hmmm if someone buys AMD both gpu and cpu - then exits desaktop ; Nv likely broken up by the FTC under anti trust laws - same with Intel; Intels plan will be to quickly licences X86 to a Chinese company who wants it ; NVidia have no such escape plan

You are for one or you are just looking for an argument, which I have no interest in. Read this thread and the others to see what is what if not and you will see them.

Not looking for an argument and clearly I'm not defending Nano, if people could please ease off with the bs regurgitation even for the sake of this sub or more are going to leave.![]()
Most people would not buy the nano to fit a normal ATX case even if it was cheaper. If you can get a nano with an equivalent price to a 980/390X I bet most would still buy those rather than the nano purely because the nano is restricted by the single power connector and small heatsink.
If, however you want a gpu for a small itx case then you may be limited to the 970/nano or any of the low end gpu's that would fit. Here is where the nano makes sense if you want max performance. Everyone knows where the nano is targeted but we will always get the rival fanboy's trying to make out that it's a failure and trying to dissuade people from it.
I think all of AMD's GPU lineup is pretty solid, but the the pricing is off. Way way way off in some cases.
Good hardware, wrong price..
I genuinely would have an interest if the card was priced around the £250/£300 mark and would be looking to buy it. I like it but the current price and performance is just laughable at the asking price.
*SNIP*

Grow up man, you are not a child.
User suspensions/sub access tends to be a neutral base of judgement.
250/300 ? Are you dreaming Gregster? I would maybe have expected 400 to 450 for a reasonable cost, but not 250 to 300 when this IS a fully enabled Fury, regardless of throttling. (And yes, I realize that it is your interest at that price, but that is literally just dreaming).
Fair comment and looking at the price of other cards, £400 would be more realistic but from a personal perspective, I wouldn't pay that either but it would only be going in a second PC, so I am not the person this GPU is aimed at and hence why my unrealistic price before I would consider it.

Pointless trying to state what price point you would buy at if you're not the target customer. It it clearly aimed at itx builds and even within that segment there will be limited people who want a gaming itx pc. Many, like myself, probably just use mediapc's for watching movies or surfing the net.I certainly wouldn't spend a lot of money for a 970-itx or nano when the media pc is only going to be used for non-gaming stuff.
I see why you made the comment as I quickly went and looked at the price of the 970 mini as that sits in the price range. However, this card isn't on the same performance level as the Nano, so it really isn't a fair ask. It's like me saying I want a 980TI for 300 otherwise I won't buy it.
I completely understand that it is your personal preference though![]()
Maybe. I have said for a long time that I want to build a second PC but maybe me not wanting to spend that much on it is my thoughts. Who do you genuinely think will be the target audience for this? I can see the Micro builders buying of course but just not at that price, realistically thinking. What would be your price that would make you buy it?
I think the current price is expensive and should be around £400-£450 since it is slower than the 980ti and FuryX which can be fit in some itx cases. Imo the target audience is people who want to play games in their living room or those who want a tiny itx pc instead of some huge full tower case taking up space.
Basically even people going for tiny ITX boxes can still fit in a Titan X or Fury X. Linus has a video fitting an 18 core CPU and Titan X/980Ti in a tiny PC ITX case. Why then would you buy a Nano? You'd have to be extremely insane to do so.
Its a difficult card to place with its small size, full fat Fiji core and power efficiency.
Certainly in most ways its better than a Fury-X and just as fast as a Fury-P
I would disagree there, compared to a Fury X it is
Hotter.
Louder.
Worse cooler.
Cheaper build with plastic instead of rubber.
Throttles.
lower clocks.
Not as good for a SFF build (the FX dumps heat of the case).
There is only one area where it is better than a Fury X, the Nano makes a better beer mat !!!
