GTX 580 comparison

What is the difference between these GTX 580's?

EVGA 015-P3-1580-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

and

EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

The only thing I really see is "SuperClocked"...what does that mean/do?
Thanks.

All it means is that the "Superclocked" card has been overclocked in the factory, so its slightly faster than the standard model.


Superclocked model:

797 MHz GPU
1594MHz Shader Clock
Memory
1536 MB, 384 bit GDDR5
4050 MHz (effective)

VS

Stock Model:

772 MHz GPU
1544MHz Shader Clock
Memory
1536 MB, 384 bit
4008 MHz (effective)

As you can see the superclocked model has slightly higher Core/shader and memory frequencies, in reality it won't be much faster than the stock card and isn't anything you couldn't do at home with a stock card.

If you look at the core clock and shader speeds the "Super Clocked" version has a higher clock speed or "over clock". In relation to gaming the difference in the 2 cards will not be seen visually.
