AMD R9 Fury Nano Official Slides leaked

Hopefully AMD's next GPU line won't have so many niche products in it. Cool idea and all but it's just a mITX furyX with a massive power limit.

At this point they need a NEW line of cards which are suitable for all scenarios.
The Fury was bang on to be honest!

apparently its going to be 650 bucks (us) i dont see them shifting meny at that price

They're not going to have many so they can charge what they like. This seems to be echoed in the X/Pro markets too.

AMD needed to find a way to be able to charge stupid money for them and they've found it by ways of using the Cartmanland method.

Not sure if you have ever seen that episode of South Park, but Cartman gets left a few million dollars by his nan, so buys a theme park. He then advertises it on TV with the catch that no one is actually allowed in. This just annoys people and makes them want to come in all the more, so when he does open the gates people don't mind paying a high price to get in.

It's all very psychological, but by having low numbers AMD can get away with charging Nvidia prices. People will either pay it or they won't, but it does assure they get top dollar for their early cards.

Very clever.

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.
 
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?

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
 
Easy Fury mini so you dont have to have a CLC like the Fury X and dont need a long coooler like the Fury.

Still doesnt make sense, however it seemed to make sense to whoever decided it was a good idea.

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...

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

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.

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 am reading about parallelism I wouldn't buy a Nvidia with your money.

It also seems there isn't much Nvidia can do about it so we will see, but for DX12 it seems that right now AMD are bang on it and designed Fury for DX12.

Funny how people are saying that doesn't matter. LOL this isn't Mantle we are talking about here this is pretty much the future of gaming whether we like it or not.

I really can't wait for some proper DX12 benchmarks that make use of what the AMD cards have to offer. It could end up a blood bath.

You can get the Fury X at Overclockers or Scan for £530..seen £510 at some merchants...so at that point, why would you pick an R9 Nano over a Fury X?

Yeah it was a tight fit as by all logic Corsair say it wont fit haha but it has a few mm at the end of the card before it gets to the case and plenty of breathing room Idles at 11% fan and ramps to 30-34% max still cant hear it @52c

90% of ITX cases can not take a GPU. Well, not now they can't.

I was in the market for a nice compact case that could take a full sized GPU lately and you soon realise there aren't many and most of them are enormous (like the Prodigy).

 
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.

But the 980Ti has much more OC headroom than the Fury X...

I've only seen pictures where it's going to be faster than the 970 by 30%

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

https://community.amd.com/community...roducing-the-amd-radeon-r9-nano-graphics-card

Here AMD says nothing about the actual release date...


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

Aye, I spend a lot of time usually in the small hours chatting with the guys from AMD via Twitch, even they say "You ain't seen nothing yet" and "If you think that the Nano and Fury Pro are the end of this, you'll be surprised at whats still to come"

So it would seem they have some room left up their sleeves.
