So what?

MY guess is 3-5 each of a few better thought of brands, Gigabyte, ASUS etc. Plus about 700 XFX

AMD launches Radeon R9 Nano

Let’s just pretend it’s Thursday.

AMD Radeon R9 Nano is the most powerful Mini-ITX graphics card ever made.

AMD Radeon R9 Nano, which is actually not codenamed Fury Nano, is still considered as the newest member of Fury series (check the slides below). The card is based on fully unlocked Fiji graphics processor with 4096 Stream Processors, 256 Texturing Units and 64 Raster Units. The clock speed, which is rated at 1000 MHz – using NVIDIA’s terminology – is actually not a base clock, but a boost clock. Theoretically it could achieve 1 GHz, but the controller will adjust the frequency to keep Nano as quiet and and cold as possible.

Well if the media embargo isn't lifted until the 10th of September, I can see the actual launch date being another week or so after that.

Actual stock levels will be in the tens not the hundreds, I expect.

Maybe their will be a whole 500 cards worldwide at launch? That would probably improve on the X....

Just a handful at OCUK?

Kaap and LTMatt will probably snap those up at launch lol.

If you want a Nano, need to make sure F5 key is at the ready !

Someone put up a post earlier saying the nano did have HDMI2.

I thought the HDMI revision was a limitation of GNC 1.2, if they have managed to get HDMI 2 on the Nano I do wonder they didn't put on Fury X.

 

[JediFragger]

Unless they've seen sense and included one of the Club3D adaptors in the box? Considering a lot of machines will be built for the living room it'd be thoughtful of them

 

[rtho782]

I can't see it having HDMI2, that doesn't seem right given the omission from Fury and Fury X.

However, if it's Fury pricing and Fury X performance (no missing shaders, tiny mhz deficit) it raises the question why anyone would ever buy a Fury X.

There has to be more to it.

 

[smilertoo]

After googling and seeing the prices of these adapters it seems very unlikely.

LOL, AMDs own benchmarks, remember the FX, they had it beating the Ti, yet when it came out, it didn't even beat the 980, and the non X, didn't even beat the 390X, which is just a rebranded 290X.

970GTX level then Loads

 

[bru]

OK so its

42 dBA
75 degrees
30% faster than a 290x
1000 MHz
30% less power than a 290x

Well it might very well be all those things, but certainly not all at once.

Some very interesting marketing from AMD with this card.

Could be around that, or lower.

Nice try at spinning the narrative mate.

AMD put out benchmarks at 4K, where the Fury X does trade blows and get some wins with the 980 Ti, and destroys the 980.

Nano will be the same story, excellent 4K performance in a tiny package. Something that there is no alternative for.

If your at 1080P look elsewhere?

AMD don't always suck, when amd64 came out they surprised everyone.
