At the launch of the Radeon R9 Fury and Fury X AMD also announced something that caught the interest of many, a small form factor yet high-end graphics card aimed at powerful small game and HTPCs, yes the Nano today is announced

I think the core clock should be up to 1000 mhz in chart on the first page. 100 Mhz kinda slow lol. Also the fact that this doesn't have an HDMI 2.0 connector is kind of stupid, especially considering its essentially being sold as a HTPC card. If the $650 pricing rumor is true, it's garbage. If it's priced at like $450, it will be perfect. Regardless its pretty clear that HBM is going to have a big impact on smaller formfactor systems, which is pretty cool. I can definitely see OEM's putting these in VR boxes when that catches on.

Edit: Hilbert, Anandtech basically confirms the price at $650. Did you hear the same? I don't think this card is worth it at all at $650.

Up to 1000Mhz? Reminds me of the reference 290's 'up to XXX' boost, which it wasn't able to keep at average loads and case setups. Don't forget, smaller setups tend to heat up quicker than big ones, if not done right.

Which brings me to the next point, the cooler exhausts heat into the case too (according to the screenshot), so you need decent case ventilation! That's why you get a smaller card, so you can ramp up your case fans...

One thing I saw also, on two seperate slides, you gotta love them teasing you with not needing the 900D... if I'd have a 900D (which I do have coincidentally) I wouldn't buy a nano anyway, cheaper, equally performing alternatives for the same price are available if you have the space. To me personally, I'd not get a nano if I don't need a nano card.

Somehow I don't trust the nano's claims... small, fast, but not hot, and quiet, and energy saving, on a small pcb? We shall see if this little package works out once HH posts his review (and I do bet he got one of those cards :D)

I am also hearing the same signals on the 650 price bracket, but I cannot see it happening as AMD would not sell these cards at such a price. It might be marketing, send out the word of a 650 USD product, then at launch a say 499 USD sales price would sound cheap or at least reasonable right ?

We'll have the final answer close to release date in a week or so.

$500 is definitely more reasonable. I think if AMD wanted to put a dent in Nvidia sales they'd hit $450, but it would probably be tough to do with a full size Fiji part. That and it would most definitely cannibalize 390x sales. $650 though, is just way too high, especially because the Fury X nearly fits in the same size package. Like why would I buy a Fury Nano when I can buy a Fury X and just get a slightly bigger case?
