AMD Radeon R9 Nano coming next week

Its a shame AMD don't seems to have the production numbers for stock as despite the price i think these things would sell really well.

The compute capabability is only important to be mentioned when Nvidia is beating AMD on it (much like the importance of lower power consumption and noise-level ).

You really do come across as a big fanboy.

Nice card, crazy price.

It's the old AMD flip flop shuffle

Always when "Nvidia did this" or "do that" and never about what AMD are doing. Tiresome reading and typical of how a true fanboy works.

Greg lets get off the Fanboy crap please and talk about the card, not every thread need to be fanboy calling junk!

The performance to power is good, but not £550+ good. It's target market is the itx crowd, why on earth someone would stump up near twice the price for this rather then clocking the hell out of a 970 is beyond me, even the fury x becomes a better option for itx provided you have a spare 120mm mount.

Furthermore, if amd can get this perf v power ratio on the nano, why haven't they scaled this up on a bigger card to 250w+ and blown Maxwell out of the water?

Not so much disappointed, but certainly puzzled.

I would be interested to know how they did it, on the face of it it doesn't look any different to the Fury and yet its a lot more efficient.

From a technology stand point this card is pretty impressive. I expect that the price will remain high if the supply remains low.

looking at some of the reviews, they seem to be suggesting the cards are actually pulling 200ish at 850mhz and 240ish at 1070, so the perf/watt is actually the same as the FuryX, they've just labelled the nano as 175W but its pulling more than that at stock

LE-FISH will be a multi user. AMD martketing.

Should have got those 2x Asus 970 Minis, similar performance, but you would have saved around £460

These Powercolor Nanos are self-replicating, 5 in stock at 1300, went down to 3 in stock and already back to 5!

Maybe there are so expensive because over time, a single purchase will produce a second Nano for Crossfire?

Or he's read the reviews and cancelled the order
