AMD Radeon R9 Nano coming next week

[Davedree]

This card is going to do one of two things.

Option A:

Be brilliant, powerful, quite, cool running, small form factor, frugal and well priced.

Option B:

Only some of the above and then not at the same time.


If it is option A then unfortunately it will make the FuryX a complete waste of time.

If it is option B then it will be a massive disappointment.

I think we all know how this is going to pan out.

Agreed and then when you compare performance between the 596mm2 die to the gm204 398mm2 it could be

Yup loads of disappointed people who missed the post saying performance figures are embargoed till September 10th.

Jezus these AMD threads get some depressing posts

Sure the card will be great, price will determine whether it's worth buying at launch but I'm sure in time all these Fiji cards will get better availability / pricing and peeps will be happy. Well maybe not happy, less bitter / angry maybe

I'm coming tonight if that helps, and I know their's going to be no 'unveiling'

 

[JediFragger]

Is that £400 at OCuk, or £400 with the current exchange rate at Caseking?

Yup

If this is really going to be full-fat and $400 I'd be almost tempted to try one myself....

Same, will give AMD another go. Do my bit to support the underdog lol.

I wonder what is to stop nvidia from making a mini 980Ti apart from pascal will replace it soon enough

might be worth mentioning that my mini 970 beats my fury x in a few situations ive seen so I dont rate the chances of the nano that much, the furies really need better drivers and overclock.

Just forget it, you'll not be able to get hold of a one

No way is it a 1000mhz full fury at 175w.

Lies. Lies I say!

Of course it does mate

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Of course it does mate

It will if its clocked a bit, don't forget, the FX is only around the 980s performance, and the 980 isn't that much faster than the 970, so if its decently clocked, yep, it will beat the FX in a few

It may be but it isn't gonna perform like one, AMD probably did there tests on an open bench to reduce throttling so once there in cases it'll be a very different story.

My GTX660 running liquid unobtanium cooling and running at 23GHZ makes the GTX980TI look balls.

Well it is not beyond the realms of possibility is it.

for example.

just after a quick search.

1080p in true cherry pickiest fashion.

When it's switched off? At 720p???

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Probably upto 1GHZ,but with a lower base clockspeed. I would put this at GTX980 level at high resolution but probably in-between GTX970 and GTX980 level at lower resolutions like 1080P.

It will be interesting to see if it beats the reference GTX980 as the card with the best performance/watt at the moment.
