AMD Announces the Radeon R9 Nano Graphics Card

So correcting for the nano having a air cooler instead of a liquid cooler, we come to it being the same or slightly higher price than the regular big fury.

Hrmpf.

That was my point, the price is just slightly under the 'big' fury (I called it that since the card is physically much larger, and the opposite of 'nano') and the price difference is about the price of the difference between the cooling solutions, or in other words it's the same price, one just is larger and has the more expensive liquid cooling. Bit odd that, since you'd expect a cheaper version rather than just a different version.
 
Not sure if techpowerup got one or not, but Pcper has a review sample. Techreport and HardOCP got denied samples.
 
I surprised H and Techreport got denied. If they did, then we likely did... I have been reaching out to my two contacts with no response and its a week away...

When they start to talk about how AMD does performance tests to make their claims not really hard to get why techreport got denied but then again they only spoke the truth. The video starts when at start of their talk about the nano. Skip to 36m20sec mark is when they start talking about "AMD benchmark guide". TR even went so far as to say they "biased" the test in their favor and from looks of the settings, that was what they did.

MSAA will do that, but, it can be done without pretty easily.

I have never played Witcher, so I don't know what happens when your vram is stuffed... but it can get stuffed.

Just to note, The witcher 3 is actually the model more game developers need t follow, because it is actually very light on the VRAM.
