@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.
