R9 Nano Review thread

Harlequin said:
so people laud over £1000 for a titan x but whinge over the fastest itx solution? really?

but no fanboys exist here do they....

er no, Titan X got completely caned about the price on here.

People really do clutch at straws trying to claim "fanboy". People are allowed to debate pros and cons of products without people crying about it.

Seems the majority think the Nano is over priced, just like the Titan X.
 
I haven't seen anyone "fanboy" anything, either. Just a bunch of people, myself included, discussing how high the price is, for what it is, and who it is aimed at. Humbug came out with a great response about its price in either this, or the other Nano thread.

I am not too sure why any sort of disagreement is considered fanboying for the opposition, but hey.

The thing is you can waterblock a fullspeed Fury X for the same price that will go in any case a watercooled Nano will go in.

The Fury X with water blocks is tiny and single slot.

Firstly... :eek: Mother of.... :cool:

Secondly, feel free to send me a couple of the unused AIO's :D
 
ocuk sold out of titanx as they did for the similar priced gtx 980

this is the fastest card in itx format , yet its being slated by the same people who spent similar money on a gtx 980!

?

The 980 was released a year a go. A YEAR - that is a massive amount of time in the tech world. Also, it was still £100 cheaper than this : /

The 980 was also the fastest graphics card (single GPU) you could buy at the time. The Nano is not. In fact it isnt even in the top 3.

It's not being slated ONLY by people who might have bought a 980, the fact that OCUK have sold less than 10 in the first three days shows that it's being slated by pretty much everyone, even those that would be in the market for such a card

Intel just missed moores law so cycles are extending - so a year isn't a massive amount of time in the desktop world anymore - they are at the limit of shrink tech. Also money wise , its cheaper than the 980Ti which it nearly matches at 4k (depending on which review you want to read)

A year is still a long time in the tech world. I storngly suspect a 980TI will be looking quite slow in less than a years time when Pascal/die shrink cards are released.

Also, I think you need to take a look at the prices of these cards as nothing you say about the prices of these cards is correct. First you say the Nano is the same price as the 980 was at launch when in fact it is £100 more expensive and now you think the Nano costs less than a 980Ti (cheapest for cheapest, the 980Ti is £30 less expensive currently).

if you read what I put, is said the 980Ti reference the cost - which is very true ; a 980Ti at launch was $699 day 1 prices (yes above rrp) so the fury nano is cheaper.

What a brilliant example of cherry picking.

You could have course look at the rest of the review and see that in most of the benchmarks, the 980Ti beats the Nano soundly at 4k : /

4fps isn't exactly `soundly`.

again its faster than the number 2 card in the niche slot - the GTX970 mini so your honestly comparing apples to oranges ; I merely showed that in at least 1 occasion (the semantics of what I wrote) it can closely match on occasion the GTX 980Ti.

No, you said "Also money wise , its cheaper than the 980Ti which it nearly matches at 4k (depending on which review you want to read)"

Both of these statements are false.

Again, you said: "its cheaper than the 980Ti which it nearly matches at 4k "

This is entirely false.

Sorry to have to call you out on it but a lot of people come on here for purchasing advice and saying that the Nano is cheaper and nearly as fast as the 980Ti at 4k is just factually incorrect and doesn't help anyone.
 
how is it false? it is cheaper than the gtx 980ti at launch and in the review I linked to nearly matches it.

neither of which is false.
