Nar, that's the bracket.

Regular bracket vs new bracket -

Regular, no backplate vs new backplate -

Might have to pimp my 470 up with one of them brackets as well.

hmm.. interesting. 7c is a decent difference. Oh well though. I'm on water

If you have the older bracket just take some tin snips and cut out every other metal strand for more exhaust. It is sort of like running a flowmaster on your video card. You just don't get the thrill of the rumble sound!

Well for the EVGA lifetime warranty, this is the only route. Mod the bracket and the warranty is null/void.

Pre order superclocked 480 with newer bracket+backplate.

EVGA adds GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked+ to its offer

Guess I'll end up having to take advantage of the free trade up from EVGA if they are not going to offer a separate backplate and bracket to order soon for the original GTX 480.

From what I can tell, EVGA will be sending out free brackets to all registered users. The backplates, can be bought and will be coming soon.
