The AMD R9 Nano graphics card launched last year, and although it's a great little card, it was a bit pricey. Now, the R9 Nano has become just a bit better, as AMD is cutting its price from $649 down to $499 today, January 11.
The R9 Nano is a 175W card with 4096 stream processors, and 4GB of memory clocked at 512GB/s delivered over a 4096-bit bus. But the main thing to note is that it's just 6-inches long.
According to our review of the card, last year the R9 Nano was definitely the way to go if you were building a powerful small form factor PC. Now that it's cheaper than the full size Fury X ($600), it might be worth considering elsewhere too, and it's a damn good deal compared to the Nvidia GTX 980 Ti.
Nvidia says its surprisingly high $3.3B gaming revenue is expected to drop but 'not to worry' because next year will be fine *wink* RTX 50-series *wink*
AMD rumoured to be ditching future RDNA 5 graphics architecture in favour of 'unified' UDNA tech in a possible effort to bring AI smarts to gaming ASAP
