AMD Radeon R9 Nano
AMD says the Nano is a sort of co-flagship product with the R9 Fury X and therefore has given the Nano the same pricing. Although AMD is pushing the Nano as a compact graphics card capable of delivering 4K gaming to Mini-ITX systems, if you're the kind of gamer who demands an average of 60fps, then the Nano isn't going to meet this requirement.

Radeon R9 Nano Review The R9 Nano delivers exceptional efficiency and passable 4K performance in an amazingly compact card that nonetheless seems overpriced.

AMD's latest card is one of its most outlandish and impressive. It's the first time I've seen true high-end power inside a card that's small enough to comfortably fit inside a mini-ITX chassis – and it achieves this without becoming too hot or loud....

It’s not the fastest, nor the cheapest GPU you can buy — but for the amount of Watts you’re spending, the R9 Nano is just about the best there is at turning them into beautiful graphics. (Just wait for prices to settle a bit.)

The AMD Radeon R9 Nano gives us a glimpse of that future today, fully earning its flagship status and hopefully—hopefully—encouraging case manufacturers and the rest of the component ecosystem into further investments in itty-bitty gaming PCs. The Radeon R9 Nano may not make sense for most gamers today, but I’m thankful it exists, and I can’t wait to see the next version.
