- The AMD Radeon R9 Nano, six inches of unrivalled FURY… 4K gaming? yup. VR? Yup, and elite level gaming performance you can cram in a Mini-ITX case? ooh yeah. but does it deliver? LET’S FIND OUT
“AMD reinvents the small-form-factor PC with its third “Fiji”-based GPU featuring High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and next-generation DirectX 12 gaming“
www.amd.com/en-...
This is becoming a legitimate PC tech channel now.
...Not that I have a problem with that.
It released today. Today is my birthday. Its a sign.
I had the same feeling. A small form factor high performance per watt card! Lovely!
I'm not sure if you script these videos or come up with phrasing beforehand, but multiple times in this video I either chuckled or was just left impressed with how eloquently you deliver the whole thing. Just wanted to let you know it doesn't go unappreciated.
love these new videos around PC gaming Blunty :D keep em coming! great work! :D
I miss the days where people tried to make compact, flagship GPU’s.
Great review, thank you for taking the time. This might very well become an entirely new product segment, matching the popularity of mini-ITX rigs, if it takes of commercially I'd guess Nvidia is highly unprepared at the moment.
One thing that would improve these kind of reviews would be a slight update on the games tested though. Don't get me wrong, things like the TressFX in Tomb Raider are still rather heavy on the cards but a test in a more recent benchmark standard (at the moment The Witcher 3) might be useful as a reference for the cards limits.
Finally, a Nano review. This must be one of the first ones out.
Even i thought that card looked really nice in your gaming rig :) It's Really sleek.
I can't say i've ever actually experienced coil whine with my gaming rig though (despite my rig being just over 6 years old now). I think its great that GPUs are getting much more compact and have as much ferocity packed into them as standard sized GPUs. Glad you're getting on well with your awesome build though.
great review. I just won One of these cards and I wasn't sure if I was selling it or if I was keeping it. After this review it's a keeper.
Loving the pc stuff blunty, keep it up
I can't wait for you monitor review 😍😍
Working at my $10 an hour job to try and save for a future build I'm doing but I doubt this is going to make it. It can't be cheap can it? I'll just have to dream for now I think...
If you only get coil whine at super high frame rates, there is a setting in Catalyst Control Centre that lets you limit frame rates (not v-sync) so if you limit it to a little above your monitors max refresh rate then not only should that calm the coil whine it will reduce the load on the card and keep it cooler which will keep the fan quieter too. Just a thought, it doesn't forgive coil whine, but it does make it almost a moot point. I just got a 390X (G1 with the Windforce cooler) and really enjoy the thought that I don't have so much energy going to waste and generating heat for extra frames I won't see. (thought I do still enjoy seeing how high the numbers go in some games when I'm actually playing them I'd rather not generate all that extra heat)

Or just download RadeonPro and you'll have quiet few more options to play with... Like, Dynamic V-Sync, Double V-Sync, forced high priority, overclocking profiles for each game, simultaneous SMAA & FXAA, SweetFX, change FlipQueueSize, on-screen displays like temps, load, vram usage, fan speeds, etc...
+z1mt0n1x all that OSD stuff is already baked into MSI Afterburner, but better still afterburner can display on a keyboard with a built in LCD (Like a G15 or G19) so you don't have crap cluttering up your screen and killing the immersion. But why would I go to the effort of having ANOTHER thing running in the background using more resources when it's all in Catalyst Control Centre, it's there already, limit the frame rate to say 10% above your screen's native refresh rate and that should stop the coil whine. Don't need all that other stuff.
PAPO1990
Well, doesn't hurt to try... It's free.
And I find Dynamic V-Sync working better than Frame Limiter in CCC anyway.
Try looking at it as an all-in-one solution.
Oh well, once again, download RadeonPro and turn on Dynamic V-Sync, set it to your desired range and boom, high-framerate coilwhine gone :)
That card belongs in that rig
Blunty I'm loving these video card reviews. In my main rig I'm rocking two EVGA FTW 970's, but I'm looking for a GPU to fit in my "Steam Machine" for my living room. I don't need an absolute beast, but I'm leaning toward a 960 to pair with an i3, have any thoughts?
Blunty, Would locking the frame rate at the refresh rate of your monitor stop the coil whine??
+John Smith I want to know that too, I'm thinking about getting the nano.
I do know that on the graphics card I have at the moment (Sapphire 270x) I only get coil whine when I turn vsync off and get a very high frame rate... like 200-300+ fps. Turning on vsync and it's not there at all.
The next small rig I put together this baby is going in. What CPU would you match for this card, AMD APU , FX or Intel ? Intel cost a lot more but some games work better because of how some games use cores I have read.
+Stephen meme Personally I'd stay away from AMD cpu/apu's until they release Zen. The performance difference is quite significant now, An Intel i5 gives a good balance between cost and performance.
