Review: AMD Radeon R9 NANO
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.

Looks like a great card for a niche market, a really niche market, honestly at least it seems more pragmatic than a Titan X.

The performance looks really great, especially at this size, but it's way too expensive.

I was thinking all along this is a great little card, impressive. Then I saw the price. This is on par if not more expensive than the 980ti over here in the UK. No way.

Oh a great performer but like everyone else on here, I agree it's going to be expensive. Especially down under, us Aussies are going to pay more!!!

Thanks Hilbert,Great review.
Now we have to wait DX12 games and the battle for truth between Maxwell 2 and Fiji/Hawaii chips.
On water colling system will be a mini monster.

not really, pricing in Australia reflects your economy and your salaries pretty well, it's certain parts of EU that normally get the shaft. Think 2 months salary to buy this and you'll get the idea.

This card is DOA, not cause of bad performance, cause it has good performance.
Price is too premium and means nothing, 980TI can be picked at that price or even Fury X.
This product is for very small crowd, bad mistake by AMD, they need a product that the mass will want and buy.

Great review Hilbert, thanks for putting it inside a case too!
Personally I'm positively surprised by it's performance on the bench, but not inside a case. And imho, the case HH used isn't even small enough to make really good use of the card's small features, and there already we see thermal throttling by 15%.
Then again, the price isn't really something to ignore...

All Titans and all all dual-gpu cards ever were DOA too.
They still sold enough apparently. I think you had mistaken this card to be FOR YOU.
Id say a Nano is more "worth it" than a Titan even. If the performance per cm^3 is valued.

Both Fury X and 980 ti can be got for less then this. But I think the idea behind this card isn't to compete against those in price/performance anyway. I still think the really niche crowd is a bad move tho.

I'm so glad the NDA is up because this has been bugging me - why wasn't the Fiji Pro GPU used on this card instead of the full blown XT?
The XT already has low yields and using it on this card takes away GPUs needed for Fury X production.
Given the low power and heat constraints surely it would have made more sense to use the Pro from the outset, especially as imposing these design limitations on the XT GPU results in Pro performance anyway.
This would have cut production costs and made the price more competitive, no?
And as Hilbert mentions in the review, a 4k gaming card which would be perfect for HTPCs but no HDMI 2.0 - seems a little odd.

I couldn't find the price on my fone, it's higher than the 980ti and fury x?

Those are actually quite impressive numbers, the price however is slightly less impressive.
Tbh, this will give AMD a little foothold though in the gpu market, or atleast I hope so
