OH MY G your right i didn't even thought of that thou that shop is one of the biggest in sweden so maybe somethign else happend

or maybe this is just the european version which would be sad aswell as the one you showed looked alot nicer i actually saw it before but forgot about it

your right it is a superclocked sticker on the box not inprinted thou i don't dare to drag it off

well i checked it does say P/N: 015-P3-1482-AR

so basically i payed like what was it 50$ extra to get a superclocked sticker on the box and a minor overclock that won't be noticeable in any game?

yea i want to return it but it's not that easy

first according to them i have to pay a fee to return it

second they will heve to inspect it if they decide to send it back i have nothing to say just a even more broken box and possibly a ugly white sticker like my gtx 285 had after i returned it for a diagnostic

third they don't grow on trees here i bet i am one of maybe 10-20 in sweden that owns a superclocked/vanilla evga as i orderd it the second it got set up on the site i even got mine earlier then planned according to the site the card won't be in stock untill june 1 and that is still not 100% sure

lastly i had to ask my dad to drive to where i could pick it up which is in the city and takes like 40 min to get to

and considering i actually waited for this since october on a pentium 4 makes me cry

and it wasn't cheap either i payed a total of 680.971 USD (ran thru currency converter)

but right now i have my thoughts of returning it i feel really ripped off 

edit:i checked the site www.komplett.se and looked for the gtx 480 superclocked

see it clearly has the correct box picture

then what the he*l did i get?

Usually I wouldn't care - but in this case it resulted in many scratches on the polished plastic parts of the cooler,
probably from the ESD-Bag... On both my cards I might add... In addition the cards were literally
covered with fingerprints - hardly a reason to RMA them
but still I think I should mention this - bcs It doesn't really made a good impression.

i will wait a little more to see what they say about this so far no answer which is very weird as they usually answer quickly

but what bothers me the most is the way it has been handled the scratches on the card it just looks like i bought it used which is NOT what i wanted when i payed nearly 700$

as for the boxart that is a incredibly sad thing aswell could of mind aswell bought a vanilla overclocked it make a superclocked sticker put it on done i would have saved about 50$

i really hope this has a happy ending it's not like im rich which is the reason i had to sit on a pentium 4 for 7 months

im also going to try to email evga about this

We did ship something to UK but we got so few card for entire Europe that there is no real EVGA GTX 470/480 availability in Europe in a sense you can go and buy a card. If you pre-ordered early enough, you might got a product. The next batch - even smaller than the original one - will be delayed due to the cancellation of flights in Europe.

Most cards we currently sell are Superclocked versions. Even though the amount of overclocking is not too high, we don't see the point of selling standard graphics card when we can manufacture products with a tad more performance.
