Looking at the specs for both the GTX 1070 (reference) and the RX 570 (reference), I see they are both rated as a 150W cards. Yet AMD specs the minimum PSU for the RX 570 as 450W, while Nvidia specs a 500W as minimum for its GTX 1070. How can that be? Shouldn't they both require the same minimum size PSU?
Btw, I already know the 1070 is faster, and am aware of the difference in power draw increase of overclocking. I'm just curious about the way the specs are presented.
