Exclusives like this are the counterpoint to the "price match guarantee" of many stores. The price match applies to the exact model number, so you'll see one store with an xxxxxx-bq1 and another with an xxxxxx-bz1 then another xxxxxx-aq1 (numbers pulled out of a hat as an example). That's a fancy gimmick which makes the guarantee meaningless in many cases, but it often explains why you don't find a model number matching exactly anywhere else.
As to the card itself, I see no reason to suspect it's of markedly lower quality.

Does the documentation state the actual clock rate of the card? A standard 1080 runs at 1607 MHz (1.607 GHz put another way)

A factory overclocked card will run higher than that number by default.

You can download GPU-Z to see the clock speed. It looks like a revised version of the original SC version since it advertises 11000 mhz VRAM vs. the original which ran at 10. It also uses the newer style backplate.
Edit: Looks like EVGA updated their site to include your card https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6581-KR.

you can try userbenchmark, which is lightly featured but it also checks drives and memory as well as GPU speed and VRAM.
curious about this card myself, since it has the newer 11Gbps memory. saw it on the shelf at BB, and the service manager said they could drop it to $500 on a price-match. have you tried to overclock it manually? what kind of temps do you get?
The GTX 1080 with the model number: 08G-P4-6283-KB is not actually on the EVGA's website. This model: 08G-P4-6183-KB is closer to the branding of this new card. The base clock frequency of this particular card is 1708MHz (mine shows 1782MHz on idle for whatever reason...) and 1847MHz as it's boost clock speed. There is also no ICX branding on the box or any manuals that are inside. You are more likely to see ACX 3.0 anywhere else. I bought this card in hopes of seeing this because I was confused when I put this on the shelf for sell two weeks ago. As far as it goes for the whole "guarantee" thing, with video cards, BB doesn't do that because they can't really, (partner relationships and branding are mainly part of this issue) TVs and computers are a different thing. Not knocking you, though. You got a very good card surprisingly enough
