** AMD R9 NANO NOW IN STOCK & AVAILABLE!! **

I can see people being very unhappy with AMD over the specs as the card does not run anywhere near 1000mhz a lot of the time.

Specification:-
- Stream Processors: 4096
- Core Speed: 1000MHz
- Memory Speed: 500Mhz (1000MHz Effective)
- Memory interface: 4096-Bit
- Memory capacity: 4096MB HBM
- PCI-Express X16 lane required
- 500W or greater PSU required
- Power Connectors: 1x 8-pin required
- Display Outputs: 1x HDMI, 3x DisplayPort
- Dimensions: 154*112*40mm
- Weight: 671g
- Warranty: 2yr
 
Wether one believes the price is rip off or not is really irrelevant ; nobody is being forced to buy!!

If AMD find that they cannot sell them then they will reduce the price .

I do believe that for some the 'high' price is just an excuse to **** off AMD - again. (what is it with people and gpu wars - I know of no other products where such nastiness/stupidity is seen).

If this product does it for you and you do not find the price beyond you then buy and enjoy :)
 
Just to mention the fact that for me any gpu above £250 is overpriced - have never been tempted by Titan/980ti/Furyx/Fury.
Might be when prices drop a lot but not before.:)

Would agree that it may well be the situation in real use that 1000mhz is the exception rather than the rule BUT if when cooled 'fully/properly' it will run at this where is the innacurate claim.
Every gpu will throttle if it gets too hot - what is so different upon this occasion! (I would observe that I agree that it should be pointed out but not to be harped on about over and over again)

I think the problem at the moment that AMD seem to keep offering "the moon on a stick" and in reality what you get is more stick and less moon! :)

Also GFX card prices do seem to be somewhat out of control at the moment, a GFX card can cost as much as the rest of the PC!

Many people here could afford the price, AMD used to be about "value for money" and "bang for your buck", now along with greedy retailers it just seems to be about gouging the market for your latest product.

Nano seems like a decent product, it's just overpriced!

You do realise the RRP is $649??

So the Nano should be around £500ish.

Not nearly £600.

The well known brands have always charged a premium on their product, regardless of its RRP. Look at the price difference on the Asus Reference 980Ti for instance.. It was £70 different at one point.

Claiming it's £600 because Asus think it's worth that much isn't exactly fair. If there are various available for £550 I think it's a lot more fair to say it's £550, rather than rounding up to £600 :p

Either way, the extra £45 over the US price + VAT could be down to a lot of things, availability I imagine is a major one.

Agreed:)

BTW the cheapest (and only one in stock )is £530 - still not a bargain but some way of £600

Probably less than 500 cards from all manufactures for EU.

Or so I may or may not know.

Amazed, nearly sold out.

Fact is AMD need to make money, so if these cost them £100 to make and they can flog them for £600, then they need to do it and keep doing it. End of the day it offers good performance, OK the value for money is not great but there is no card this tiny this powerful, so they do have a USP and to be frank can charge what they like if supply is slow.

Fury X absolutely flies out, whenever stock lands, it tends to sell within a days.


None of us are happy with the prices or lack of stock, but if AMD can shift all their product at these prices then good on them, I for one want them to be still here in years to come because they keep NVIDIA on their toes. :)
 
I like your positive spin but the fact AMD keeps launching products that you can't buy seems very odd, obviously they "sell out" when they finally come into stock due to "latent pent up demand".

How many consumers just think "OK, I can't buy AMD I will buy Nvidia", they must be losing let's of revenue by not having product for consumers to buy!

It seems that AMD have classed the Nano a "niche" product with a price tag to match, they don't seem to be able to provide stock to the market for any of their new products.

What we need AMD to do it "produce" best bang for buck products again that you can actually buy off the shelf ;)
 
I think they have a more fundamental problem at the moment, they need to get "kit on the shelves"!

It doesn't matter how good your hardware/software is if the consumer can't buy it

I still want them to be around.

But I want them to be competitive and its only the price that lets this card down (even if it is the most powerful card in this form factor).

I saw a post at another forum that was well said,

The card is so small it uses less of everything so why is it so expensive, its BOM (bill of materials) is less than the FuryX.

Amen Brother!!!

No doubt that AMD's hardware is kickass, they just need to sort the software/support side out in my eyes and they'll be onto a winner :cool:

In my opinion I think their drivers have been more stable than Nvidia's of late. Sometimes I wonder why AMD get such a bad press over their drivers. They are no where near as bad as lots of you make out.
 
I think the trouble is, is that there isn't really even a "niche" market for it. Most SFF cases are big enough to accommodate a 980TI and some could take a Fury X anyway so at the price AMD are selling it for, it doesn't make sense.

It is basically a card for those who absolutely positively must have the smallest case available.

I just don't think there can be that big a market of people who can't cope with a case 2 inches longer to accommodate a faster and cheaper card (980Ti)
 
I don't believe anyone wants to see AMD go under and I would pour scorn on anyone that does but they are not a charity and are a business but it just comes across as a poorly run business. CPUs are crap, GPUs are much better but non existent for the high end at least.

I know they can pull it back and having experimented with HBM, the next round of cards could really see AMD at the forefront but from recent history, they will find away to **** it up.

Zen and Greenland is where they are aiming, so don't **** it up please.
 
In less than a years time Nvidia will bring out Pascal with HBM2 and bring out a competitor to the Nano for the SFF market. It will still be expensive and most of you will think it's well worth the money.

If the Nano was an Nvidia product then a lot of you wouldnt bat an eyelid and keep harping on just how good it was. Because it's AMD you are all wading in with your baseball bats.

Nvidia have been selling cards at too high a price for years. Now AMD are trying (not with a great deal of success IMHO) to become a premium product retailer you all are up in arms about it.

The fact is that it is our fault that we are in this mess because we still buy these overpriced cards....myself included. :rolleyes:

They seem to be preparing for a new era for AMD (or RTG) and seem to be putting things in the right places for this to happen. Unfortunately Greg I agree with you, they still seem to be able to **** it all up somehow and it doesnt do the confidence of the consumer any good. :(
 
Even if NVidia came out with this card I'd still think its price was ridiculous... But I'm not one of these people you keep on ranting about.

For its price you can get a water cooled version of the best card on either side of the fence, whether the already small Fury X, or a 980Ti... And I'm not an expert on small form factor, but are there a lot of cases that could not house a Fury X?

I just don't understand the pricing of this card at all... It seems far too much for what it is.
