Radeon R9 Fury X and GeForce GTX 980 Ti perform better overall for about the same price
Lack of HDMI 2.0 support makes the card a tricky fit for gaming on a 4K HDTV
High cost means the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti are better options for the same price if you don't need the small size
Lacks HDMI 2

Not Quite As Fast As A Fury

Very expensive
No HDMI 2.0 support
Coil noise
Average clock speed well below advertised 1000 MHz
Fan doesn't turn off in idle
Complicated overclocking
No backplate
For the same $650
The GTX 980 Ti and R9 Fury X are a bit faster. Coil noise is an issue on our sample and on high the fan isn't particularly quiet either. It is 2015 where is the HDMI 2.0 support?

Abstract: Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9 million...

What does our little experiment tell us - is the Radeon R9 Nano the perfect GPU for everyone? Clearly not. Unless you have a system build or a custom mod that you want to do that requires the small size of the Nano's 6-in PCB, you are better off with anot...
