AMD had two press days over the weekend to cover a whole bunch of announcements- Ryzen Threadripper, RX Vega, Vega Pro and more. They provided details galore on the Vega microarchitecture, and the two RX Vega versions. Well, make that three now. AMD at Capcaicin SIGGRAPH 2017 also announced and showed off the RX Vega Nano.

Raja Koduri, Senior Vice-president of AMD's Radeon Technology Group, came up on stage minutes ago and handed over one of the very few working samples of this new card to Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games and Unreal Engine. The RX Vega Nano is an update to the R9 Nano from 2015 which was based off AMD's "Fiji" microarchitecture and was the then king of efficiency and small form factor support. We were only just talking about how RX Vega missed an opportunity with HBM2 to provide another mITX GPU and looks like AMD agreed.This RX Vega Nano appears to share a common base with the RX Vega 64 Limited Edition in that it sports a silver aluminum shroud, but has a single large axial fan vs the blower fan in the latter. It also appears to have the same single row of I/O- 3x fullsize DisplayPort and 1x HDMI- and the entire card is estimated at ~5-6" in length based on a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation. We are also not sure if the packaging for the card will include what appears to be a sealed hard case with foam inserts, and we will share any new information as and when we get them.

Update: We have a few more images courtesy smallformfactor. net which confirm the I/O ports but also clarifies a single 8-pin PCIe power connector and no backplate (at least on this sample).
