Already listed at Newegg.com

As you could see from various reviews over the Internet, the GTX 480 packs quite a punch under its cooler with five heatpipes and as it supports voltage adjustments, it is no surprise that EVGA is working on the SuperClocked and even some other factory overclocked versions of the same card.

The Newegg.com has listed the EVGA SuperClocked Geforce GTX 480 card, and was even kind enough to post a full specification list including all the clocks. As you already know, the reference card works at 700MHz for the GPU, 1401MHz for Shaders or GPU CUDA cores as Nvidia calls them these day and 924MHz (3696MHz effective) for the 1536MB of GDDR5 memory.

As with all previous generations, EVGA is apparently going to do factory overclocked card, and according to Newegg.com listing, the SuperClocked version works, or to be precise, is overclocked to 725MHz for the GPU, 1450MHz for Shaders and 950MHz (3800MHz effective) for the same 1536MB of GDDR5 memory. EVGA didn't change the reference cooler as we guess that there is no point in it since Nvidia obviously have done a great job with it, despite the fact that it is noisy.

As you can see in our review, the reference card from Nvidia came with Samsung's memory rated to work at 1250MHz (5000MHz effective), but we still don't know which boards did partners get and if they use the same memory there is definitely still more room for overclocking.

You can find the EVGA SuperClocked card listed here with a US $529.99 price tag. Of course, the card is listed as "out of stock" so be patient till April 12th.
