AMD Radeon R9 Nano Launch Date Revealed
AMD is expected to launch its super-compact performance-segment graphics card, the Radeon R9 Nano this Thursday, 27th August, 2015. Reviews and market availability could follow a week later. It will be marketed as a halo product, and hence will likely only be available in its reference design. AMD claims that the card will be faster than the Radeon R9 290X, while offering 90% higher performance-per-Watt than it. More importantly, that it will offer 50% higher performance-per-Watt than the Radeon R9 Fury X. "Elmy" from OCN snapped these pics of an R9 Nano installed on a compact gaming desktop, and boy is it tiny!

You are a little bit late in almost the last possible moment.
It's now the day after tomorrow. :P

What is better for AMD is surely the low wattage = low heat output = less cooling requirement. So the size and noise could be awesome for Nano.
* I'm just sick and tired of the constant hypocrisy from both sides.
There are also GTX 970 mini's out there for about £300.
I'm not criticising Nano. I'm highlighting hypocrisy and (in your case) the inability to accept the review conclusions from almost all the other tech sites. But if you know better, I'll leave it at that. Can't convince a hater, can I?
Nvidia explained it them selves
I guess not Those Intel haters.
My point here is that an itx size powerful card was out last year, with low power consumption.
Is Nano better, 99% sure it is. A great little card it will be, no doubts. And to counter folk that say it cannibalises 390 sales, no it won't. The 390 can overclock better than Fiji, so the 390 is probably a better choice for dedicated gaming over Nano.
Likewise, Nano will be the best itx form factor card out there. Probably for a while.
I knew you'd respond to my initial post. I just wish you were more balanced. The majority of gfx posts you make are AMD defending and it doesn't take much for you to attack Nvidia. You have a great deal of intelligence and you waste it with some pretty glib and smug replies. Your Intel hater reply to my post is evident of that. A response without substance to try and make me look dumb. Well, I am pretty dumb with tech. But I'm unbiased at least.
For mATX or mITX, these cards are an effing godsend. I'd love to shrink my PC down to two SSD's, a nano and my i7 in a compact little box.
Nvidia cards tend to be priced way, WAY higher in countries outside the USA vs AMD, so the price/performance balance is WAY off.
and the fury/X cards:
you can see why people outside the USA might think the nano has the best price/performance, since the top end cards are a joke price wise here.
