Nvidia is just straight out lying about power figure?
Every review pinpoints the GTX 480 power load at around the 5970's... and the 5970 is rated at 294W. The 480 at 250W. Something obviously does NOT add up.

What's even more shocking is that the 470 uses almost 80-100W more than the 5850. It's one thing to say power doesn't matter when you're talking about the flagship, but now we're talking about the more budget-conscious 5850 vs. 470 bracket where the power consumption figures get noticed
