stuck it into something else and marketed it for another purpose. They can also change the statistics somewhat for different applications of the chip.
I'm pretty sure they do the same with power supplies, some of the same brand ones are all the same even though the packages and ratings are different. Heck I got a case stock 350W and it runs
- 4x1g stick of ram.
- E8400 running at 4ghz.
- 3 120mm case fans.
- 1 blue orb cooler.
- HD4850 overclocked to god knows what.
- 2 Hard drives
- 1 DVD-R
- and a few blue cold cathodes.
Not expecting a reply cause your probably gone. I'm just saying that Wattage is misleading.
