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?

AMD Radeon R9 Nano - Find It At AmazonAMD seems to have hit all the cues it set out to with the Radeon R9 Nano. This card is ridiculously tiny in light of other high-end GPUs, its power consumption characteristics are significantly more manageable than ot...

AMD R9 Nano is a down-clocked Fury X with a lower TDP and air-cooled. All those differences from the big brother make it smaller and oriented towards HTPCs and mini-ITX systems. It's the same Fiji GPU, running 50MH less than X, but if you overclock it to...
Abstract: The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X and Fury video cards got the attention of the gaming community when they were released in June 2015 as the new Fiji GPU and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) was very intriguing to the community. It was tough to find any Fury cards in-s...
We are uncertain, and a bit confused, for the second paper launch when the actual video card launch is only two weeks away. Why not sample cards and let the card speak for itself at launch? Perhaps part of the issue is the fact that this is a video card...

Abstract: When AMD announced its lineup of graphics cards based on the Fiji GPU, the firm said it would eventually be offering two distinctive products in addition to the Radeon R9 Fury and R9 Fury X. One of those cards will be a dual-GPU monster in the vein of the...
Abstract: When the R9 Nano was first launched we determined it was a great little card , albeit one that would only appeal to a very narrow subset of users. It was admittedly geared towards small form factor systems but that also meant it competed against every oth...
I initially had my doubts about the R9 Nano. After AMD’s preview the consensus on our forums and throughout the tech community was that it was far too expensive, didn’t offer enough performance (based on initially vague estimates) and targeted a niche tha...
Compact size, Excellent performance at 2650x1440, Operating temperature and power draw suitable for a compact build, Audible but not too loud - good for a reference cooler
Not Cheap
This is a niche enthusiast product and is absolutely perfect for small form factor builds where space is limited but ultimate performance is desired. Having tested the Nano much more extensively than I'd planned, I really like it and have thoroughly enjoy...
