AMD's R9 Fury nano has been pictured, showing that this powerhouse of a GPU will have a tiny form factor. MITX build maybe?

Why, there is quite big difference in power and aesthetics?

From the look of it this isn't called Fury at all, just R9 Nano. So it could be classed as a 390/X range rather than a Fury.
Time will tell I guess !

I know but I feel it would still offer a substantial boost over one card and get me from my current high settings to ultra and or with hairworks etc
Hmm, you would be better off with CF of the same GPU, a dual Nano or dual 390Xs setup.
Also after testing this weekend that Witcher has no real CF scaling, which is very sad.

That's not what people are saying on OCUK.
I can't fit a second Fury X because I don't have the bracket needed to hold the rad in. Alienware did not include it and I've had no luck on Fleabay etc.
I could fit a Fury but right now there's only the choice of one and I don't like it. It would look stupid with the Fury X. The Nano would be a simple drop in and looks similar in design to the X.
I'm sure some one will try it if you can and post the results.

well i was testing an r9 295x2 over the weekend with the Witcher at 4k and had no real impact on framerates.
Just re-watched AMD conference and you're right.
I think we all just assume its part of the Fury family because of HBM

Its an interesting card for small form factors I think. I hope the performance is there to build a mighty mITX system. How will this fare against say a 980 that I own now and plan on putting in my upcoming transition to mITX system. If you can only have one card, I would get the most powerful one I can afford.
I have a gut feeling inside me that this Nano will be unlocked to a Fury within weeks of launch.

It better not there is absolutely no way on earth that tiny cooler could handle a full fat X.
I would imagine AMD have lazer cut it any way, so unlocking won't even be an option.

The thing is that rumors suggest that it is just an underclocked Fury X, though I imagine that overclocks will be limited due to board power.
Everyone seems to suspect this is a Fury just underclocked so lets assume EK brings out a Waterblock for it, you could potentially do it?...Just a thought.
