Overclocked Gainward GTX 570 Card Has the Coolest Name Ever

Nvidia today formally announced its GeForce GTX 570 GPU, representing the latest addition to the GTX 500 series and offering up "explosive performance and quiet gaming." Strong marketing words, for sure, but nothing compared to Gainward's nomenclature.
Coinciding with the launch, Gainward outted two GTX 570 videocards, including the Gainward GeForce GTX 570 1280MB "Golden Sample" Goes Like Hell edition.
This isn't the first time Gainward has come out with a GLH videocard, but this is certainly the fastest card to be labled as such. To earn that title, Gainward cranked the GPU clockspeed from 732MHz to 800MHz and goosed the memory from 1.9GHz to 2GHz. Not earth shattering, but a respectable bump that should give Gainward's GLH variant a performance advantage over stock-clocked GTX 570 cards.
No word yet on price, but it will likely end up higher than what current stock clocked cards are going for on the street, which is around $350.

I've looked for this card on Amazon and NewEgg and can't locate it. Gainward's website only lists vendors in Europe. Does this mean they don't do business in the States? If so, then why didn't MaximumPC point this out???

Paul, do you think this card will share the same performance as the GTX480 as I believe it will? I believe this card at stock clocks will easily be with in 1 to 3 FPS faster or slower in game benchmarks as the GTX480. If so then this should be the card to buy for 3 way SLI if it supports Tri SLI.
