AMD R9 Nano can be used in Crossfire with an R9 Fury X

As the Nano has a much lower TDP it will most likely have a much lower real world maximum clock, I'd much rather just get another Fury X to crossfire with.

Not an option though dude I can't fit another rad in my PC.

Yes you can, Take out one of the front intake fans
There's only one other one and if I remove that the CPU gets no cool air at all. Plus I don't even think a second (well third, there's already one in the back for the CPU) rad would fit.
A Nano on the other hand would just drop in there without disturbing anything.
Pluses? well I would bet my rear end that two Nanos would compete with two Titan X in SLI given that two Fury X are quite far ahead. Crossfire (when it does actually work) scales far better than SLI. So even if the speed of the X drops it would still be beastly.. I have a feeling it would be Fury X2 sort of performance any way.
I have absolutely no doubt at all that some one out there is going to test it for me any way, so there wouldn't be any risk involved

Yeah man for sure
it's 100% happening but not until stock levels rise and the price comes down to £450 or less. That could take some time, but for right now I am more than happy to just plod along with the single card.I'm only playing a tiny bit of GTAV which runs like heaven on the Fury X (easy 45 FPS+) and Dying Light which too runs mid 40s to 60. Only issue I have is I can't use Vsync as Dying Light and the drivers are convinced I have a 30hz monitor. I wouldn't even mind, but it lags down to like 17 FPS then gets stuck there. This doesn't happen with Vsync disabled.
But yeah, all in all? I'm more than happy with the one card, and, I don't want to have to mod my case and bring on loads of stress just to get a second card in there. The Nano is literally a ten second drop in
Mind you when Fallout 4 releases I won't even be touching the PC.

This is my thinking to. Really the Nano in xfire is for m-atx builds are extremely small mini-itx builds the make use of a pci riser, such as the Fractal Node 202 where a tiny card can fit, but not an AIO with it
