apparently its going to be 650 bucks (us) i dont see them shifting meny at that price
True that, but considering it is reported to rival the GTX 980 Ti at £509 it's a nice alternative at near £50 cheaper than team Green.apparently its going to be 650 bucks (us) i dont see them shifting meny at that price

The Nano is going to rival the 980, not the 980Ti
1000 MHz is only the maximum boost, actual gaming clocks will be lower to keep power consumption down
Moreover, the flagship Fury X has shown not to be as good as the 980Ti, sadly; the Nano won't be faster than it
I'm not thrilled about the price, even cute looks need to be reasonably priced.
I've been thinking for the past hour on break who this is supposed to be for. I mean for £510, you can pick up a reference 980Ti or a Fury X.
Figured it out..It's for folk who will have a Mini ITX case and watercooling their CPU and want a Fury X but can't...Niche of the Niche of the Niche.
I honestly can't think of any other type of buyer..Ideas?
Depends actually, From my own testing a 980 Ti and Fury X are a match in most things it's just and this is sad to say but a lot of reviewers are Nvidia centric so they will always bump up the numbers.
I Supposed but I have an Mini ITX Case and got my G1 980 to fit nicely in my 380T so even for a Niche Market its Niche. Though not all Mini ITX cases would be able to, but even still that price is a bit high
^^ This.
I had the chance to test a buddies Fury X against one of my 980tis and they are pretty much on par, the only reason the 980ti was able to even get ahead of the Fury X was because of the Boost. Hopefully the Fury X gets some nice drivers soon. I hope even more that I get my hands on my Fury X's tomorrow!!
TDP war...
All the reports I've read so far put the Nano 30% faster than the 980, so that would rival the Ti. I guess at this stage all we have are road map images and "leaked" numbers, we'll see soon enough as it's due on the 10th of September.The Nano is going to rival the 980, not the 980Ti

It makes sense given the current announced pricing, if not then AMD really need to start praying.
970 £260
980 £390
Nano £509
980Ti £559
Fury X £599
From what I've been reading, It's a damn tight fit to get the Sapphire Fury into a 380T but you can get the Asus STRIX in (6mm shorter lol) unofficially.
I'd love a Fury X but my money ain't gonna stretch to that or a R9 Nano it appears..Fury Pro I could just about stretch to I think

If you consider the bigger OC headroom of maxwell cards ( and the ease of overclocking they have ) is it actually worth to wait for a card that will probably more expensive relative to its performance, with almost no OC headroom and in limited stock? Moreover custom versions of the Nano aren't going to be released until the end of the year, according to some leaks
Don't think I'm a nVidia fanboy, I'm just a relatively conscious consumer. I'm criticizing AMD because I trusted them to bring some serious competition but it looks like they couldn't manage to do it
