What's the difference between these cards?

These cards have the same name, although the newegg one has that 700032 in the model number. The thing that seems strange to me is that the one on sell at newegg only has 1 6 pin plug for some reason.

They appear to be the same specs, so how are they powering one with only 1 plug and the other requires 2? Am I missing something here? Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
 
Its the same card, that number its the part number witch its used in the manufacturer in this case "sparkle" its just like an internal ID. an example the number that MSI use are "N560" instead of GTX 560...
 
Ok, well both of the cards are made by sparkle, are the same gtx 560 se but still seem so different. The outward appearance I could get over, but the fact that one requires only a single 6 pin is still throwing me. The one on sale at newegg looks suspiciously like a 460 OEM... I looked all over sparkles website and cant find anything about this card, only the regular 560 se.

If they have actually changed the card to the extent that it can be powered differently, it seems like that might affect overclock-ability, reliability.. really the overall functionality of the card. Just doesn't feel right to me, I like to know what I'm buying... if they are pulling a fast one here, they could be doing so anywhere!
 
why not go with a 650Ti its only 15 bucks more AR. Its faster and cooler.
 
It's probably a typo on that newegg page, I'm sure it still has 2 6 pins from what I've seen on different sites, even zotac's 560 SE looks similar to neweggs 560 pic and it has 2 6 pins.
I did look up that newegg model number and was getting a bunch of foreign sites so I don't know.
