Nvidia’s GTX 480 which  comes from the much delayed Ge Force 400 Series is the highest-end model from the GTX 400 series and comes with 480 CUDA cores, a 700 MHz core clock speed, 1401 MHz shader clock and 1.5 GB of GDDR5 memory.

The company’s SuperClocked cards, available in both GTX 480 and GTX 470 flavours, retain NVIDIA’s reference cooler but raise clock speeds across the board.

Comparing GTX 480 with GTX 470, the GeForce GTX 470 SC raises GPU clock speed from 607MHz to 625MHz, shader frequency from 1,215MHz to 1,250MHz and comes armed with a 1,280MB frame buffer clocked at an effective 3,402MHz – up from 3,348MHz on a standard card.The GTX 480, meanwhile, sees similar jumps throughout. The card’s GPU is pre-overclocked from 700MHz to 725MHz, the 480 stream processors jump from 1,401MHz to 1,450MHz and the 1,536MB of GDDR5 memory rises from 3,696MHz to 3,800MHz.

A healthy all-round increase for what are already NVIDIA’s fastest-ever GPUs, but if that just won’t do, EVGA’s liquid-cooled HydroCopper FTW editions raise the bar even higher.
