The editors liked
Best SFF performance
True innovation
Lots more perf with OC
HBM memory
Looks the business
Great performance
Quiet operation at low loads
HBM is innovative
Extremely low power consumption for performance
Compact size is ideal for small form factor
High
End gaming performance
Efficient for a Fiji GPU
Teeny weeny
Great performance for its size
Arguably preferable to the Fury X
Tiny design – small enough for mini-ITX
Stonking performance at high resolutions
High Bandwidth Memory used
Brings new levels of performance to the SFF graphics card market
Comfortably outperforms other SFF offerings (GTX 970 and R9 380)
Capable of playable 4K performance
Cooling solution keeps the GPU temperatures in line
Cooling solution is not loud enoug
The editors didn't like
Clear coil whine on sample
No overclocking on memory
No HDMI 2.0
Crossfire R9 Nano’s defeats the ideal of small form factor suitability
Neutral
4GB HBM is good for now
But very little future-proofing
“The R9 Nano in Crossfire is an amazing achievement for AMD and a great step in the right direction for the future o
Super
Expensive
Size is less of a mini
ITX issue now
4GB HBM limit
Coil whine
Other cards already accomplish its goal
Can't handle 4K in every game
Ruinously expensive
High-pitched capacitor whine
A little slower than current flagships
Retail price is significantly above its closest performance competitor (the GTX 980)
Cooler design exhausts some air directly into the chassis
Rear components can get hot and there is no backplate

What does our little experiment tell us - is the Radeon R9 Nano the perfect GPU for everyone? Clearly not. Unless you have a system build or a custom mod that you want to do that requires the small size of the Nano's 6-in PCB, you are better off with anot...

Excellent at Full HD and 1440p resolutions, Very low power consumption, Relatively quiet, Fiji chip architecture, Compact design, Simpler air cooling
Not really a 4K GPU, Too expensive for its specs, Cheaper GPUs deliver the same capabilities
The Radeon R9 Nano has a lot of value to offer for gamers who want compact design and high performance at Full HD and 1440p resolutions, but there are also both cheaper non-4K GPUs that deliver nearly the same quality of gameplay for a lower price and tr...
Let's deal with the elephant in the room first. By deciding to go CrossFire, you're essentially defeating the purpose of the Radeon R9 Nano (SFF, ITX builds), and so, the next most appropriate build environment is a compact (cube-shaped/pedestal) micro-A...

Of all of the Fiji-based cards we've looked at so far, I feel like the Radeon R9 Nano is the most interesting of them. It's not the fastest card or the cheapest card, but I like that AMD is trying unconventional things. A product like the R9 Nano will nev...
Extremely compact, Power efficient, Dual BIOS, Support for AMD FreeSync, Supports AMD Virtual Super Resolution and Framerate Target Control
Very expensive, No HDMI 2.0 support, Coil noise, Average clock speed well below advertised 1000 MHz, Fan doesn't turn off in idle, Complicated overclocking, No backplate
The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is available online for $650. Extremely compact Power efficient Dual BIOS Support for AMD FreeSync Supports AMD Virtual Super Resolution and Framerate Target Control Very expensive No HDMI 2.0 support Coil noise Average clock speed...
So there you have it, the Radeon R9 Nano is slightly slower than the Fury which is slightly slower than the Fury X.First let's break down the results from the 16 games that were tested.The Nano was on average 6% slower than the Fury at both 1600p and 4K...
The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is an impressive video card in that you get an astonishing amount of performance with all the flagship GPU features in a six inch form factor. The AMD Radeon R9 Nano won't be winning at price versus performance charts, but we feel t...
Despite the small amount of benchmarks, it looks like AMD deserves some serious props for even creating the Radeon R9 Nano.This pint-sized powerhouse is based on revolutionarily tiny - and fast - high-bandwidth memory to deliver flagship-level performance...
Abstract: And it's easy to explain why: a quick look at the Fiji block diagram illustrates the chip's four shader engines, similar to Hawaii's configuration. Each has its own geometry processor and rasterizer, as well as four render back ends that can process up to...
The Nano is an impressive product, to see something perform so well at a form factor of 15cm is impressive. That said it isn't perfect with the HDMI 2.0 limitation and airflow dependency relative to noise. But if you get airflow under control in a clos...
