EVGA's Newest Fermi Card Sports a Backplate, Custom I/O Bracket
The number of Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 videocards in EVGA's stable now sits at four, the latest being the GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked + w/ High Flow Bracket and Backplate.
Everything that sets this card apart from the rest is laid out in the uber-long naming scheme, starting with the SuperClocked+ frequencies. EVGA goosed the GPU clockspeed from 700MHz to 726MHz, the same as on the vanilla SuperClocked version, and cranked the memory from 3696MHz to 3800MHz, also the same as the standard SuperClocked model.
Unique to this particular card, however is the backplate slapped to the underside of the card. Along with the high flow bracket, EVGA claims temperatures are reduced by up to 7C.
No word on when it will ship, only that it will run $550, at least if purchased direct from EVGA. The graphics maker also sells a reference GeForce GTX 480 for $520, SuperClocked model for $530, and the Hydro Copper FTW version (for water cooling setups) for $650.

Even though backplates are shiny, cool and lickable, I'm still holding out for revision 2.0 on Fermi.

EVGA normally sells stuff like this on the website. You may just need to give them time to get enough in stock.

I already own an eVGA GTX 480 SuperClocked and would like to add this new backplate and io shield to it. I hope eVGA makes it available to existing customers through their online store.
I previously was running a GTX 260 that had a backplate and had some defective RAM-sinks melt off my RAM and rest on the video card. The backplate save the video card from shorting out. Cooling and aesthetics aside, I just want that extra protection for my hefty video card investment.
I also saw a rumor over on the nVidia forums that eVGA would be making these backplates available free of charge to existingGTX 480 owners. While that would be excellent I would settle for paying a reasonable price for it. Say $10 to $15 for registered owners of the card?
