AMD Radeon R9 Nano coming next week

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

http://www.kitguru.net/components/g...and-launch-date-of-amd-radeon-r9-nano-leaked/

£509 in the UK!!!!!!!!!!

According to Wccftech if you read the link.

 

[AthlonXP1800]

$649 confirmed too.

A Sapphire Fury Tri-X OC is £449 available now,

I know that it could be a niche market for the Nano (or not with a bit of luck) and it will be an amazing card for small builds but the price is more than a little high IMO. if true.

I really don't think it will land at the price said in the article... If it is between the Fury X and the 390x then it should be £450 max.

It seems to be a non-Fury R9,as its called R9 Nano??

 

[HardStyler3]

was listed for 599€ yesterday at a german shop

but only for a very short time

so 650$ should not be true

That is a good point.

Aren't all fiji cards Fury's though??

What I would like to understand is how they can produce such performance with such a low power draw????

Usage will probably be capped, ie. the more load the GPU is under the lower it boosts.

$650 is seemed correct.

So accorded to xe.com exchange rate 599€ = $676.

$650 is seemed correct.

So accorded to xe.com exchange rate €599 = $676.

So £420 to £440 then.... if all those prices are are in the right ball park....

no 650$ would mean over 700€ for the card

599€ means something like 500$

we have taxes here in germany

+VAT brings it up to just over £500.

If the price is true for the Nano i'm sorry i can't see AMD cards doing that well this gen. The nano could have been a fantastic card it just needed the right price. The price is looking like a good quarter too high. It needs atleast one 5th of the price knocking off.

 

[Gregster]

Well if that price is indeed correct, this will be a poor seller. It needed to be priced around the 970 really. Seeing this launch of Fiji has me scratching my head in terms of "what the hell are AMD doing"? Poor stock levels and silly high prices in an ever declining market just wreaks of fail. There is only so much charity that can be dished out before people have had enough.

Depends if the 599 Eu price includes sales tax.....

Not sure if this has been posted

well I am not sure about that Greg

if Eurogamer is correct then it would totally own the 970

AMD is targeting a $650 price-point for the R9 Nano - identical to the full-fat Fury X. Now, it may seem strange to charge exactly the same price for a lower-performing product, but the firm is keen to point out that the R9 Nano is an entirely unique offering. It's designed for small form-factor mini-ITX builds, where space is limited. According to AMD, in this scenario, the only competition that's anything like the R9 Nano is Nvidia's GTX 970 mini - a great card for a small form-factor build, but very definitely a tier or two down from the mooted performance offered by this new product.

Edited as I cant see much more than two inches today, so expect garbled spelling mistakes....

 

[humbug]

It might be a bit cheaper if they have production of enough of them but even then i doubt they would be much cheaper, no one buys AMD even if they are cheap, with low volumes they have no choice but to sell high.

 

[LambChop]

It's like Poundland Vs M&S. AMD will never learn, they see themselves as one of the big players yet less than 20% of market share tells you you are not. There's someone in that company that thinks they can price their cards where the competition is and are deluded enough to think they will either make money or claw back market share if they do that. Price your cards accordingly you clowns.

Its because people see them as pound-land that they have 20% market share and its because of that AMD have no choice but to sell them with higher margins.

Exactly, performance is supposedly better than a 980, so not sure why anyone would suggest it should be price same as a 970. If performance was at 970 level then sure, but if this is a 980 beater in a small form factor than £380 > £399 would have been ok. Close to £500, um no that's to much. Good luck with that AMD.

£380 / 980 performance level with form factor giving it an edge would have been spot on.
