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?
Let's deal with the elephant in the room first. By deciding to go CrossFire, you're essentially defeating the purpose of the Radeon R9 Nano (SFF, ITX builds), and so, the next most appropriate build environment is a compact (cube-shaped/pedestal) micro-A...

Of all of the Fiji-based cards we've looked at so far, I feel like the Radeon R9 Nano is the most interesting of them. It's not the fastest card or the cheapest card, but I like that AMD is trying unconventional things. A product like the R9 Nano will nev...

The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is an impressive video card in that you get an astonishing amount of performance with all the flagship GPU features in a six inch form factor. The AMD Radeon R9 Nano won't be winning at price versus performance charts, but we feel t...
Despite the small amount of benchmarks, it looks like AMD deserves some serious props for even creating the Radeon R9 Nano.This pint-sized powerhouse is based on revolutionarily tiny - and fast - high-bandwidth memory to deliver flagship-level performance...
Abstract: And it's easy to explain why: a quick look at the Fiji block diagram illustrates the chip's four shader engines, similar to Hawaii's configuration. Each has its own geometry processor and rasterizer, as well as four render back ends that can process up to...
The Nano is an impressive product, to see something perform so well at a form factor of 15cm is impressive. That said it isn't perfect with the HDMI 2.0 limitation and airflow dependency relative to noise. But if you get airflow under control in a clos...
