Don’t Call It Fury: R9 Nano Is AMD’s Latest Fiji-Based Graphics Card

[SoundFX09]

Absolutely Excited for the Nano. Though to be honest, I think AMD is asking too much for this card. $650? I don't think so. If the card was maybe $500 and they dropped the Fury to $450 and the 390X to $400, Then the Nano would fly off the shelves. I would be sure of it.

Considering that the Nano is likely (marginally) slower than the Fury and more expensive (even in your "what if" case), it won't be flying off any shelves.

Hell, the only benefit the Nano has is the mITX size, but at 175W (thermal) it pushes the limit of what mITX case capable power supplies put out! (after including current spikes) You basically need an SFF+ (longer than SFF) power supply, and any case that supports that generally supports 10"+ cards as well.

It would probably help some. Maybe it can handle full clocks without getting past 85C usually. Reviews will hopefully disable the clock limiter and see how it behaves. Yea I'm sure it'll throttle once it gets near 100C or lower.

I doubt it usually they are giving a card to review and if they damage it they have to pay for it. Got an extra $650 laying around?

30% better performance vs gtx970 for only about 100% more on price.
Yup, can't wait for the review.

While that is true, it is going to be the single strongest ITX card out there, so if someone is looking for the strongest ITX card to make an ITX rig that can push the best graphics, this is it.

As said though, that is only if you use a case that cannot support a full sized GPU and I linked a miniITX case that can fit a GTX 980Ti easily.

Plus we have yet to see the actual performance. All we have are marketing slides which are cherry picked benchmarks, every company does this. So until we see actual numbers we have to assume it is the most powerful mITX GPU but we wont know for sure until the 10th or a day or two before it.

seriously they should retired the fury name long ago as the first fury card drove people furious due to piss poor driver support on the level of windows ME the blue screen edition with only lasted a few months
which is why I never buy amd

 

[littleleo]

Yeah, and of course Windows ME was a real winner too talk about being doubly cursed.
