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
Exceptionally powerful for a 6-inch, air-cooled card, Easily outperforms any similarly sized Nvidia card currently available
Radeon R9 Fury X and GeForce GTX 980 Ti perform better overall for about the same price, Lack of HDMI 2.0 support makes the card a tricky fit for gaming on a 4K HDTV
The R9 Nano is stunningly powerful given its Mini-ITX-friendly form factor, and a true leap ahead for AMD. Just know that this is a specialized component meant for very tight, compact PCs, and that you're paying a major premium for that fact. Read More…...

Good Performance, Tiny Form Factor, Cool and Quiet, Power Efficient (Relatively Speaking)
Not Quite As Fast As A Fury, Premium Pricing, Inductor Noise, No HDMI 2.0
AMD Radeon R9 Nano - Find It At AmazonAMD seems to have hit all the cues it set out to with the Radeon R9 Nano. This card is ridiculously tiny in light of other high-end GPUs, its power consumption characteristics are significantly more manageable than ot...

Measuring a mere 6" long, the R9 Nano brings 4K gaming performance to cases where the Fury X can't fit and it exceeds the GTX 980 Ti in efficiency.
For the same $650, the GTX 980 Ti and R9 Fury X are a bit faster. Coil noise is an issue on our sample and on high the fan isn't particularly quiet either. It is 2015 where is the HDMI 2.0 support?

AMD R9 Nano is a down-clocked Fury X with a lower TDP and air-cooled. All those differences from the big brother make it smaller and oriented towards HTPCs and mini-ITX systems. It's the same Fiji GPU, running 50MH less than X, but if you overclock it to...
Abstract: The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X and Fury video cards got the attention of the gaming community when they were released in June 2015 as the new Fiji GPU and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) was very intriguing to the community. It was tough to find any Fury cards in-s...
We are uncertain, and a bit confused, for the second paper launch when the actual video card launch is only two weeks away. Why not sample cards and let the card speak for itself at launch? Perhaps part of the issue is the fact that this is a video card...

Abstract: When AMD announced its lineup of graphics cards based on the Fiji GPU, the firm said it would eventually be offering two distinctive products in addition to the Radeon R9 Fury and R9 Fury X. One of those cards will be a dual-GPU monster in the vein of the...
Abstract: When the R9 Nano was first launched we determined it was a great little card , albeit one that would only appeal to a very narrow subset of users. It was admittedly geared towards small form factor systems but that also meant it competed against every oth...
