That is one small card, and uses 1/2 the power of the 290x, yet it is faster.

Nice HTPC card!

And no, this is NOT a rumor.

Surprising, that they did announce the price for the Fiji XT and Pro, but didn't disclose any pricing for the Nano. May be i missed it...

Won't be released for a couple months, so perhaps they are waiting to see what happens before Pricing it.
 
I bet it will be a slightly cut down Fiji Pro with a little slower memory clock. ~15% faster than 290x.
 
I feel like the Nano will be one of the most interesting products of their entire lineup.


-A little faster than the 290X in 1080P...and thus in direct competition to the GTX 970

-HBM(?) on it and with a full 4GB and faster memory very obviously faster in 4K, bringing 4K to the peasants.>

-Lower(?) tdp than the GTX 970. 290X is supposed to be 250w for the base model...thus 125w for the Nano while the 970 features 145-150 on most models.

-Possibly lower or same price. (My bet is on lower)



To me...this is a LOT more interesting than the Fury or 980 Ti with the pricetags that will hurt a peasant like me way too much.
I feel like we are looking at the possible winner here.



This actually evens out the playing field a lot more.

R9 380X (Is still being kept in the closet for now...but it looks like it's gonna be Tonga XT) as the 960/960 4G competition
R9 390X 8GB if you want that 4K grunt for cheap
R9 Nano as 970 competition -> Plus it's gonna be ITX by default...which is awesome. (And I don't think I have to mention in detail how 4GB > 3.6GB )
R9 Fury as 980 competition (probably more on the pricing side)
R9 Fury X as 980 Ti competition (not sure if worthy.... unless the overclocking actually is as insane as stated)

R9 Fury X2 as...well...no competition, really, unless Nvidia decides on a Titan xDual.


That means the only product they are leaving open is the Titan X...and seriously...I still can't imagine that being a huuuuge market, anyway. R9 Nano feels like it's gonna grab some attention alongside the R9 380X

If Apple could use this on some product so that we could have a working driver for our Hackintosh builds ... that would be great 😛

That is what I think, this would be aimed at people who don't have really deep pockets, and could just be the best announcement from AMD today.

Are you suggesting R9 M395X for Retina iMac? 😉 If it has 150W of TDP it will be extremely easy to turn it a little bit more...
 
Nano looks awesome, but it all comes down to price. I don't see the point of it unless it's well under $500, as the R9 390X is MSRP'ed at $390, and the air cooled Fury at $549 leaves a huge gap. Depending on the memory configuration and amount, I'd say $450 makes sense assuming it's still a 4096-bit / 4 GB memory bus'd GPU.

What's the price for r9 nano? If it's competing against 970 it should be around 350. I'm buying it at that price provided 4k perf. is decent.

390X's MSRP is $429.
 
Errr, maybe I don't understand something but Im pretty sure, that Radeon Fury Nano will be gap filler between 390X and Fury itself.

AMD Radeon R9 Nano brings more performance than a Radeon R9 290X, and at 50% the size and 50% the power, it’s 2X as efficient.

3072 GCN core with 4GB of HBM at 145W TDP?
 
I don't think AMD can afford putting the Nano @ $450.


But then again...the Nano will be released a while after everything else from how they made it sound like....thus there is PLENTY of room for them to first lower the price of the R9 390X after the first month to make room for the Nano.


Since its' performance is likely to beat the 970 above 1080P it can afford being more expensive...since it got 4 full GB of HBM as well, meanwhile the 970 will never have its' problem fixed.

I'd guess the MSRP for the 390X will drop a little after a very short while and then make room for the Nano.


Edit: I also forgot...390X comes with 8Gigs of GDDR5...this could also be a reasoning for price premium....390X and Nano might end up costing the same....it's not 100% unlikely....but this is Lisa Sus' first major GPU lineup release...so we will know her policy after the Nano is out...I guess 😛

I agree, I can see the 390x down to 329$ in a few months, this card could be a 400$ card.
Sounds interesting for us 1080p people but by then the gtx980 could be close to 400$, its down to 469$ now.

One things for sure, its a crowded market full of cards.
