Everyone who saw the R9 Nano price $649

AMD is know there CPU is a power hog lol.

What AMD are claiming is like standing next to a shiny Ferrari without a gastank and claiming it'll do 220mph. Fiji draws 400W at 1GHz and ~8Tflops.

Yea, gosh, what an overpriced product (GPU wars are fun)...For less than a 12GB EVGA Titan-Z from nVidia for $1600, I could have 2x Fury Nanos in Crossfire, that would probably clean its clock while at the same time having almost 2x the on-board memory bandwidth--and of course be able to fit into cases where no Titan-Z dares to tread...;)
Or you could spend $1,000 for one of nVidia's Titan-X's, right? (Perspective is a wonderful thing.) People are funny in their prejudices...my 4.2GHz 8-core AMD cpu TDP's at 95W...but that doesn't stop some people from talking about "how much power" AMD cpus use... Lol...;) (Ah, nothing like the Internet to endlessly promote false/misleading info, is there?)
As to "who might want such product, " well, let's see...what about people who want something as powerful as a Fury in a much smaller form factor, something which also uses a good deal less power...? And the thing is, looking at it another way, you can now buy a FuryX for the same price as a Fury Nano...not bad at all, AMD...!

The price/performance ratio with this one is definitely pretty bad when compared to other ITX cards. If it really end up costing the same as Fury X then it would be over 2x pricier than, say, Gigabyte GTX 970 ITX (when overclocked it's almost as fast as GTX 980).

Off to nvidia then. AMD you are seriously starting to suck, and yes, i am an amd fan.

Vapor chamber cooling? Nice this must be their hand picked chips if they can get that much power with the the stream processors enabled in a small form factor and a good amount less gotage to hit 175w with a single PCIE connector. Seems almost too good to be true.

Supposed to be loads of these ready to go. a great supply.

I don't see why everyone is comparing this to the 980 Ti or Fury (X). This is in a completely different form factor (and yes that counts), its only competition is the GTX 970.
So now you have two different cards to choose from (high-end) for ITX factor: GTX 970 and Fury Nano. GTX 970 will probably offer a far greater bang for the buck (ironically) and better driver support (especially for Steam machines if they ever take off). The Fury Nano will probably be faster though it will cost you a lot more; but you have that option open to you. And O/C is not a valid point in my opinion when it comes to thermally constrained ITX boxes with often not the best power supplies, which somewhat constricts the GTX 970 further in this comparison; unlike the GTX 980 vs. Fury.
I really don't see a problem with the Nano's price. They could've priced it at $800 and I wouldn't see a problem; it doesn't have any competition. Furthermore, these are limited supply binned parts, exotic cooler, etc. When Nvidia's partners launch a 980 or 980 Ti ITX, then we'll talk. Right now you have no other option in this format for this performance level (if it performs as touted).

I suppose that is very true, this is essentially AMD doing what Nvidia do and pricing this at whatever they have to as it's easily the fastest card in it's class, so has no competition.
AMD fans just have to be ok with the fact they will have to behave like Nvidia if they want to survive.
I don't think AMD misled anyone with this either, i don't think they ever suggested this would be a mid-range card, it looks like people saw lower TDP and assumed this meant mid-range card, so if this is $650 they can't blame AMD for it.

Since when did AMD ever care about form factor. They've done nothing but release monstrosity of cards since the 3/4xxxx series.
If form factor is contributing to the cards cost, this makes even less sense. Who are they aim this card at? The 3 blokes in Arizona and their friend steve from canada?
Its not like amd needs the support 🙄.
They could have made this a normal form factor card, sell it for less and made more in sales.
This company is a joke.
