I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the "250W TDP" you're reading is based on the max power that can be supplied by the PCI-e slot and power connectors and has nothing to do with the real world power draw of the card at reference settings.
How do you get 250W from summing up the max. draw from the PCIe slot and the power connectors? 75+75+75 = 225W.
