AMD Radeon R9 Nano Review by TPU...Not

[Sony Xperia S]

I wish they send me a Nano for review ...
I promise I'll say only nice words about them and the card.

Performance graph will rock too ... for sure the Nano will be the fastest thing my PC has ever seen

You know that after doing the review, you need probably to return the card to her respective owners ?

Ha Ha
what happens if they go chapter 11 between sending the card for review and the review being done ( or bankrupt )

you never answered my question fan boy did you get a card to fan-review

OK, the AMD part is so negative that I have to ask if the video was made after learning that you will not get a Nano.

No, it wasnt. It was released on another thread several days ago, so I would imagine zithe recorded at least a week ago.

It was made before, but that's irrelevant. It's a test video.

I'd do YT reviews if it wasn't for my chronic bronchitis getting in the way and my constant coughing and stuff

Calling me "a fan boy" won't get you any answer.

I think that is an unfortunate mistake, it doesn't look like anything mollitious to me but rather an attempt to inject humour, which is a good thing but how it was done IMO was unwise.

They are right that GPU is a re-brand of a re-brand and the potential to make a wisecrack of it is there, with a different kind of thought process about how that would look to someone watching: it comes across as a bit derogatory toward the cards vendor (AMD) already the viewer gets the impression AMD are the but of jokes. that can be devastating for AMD.

The information is valid and should be included, but its no joke and perhaps a coment on whether or not the product is actually any good despite it being a re-brand, does the fact that it is a re-brand really matter? this is information that is important to the viewer.

Sorry, but we can't have your kind of posters on TPU. I gave you a long rope.

AMD is afraid of the truth. Very afraid.

Notice power from these two cards. GTX 970 ITX pictured below is overclocked too

Unfortunately for AMD the truth will come out with or without TPU review anyway. Worst case is that TPU borrow the card from someone within the industry. Everyone knows TPU is well known and respected among everyone.

calling you anything on this subject is a waste of e ink its pointless your so fan boy you put everyone else on the site to shame

The question I have is why did JayztwoCents get one over the other review sites? I like his videos and all, but his GPU reviews are terrible compared to the others, especially TPU. It makes no sense.

Jayz is a system builder with great experience with case building and customization.
He might have cooked up a special rig for the Nano to showcase it. If he haven`t, he is still very good at explaining how it all fits together
Size is mostly the only selling point AMD have of this card, so they try to market it like that.
Too bad GTX 970 ITX is there to ruin the show

Not to digress but, does that mean a permanent vacation?

The kind who gets called a fanboy? man...way to victim blame...

Victim blaming? Clearly you haven't read enough of Sony's posts which speak for themselves.

Why am I not surprised at all by this too ?

Nvidia is so dirty like pigs in the mud.

I keep telling you that this company is not good but how many listen to me ?
The world will become a better place when we get rid of nvidia.

Monopoly of AMD (with good hearts) will be better than monopoly of nvidia (who only look how to screw technological progress).

Dear Intel,

Please start making graphics card again. Something like a 576 EU Gen 9 graphics might be pretty interesting.

WTH?! Clearly you have not seen the constant disruption of this site that Sony has committed on a daily basis. Try searching out their posts for the last 6 months, and then decide if you still want to ask that question.

Intel EUs are very big. I reckon a 576 EU discrete GPU would be about 750 mm2 die area on 14 nm.

Intel EUs are very big. I reckon a 576 EU discrete GPU would be about 750 mm2 die area on 14 nm.

I reckon it will be pretty big too. Perhaps a 432 EU flagship, 288/360 EU mainstream, and 144/216 EU entry level would sort of make sense. Now, will they ever make their re-entry to the consumer discrete graphics market?

Or perhaps something else. Maybe PowerVR?

"You tell us. We're one of the few sites that give you noise testing by some really expensive and broad-ranged noise-testing equipment, and more importantly, card-only power-draw. Our reviews also grill graphics cards through 22 real-world tests across four resolutions, each, and offer price-performance graphs"

And that is why I think TPU's GPU review are the best!

 

[Aquinus]

If it scales linearly. That would be one huge die as well, I can't imagine yields would be very good.

The catism is strong in this thread.

... Whatever that means.

Up to 1GHz core speed... no Boost profile whatsoever. When it barely reaches thermal limits, it'll bog down to even slower speed to "reduce temperature". That is a no go marketing campaign for a vendor that wants to make fast cards... unless the chip is an old one with little or no improvements over the HD7xxx release that's unveiled a few years ago... which it is...

Just checked the preliminary TPU youtube video. As an AMD product user (not that it affects my opinion). i can sense you guys seem to be a bit upset about not getting r9 nano review sample and i can understand that. You guys should have gotten one to review. However, with all my honest feelings that video seems to be an excuse to target AMD for not getting one to review and not in subtle way but in a noticable way.

I have been a long stalker of TPU, but if you are going to use your media power for some weird agenda i highly doubt it will help you in the long run. For example rebranding comes with its own losses that would show up in results graphs no matter what your funny comments are. I dont want to listen a review editor bashing in a way for something that has no addition for a review. They could rebrand ATI 9500 PRO for 2016 lineup. Bash it for low performance, bash it for high P. consumption. Until then it seems to me like "OMG REBRAND LOL". R9 390 is an appealing product for me aswell as GTX970. (I will do my best to not to buy nvidia products just because they should not be confident about fecking customers over and get away with it.)

For rebranding I would rather like to hear possible downsides. Like;

-Still old Tech and not a new silicon which would hurt the user in the long run and might have shortcomings sooner than users could guess.
-They may be rebrands but prices have gone up more than 4GB memory addition so it has lower bang for buck ratio than original brand.

It has been said earlier that the Video test was run before the news about Nano/review.
