AMD Radeon R9 Nano 4 GB

none, you still need 2 gpu to get good frames. which will still lag like fuck on your screen as for that price you're only going to get a cheap 55" 4k screen.

That's what FuryX2 should be good for.

Is there any chances of making a comparison between Fury X and Nano at the same clocks? (mainly about power consumption)

Nice review

Is 36 dB for the noise under load the thing we hear when fan goes to 2050 rpm on video?

I would love it if You could add rpm values to the noise charts pls

that's in the works, but not easy, need to read the sound level noise level (rs232!), and somehow get it added to the sensor readings of gpuz

 

[Cursed]

I may miss something here, and probably do... but isnt it just reading max rpm value from msi afterburner?

No it's reading live real-time data, while recording, from GPU-Z.
Oh, you think this is some kind of Afterburner overlay? It's not

 

[Cursed]

Oh, your talking about the thing we see in video?

Koz I was just thinkin about adding rpm value here: https://tpucdn.com/reviews/Colorful/iGame_GTX_980_Ti/images/fannoise_load.gif

And Im guessing easiest way would be:

- play the game you play for load test with afterburner on
- read max temp and rpm value for charts
- set gpu to the noise reading rig thing
- use afterburner to set rpm back to what it was at load
- read dB value

At least thats how I understand it... if its not, well.. then its not ;p
Not gonna waste more of your time ;]

Barely months after release and they have dropped the price.... to what it should have been all along.

Way to bring up an old thread. And this doesn't even come close to Titan/780.

Hey it's not that old, the news is relevant, and frankly I agree with you... those cards no doubt sold a lot better.

First it's nice that someone still surfing through old articles and write a comment.
Second this move has two points of concern:
A- how much the card costs AMD? More precise how much AMD will lose for every card been sold?
B- is this move is to sell the stock at AMD's partners storage or AMD will make more chips for this price and notice that this card isn't a cut down but the opposite this is a hand picked Fury X full chip.

Look at the timestamp lads before taking a pop at someone. @Fluffmeister made his post before bta's news post so you can hardly blame him for making that post and he was perfectly ok to do so.

Prices stayed high here in Australia till recently. I got a Nano for $687aud ($500usd) from PLE.

Mainly because its good at video rendering - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU15/1231 (wonder how the gtx1080 compares?)

But also because with a 750W EVGA G2 PSU, I can also run two of them.

And it's about at a GTX980 level for gaming - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_Nano_CrossFire/15.html - especially for 4K
which I believe we'll all be heading towards

Am I missing something here? I was really considering buying this card but the point of having a card that cannot output at 1440p or even 4k at acceptable refresh rates is kind of redundant for the cards capability. I mean I am still using a 7970 GHz card & was looking around for a card that can do hdmi 2.0 or higher refresh rates via display port than my current cards 30hz at 1440p and 4k at 30hz but yeah what good is rendering over 60 fps if this r9 nano can't even display or refresh at 60hz. Just a comlpete mute or void situation of owning a new card like the nano and having a 4k monitor or tv that can do hdmi 2.0 at 4k 60hz. Thanks AMD for your half baked product but I would have to pass thanks. This makes peoples look towards Nvidia for a better solution for a few more dollars.

 

[i7Baby]

https://au.msi.com/Graphics-card/R9-Nano-4G.html#hero-specification - Nanos also have 3 x Display Ports each of which will do 4K to 60Hz

 

[xorbe]

Right but my brand new 4k tv doesn't have DP ports. I'm driving it with gtx 960 over hdmi for 60 Hz. Unfortunate if a nice card like the Nano didn't support that, seems counter-productive.

 

[i7Baby]

I wouldn't think a GTX960 would drive 4K at all. Let alone at 60Hz.

You can always run a Display Port to HDMI adapter eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...y_port_to_hdmi_adapter-_-86-944-081-_-Product

 

[Game Happy]

yeah but how effective is this adaptor for display port 1.2 to hdmi 2.0? would I get the 60hz I would desire at 1440p or 4k? I'm just not willing to take the gamble with non certified cables...

It does. HTPC, not gaming.
