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
Premium Pricing
Inductor Noise
No HDMI 2.0

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?

The R9 Nano packs an unprecedented amount of rendering power into an absolutely tiny product, and possesses superb build quality. The background 'buzz' on our sample is a concern, but in terms of the overall cooling assembly, it works very well - the Nano...
A product which pushes boundaries… sometimes too far. Not cheap but for certain consumers who want to work around its issues this will be a product which brings new performance levels to small form factor systems...
Best SFF performance, True innovation, Lots more perf with OC, HBM memory, Looks the business
Clear coil whine on sample, No overclocking on memory, No HDMI 2.0
AMD most likely understands that it won't have clear consumer GPU performance leadership in this round of launches, with the GeForce GTX Titan X and partner-clocked GTX 980 Tis holding a reasonable advantage at a 4K resolution.But winning the hearts...
Enthusiasts fond of space-saving gaming PCs have dreamed of a graphics card that runs as fast as a factory-overclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 at Full HD resolution, and even faster at Ultra HD, while being smaller, lighter and even a bit less power hungry...
AMD's R9 Nano is, at first glance, precariously placed in the market with its $649 MSRP that makes it as expensive as both the Radeon R9 Fury X and GeForce GTX 980 Ti, both of which perform considerably better. However, the price-to-performance perspectiv...

Brings new levels of performance to the SFF graphics card market, Comfortably outperforms other SFF offerings (GTX 970 and R9 380), Capable of playable 4K performance, Cooling solution keeps the GPU temperatures in line, Cooling solution is not loud enoug
Retail price is significantly above its closest performance competitor (the GTX 980), Cooler design exhausts some air directly into the chassis, Rear components can get hot and there is no backplate, No native HDMI 2.0
The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is a unique graphics card in many ways. It utilises a flagship GPU but houses it on a board which measures in at six inches long to make it a true mITX graphics card.As far as small form factor graphics cards go, AMD has comfortably...
The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is a godsend piece of hardware for builders of SFF computers, providing performance of high-end graphic cards all in a small package. If you're a SFF enthusiast it's perfect for any kind of build, and even if you're not the R9 Nano...
AMD Radeon R9 Nano retails at RM 3,300 onwards of which I think it's crazy considering that's the price of an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti card that delivers more performance, 50% more than an R9 390X and the GTX 980 cards, and nearly double the price of Nvidia GTX...
Extremely compact size makes it ideal for miniITX builds, Performs better than an R9 290X 8GB, Only needs a single 8pin PCIe power connector, Capable of supporting games in 4K resolution
Limited overclocking headroom
AMD has gotten off to a good start with the Radeon R9 Nano, but it's still a little too early for the company to be celebrating. The HBM memory format is still in its infancy stage of the distribution and development cycle, and with AMD's overclocking res...
Abstract: We're now at that point of limbo in the graphics product cycle where consumers are already looking ahead to the next generation of cards from both red and green camps . There's a lot to be excited about for the upcoming batch of GPUs, and the news pipelin...