Hey buddy,, the Zen,s look good. I already have FX 9590 It does all I want. As for an i5 I would still go for the A10 7850 or above over the i5. I have built 3 A10s and they play any game even better then some of the FX, i5 and i7 in some games. For around $200 it's awesome. I also should add Motherboard and RAM can make it or slow it like all CPUs. :)
+Stephen meme Ram speed plays a big part in an APU's gaming performance which makes me wonder whether the Zen APU range with the fastest DDR4 will be the first real 1080p capable chip without adding a card to it, Interesting times ahead.
4k would be nice.. have a good day Nasha.
+Stephen meme U2 sir.
I want this card I've just built my first PC on a M5A78L-M 3.0 and have a EVGA GTX 650 sc
actually considering an AMD card
Blunty you could always build a streaming box for the living room with it. loved the vid that is a sexy little card. :)
Do you think the nano can be put into my stock computer (HP Pavilion 500 PC series), because i've been meaning to get a graphics card for the longest time
looks a very nice and effective , video card :)
Except for the streaming features Nvidia provides and G Sync, I don't think there is any reason to look over this beast. Honestly I was amazed that it was as advertised. I would have serious testicle deciding between this and an Nvidia card just because I want the coop gaming feature that is supposed to come out soon
+Gerhard Plesch AMD has Free Sync though. And streaming feature? On the Nvidia Shield?
From what I read Free Sync is not G Sync and can't match it's abilities. I meant the features coming, one of which is the ability for someone else in the world to take second controller as if they are playing next to you. If it works as advertised, it would be a feature I would love to take advantage of
+jpnmusic2 He's talking about this new streaming stuff; ruclips.net/video/y954k4S9hNM/видео.html
+Blunty Thank you blunty. That is exactly what I meant. God I hope it does as advertised. It may push me towards an Nvidia card next time I upgrade.
Oh. Too many stuff coming out recently so I couldn't really keep up. Oh well. Now I know I guess.
My only question is where can I buy one?
can you prevent coil whine by just capping your fps?
+projectrallus yes.
+projectrallus Download RadeonPro and turn on Dynamic V-Sync :)
It uses V-Sync when hitting your desired FPS (51fps is you so desire) and turns off when going below. It also has a built-in recording program with compression profiles and an FPS benchmark counter like Fraps but a fair bit more advanced.
You can adjust level of details in games, add/remove/edit SweetFX profiles or make your own profile, and also add SMAA and FXAA into any game (even games that doesn't support it natively).
And, as a neat feature, you can make overclocking profiles that automatically kicks in when you launch the games from the list that you've added in RadeonPro yourself :)
How awesome is that? I find it very disturbing that this program is very unknown among AMD users themselves, it works with Nvidia cards too (well, at least SweetFX does). Instead, Nvidia users have something called Nvidia-Inspector.
In my opinion, 1440p with SMAA (ultra) looks almost as sharp as 4k, except it doesn't draw as much resources as 4k itself.
+z1mt0n1x I'll have to look into nvidia inspector
***** Aight, I hope you'll find some interesting features, feel free to reply with your thoughts, cuz I don't know much about Nvidia Inspector myself :)
+Blunty so using vsync to cap the frame rate to 60fps will make the coil whine completely go away? I'm thinking about getting the fury nano
-thanks
"Midget rig" had me laughing :)
So i don't think it's a problem if i have a big case and i bought this card....? Is it ? Btw, really nice review, u made me buy this card !
coil whine gos away after a while as well
blunty will you keep the nano in your rig or do you have to return it, i know this doesn't have any relevance to the video but am just curious.
+SUPER.STEEL.TITAN It was only a loaner. I had to send it back.
+Blunty I bet you are sad. Sounds like you fell in love
love it
Would probably fit a bit better in my Fractal Design Node 304 case than my MSI R9 390 does, which is a Bee's dick too thick for the case... However, I like the R9 390 :)
What game is that?
is that radeon logo led?
+eddibonoit Nope.
+Blunty For the price it should have. But not a deal breaker. Awesome review.
does it do eyefinity?
+Rizach Yes, up to 6 displays.
It's a full Fiji chip so whatever works with Fury-X works in the Nano.
This in a notebook :P
Hope you don't have to sent it back XD
+Sadaki sadly, it already went back. I MISS IT ALREADY!!!
+Blunty i5 even at a furious acceleration its not exporting.at least 4790k overclocking needed.stream.peripatetica on 4790k-the results will be different.
+Blunty Have you kept any of your review samples?
+JCHGaming69 Not of the AMD cards, no. They always want them back.
Is this a paid review? I remind you -you are under g33k oath :P
+Damien O'Brien You must be new here... I don't roll like that.
Damien O'Brien Get the Fury X... no point getting the Nano unless you need it because the big-boy won't fit in your rig. They're priced pretty much the same, and the X will outperform it as it's clocked higher.
Blunty You ?Sir. have done me a great favor with that reply. Enjoy your weekend (friday here)
+Blunty Looking at these cards my self atm. Despite me having a big case it looks the the Nano may be the better option than the Fury as based on current UK prices it's at least £50 cheaper than it's big brother.
