This is a rather pointless product. Not only is the combo significantly more expensive than the Fury X, there are probably less than 100 guys out there that have a case that can fit this combo and can't fit a Fury X (and some of them may actually prefer to change the case for less money).
Even if you bite the bullet and get this combo, the Nano is still power constrained and will not perform better than a Fury X anyway.

its more about making it single slot than anything else. won't appeal to the masses, but sure as hell will be popular with the crowd who custom make SFF PC's

that is the point missing so many.

most people looking at this are not the target market.

at this time it baffles me why amd would target such a niche segment but still, for a card so small to pack such a punch is nothing short of a miracle imo.

@dude thanking me, tpu picture, i just linked to it :D

And that is exactly the thing that baffles me, clearly AMD are not really going to make anything out of this cards production, I get the market for it and within those constraints it would appear a really solid high end alternative but for a company who it appears are struggling, possibly to even survive why would they channel energy into a product that will only appeal to 5% of the consumer market, whilst I applaud the concept, I can't help but hold my head in despair regarding the strategy and that is only because I do care.

the only other thing i can think is it is in reaction to something else and the 2 dovetail nicely?

maybe an add on module for laptops or consoles?

yea it is hard to say it is a great move, but still feel we only see half the picture right now you know.

You make an ITX build so it will sit on your desk or under the TV, so what do you don't want to have then? Noise. Pumps, coil whine, small high RPM fans == all NO.

And on the top of everything, the power connector sticks out at the end, making the card longer for no reason since it's water-cooled now....
On the other hand, that's a sexy little block indeed.;)
