one manufacturer believes that 150 will be enough
the other thinks that overclocking it might reach over 150 watts so he adds another 75 watts connector
each board has different design and components, so results are different, sometimes not by much but manufacturers must over-provision their cards to avoid bad surprises

as you see, those are opinions
the recomended psu remains the same for the reason i explained, a 75 watts extra connector will not be used fully, perhaps only 15 or 20 watts more, so the psu will remain recomended as 500 watts, because gpu + cpu and other parts will not use over 400 watts under load so there is space to add more devices or space for overcloking, as i mentioned overprovisioning
