gtx 260- 114

hmmm 114/2=57+114=171 watts (what the pwr consumption would have to be to be 50% more)
the power consumption of a 4870 is 166, a bit less than 50% more than the gtx 260.
You are picking a Biased review that puts head to head a heavy overclockd GTX260 vs standart HD 4870 1Gb.
Those power comsuption numbers are off too.

Use this review instead please:
