I'm also interested with Nvidia, but besides the recent launch of the 950, there's not much to say. Besides, this is and AMD thread, so it would be out of place.

But if you're after a media/gaming center card, I'm not sure the Fury Nano is your card for a single but important reason: it lacks HDMI 2.0. Of course that's not a problem with FullHD TVs, but if your plan it to have that card for several years and get a 4K TV, then maybe you'd be better with one the small 960 or 970 cards that do have HDMI 2.0.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that part, to be honest. The Fury X with the same 4096SP and 4GB, runs at 1,000MHz but has a 275W TDP and 2x8pin powr connectors.

I'd say that something closer to 700MHz or lower seems more reasonable.

That is a dealbreaker. I don't understand....

@Protendo: AMD is firmly determined to support DisplayPort. That's why.

And they have focused on the enthusiast PC users whose 4K monitors, all of them, have DP1.2 but not always have HDMI 2.0. And that group is also the one that's more likely to upgrade with the next batch of cards as the yare always looking for more power.

Anyway, the R9 Nano has been launched... kind of. Today is a paper launch, with hardware not hitting stores until the 10th of September.

The specs are the ones that leaked a few days ago:

And it has a suggested retail price of $650.

Ouch!

Things to note:

• The GPU isn’t necessarily working at 1000 MHz all the time, the core clock can be optimized based on the needs of applications and games. The card may run up to 1000 MHz but in gaming, it would usually be operating at 900 MHz.
• The card will be operating at 75C at typical load and throttle down when the GPU temps hit 85C which is the thermal threshold for the card.
• Custom cards from 3rd parties will arrive 3 months after its launch.

(funny how Fury X is now an "early 2015" product)

Remember that these are AMD tests. The same that made Fury X look on par with the 980Ti. Take them with a pinch of salt.

But that's not the only AMD related news today:

TSMC obtains orders from AMD and Nvidia for 16nm FinFET chips

(source: Kitguru / Digitimes)

"Advanced Micro Devices plans to use both 14nm FinFET and 16nm FinFET process technologies for its products due next year. It is believed that the company will order 14nm microprocessors from GlobalFoundries" (for its Zen processors), "whereas TSMC will concentrate on manufacturing of next-generation AMD Radeon graphics processing units code-named “Greenland” and other using 16nm FinFET process."

Also, there are some rumors suggesting that, because TSMC has lost Qualcom (who has gone with Samsung) and some orders from Apple (who has split their orders between them and Samsung), there's a chance that Nvidia and AMD will be able to get their chips manufactured before that what they had planned, so the launch of the new cards could be a little sooner.

*already posted*

Rumoured price launch price is $650 >_>

The launch date for Nano is coming, only three more days, but there will be few reviews available at launch. AMD isn't giving many cards to reviewers.

Meanwhile, Gigabyte already has its page updated:

TweakTown is one of the sites that have a R9 Nano to review, and they are reporting that GPU-z identifies the Nano as a Fury card series. Because of that, they tried to crossfire it with both the Fury and Fury X cards.

The result? It works.

Best time for upgrade for me it seems what you think guys ?

The nano looks sexy :->

It really depends on your budget... as always.

Get ready to see some amazing custom cases the next days, as AMD provided cards to modders (but not reviewers...) to make custom cases to show how small they can be.
