Another white version of an ASUS card has been spotted, this time it is the ASUS R9 Nano tagged as white edition. Aside from the white shroud the card might have some custom stuff, albeit we doubt that.
The ASUS R9 Nano white edition follows the reference design in many ways including the fact that is has three display ports and one HDMI 1.4 connector. The reference Nano is clocked at an up-to 1 Ghz core clock frequency, the photos have been spotted by courtesy of ComputerBase.de.
The card remains so small due to the fact that AMD moved towards HBM memory in their entire enthusiast class product stack, the 4 GB of memory is seated onto the actual GPU (chip). This fully enabled Fiji XT GPU has 8.9 Billion transistors and has 4096 shader processors, comes with 4096 MB of graphics memory and sure, why not... it has a 4096-bit wide memory bus.
