Already in June, while AMD Conference, which was officially presented the new graphics card from the family of Radeon Fury, Nano aroused great interest. Not surprising, after construction, ample room in his hand was a big surprise. If a big brother (Fury и Fury X) we heard earlier about the Nano, even on the sidelines, few people knew. Or could a small AMD Radeon R9 Nano win our hearts? You will learn more by reading our review.
To begin, we must, but, Mark, today we bring you a test Radeon Nano as a normal graphics card, according to our standard procedure,. And note, that this design is not intended for computers in a classic case midi or big tower, but, mainly, for Mini-PCs (Mini-ITX). the last test, equipped with a graphics card AMD Radeon R9 Nano we will introduce in the near future.
presentations presentations, but holding the latest AMD graphics card is difficult to not be impressed by its size. Especially when you consider, I'm in it full core Fiji. It's hard to have too any objections regarding the quality of execution, here we are dealing with design premium.

Data sheet
As we have said Nano was equipped with a full core Fiji. so, in the US On Board 4096 stream processors, 256 texture units and 64 RIP.
Besides, It is on the map 4 GB HBM. essentially, the only difference in respect of Fury-X are dynamic core clock frequency, which can reach a maximum 1000 MHz. Under prolonged load it, but, value is slightly lower. This allowed to reduce the ratio to TDP 175 B and refuse to water cooling in favor of the traditional solutions. Below is the full specification.

Mini-PC
Nano, as previously mentioned, We focus on market Mini-PC. At AMD, assuming this is another video card for desktop computers. The whole is designed, to offer high performance while maintaining a small size and a reasonable TDP. And I must admit, it failed.
So far in this segment of the user, in principle, had no choice, especially if we are talking about more effective solutions. If we take into account the size of the target market and said Nano has only 1 rival GTX 970 mini.
although materials, supplied by AMD, says, the Nano is suitable for playing in 4Q, we recognize a few exaggerated, especially when you consider the high setting in demanding games (such as The Witcher 3 to play in 4K, and maximum settings 60 fps requires two GTX 980 Ti), it does not change the fact, that the map will play at high detail settings charts in almost all of the currently available games.
