Today is the day we can show you our review on the all new AMD Radeon R9 NANO. Petite is the main catchphrase for the AMD Radeon R9 Nano that we test today. The product has an incredibly small form factor yet is powered with a Fiji XT chip that brings some significant gaming performance to this graphics card.

Blame amd for pitting the gtx 970 mini vs the nano in promotional slides.

That's not even the best part:

All the promotional slides intentionally used game settings that catered towards Fiji's strengths, which made the gap look significantly more than what it actually is.

Like I said -- the Nano is a good card if you have to absolutely have the smallest ITX case for whatever reason. Other then that I don't see much of a reason to buy one. I can't see many situations where you couldn't find a M-ITX case that's 2 inches larger and just fit a full Fury X.

You don't need 2 inches longer M-ITX case, PCI power plug goes to the front of Nano so it takes ~1.5 inches on top of the actual card length anyway.
