A NANO Technology and Specs
Albeit the above slide is a bit of an exaggeration, small from factors are popular these days, and yes the Nano certainly can play an important part in that.
Above some performance examples as delivered and produced by AMD, please do wait for our review for a more precise indication of performance.
And the last slide then, a full overview of the specs for the Radeon R9 Nano. The 175W TDP card seems to be a fully enabled Fiji GPU with 4096 stream processors - 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs. It is interesting to see a fully enabled GPU here. Again te thermal limiters will throttle actively on the core frequency meaning that performance will also differ per system vs chassis cooling and ambient temperatures. AMD Radeon 300 Series Graphics fully support Microsoft DirectX 12, with the following enhancements over earlier products
- Faster Tessellation
- Tiled Resources – Support for massive virtual textures, enabling dynamic loading of tiles into graphics RAM for expansive game world details

The product will get shelf availability in a week or so, at that precise moment we will also be allowed to publish performance reviews. That's it for this small preview. As stated in a week or so we will be able to bring you a full review on this product. As it stands right now, this might be a 649,99 USD card.
On the next and last page some extra photos.
