Lovely looking card

 

Who wants to start trying to guess how low the clock speed will have to be to keep the thermals under control with only one fan?

I'll start: 750MHz GPU core...

 

More interested in the price range. I expect it to cost more than the 390x which isn't a good start

 

So many negative people here... qqing about new expensive toys not being EXACTLY right...

People like that need to be shipped away to forever live in Uganda. And i want to visit them each 10 years, ask their opinions about marketing terms and brands.

 

I just want my FuryX dammit!

 

Yeah your right, if it cost more then the 390x, oh boy AMD is in trouble. the sweet spot should be around $369 to $380, any higher then the 390x price no one going to buy the R9 Nano.

 

I'm most interested to see temps on VRM parts under load.

 

Even then there is a good priced 390 at 330$ with 8GB. If nano could offer similiar performance as 390X for less it could be a hit but i doubt it will.

 

It's only big enough to have one fan so I don't expect any heat or throttling issues.

 

can u put this card in a normal sized motherboard?

 

Is this using the same PCB as the Fury/X ore is it different? If it were the same then slap a water block on it and clock it to 1Ghz like the Fury and if the price is right two of these in CF could be fun.

 

The connector looks the same size so I don't see why not.

 

The PCB is much smaller.

 

I read that they think it's possible that it could outperform the 390X. We'll have to wait and see.

 

Its the same size as a GTX 650ti I have. That is just awesome.
Such a damn shame AMD doesnt have a gamestream setup like nvidia does.
There are a few games that dont work with steam game streaming and only work with nvidia game stream for me.

 

I want that so bad 9___9

 

Yeah there is only the amd gaming evolved twitch streaming thingie which I've never used. And w10 can stream some games at least if you have that

 

I really hope the price tag isn't going to make this neat little card unattractive to the point that I'll rather sit it out until '16 Q1~Q3.

That is of course if the cards delivers the expected performance in the first place. The R300's are overpriced to the point of ridiculousness in my opinion, so if suspicions here hold true that the Nano may be contender to the throne of the non fury line up then I think we'll be looking at 400~500$, which I'd find rather unfortunate.

We shall see, I guess.

 

I don't know about you...
But I like the size my things to reflect their performance
e.g. bigger cpu cooler = better cpu
bigger gpu = better gpu
bigger tv...
etc...
