Those are actually quite impressive numbers, the price however is slightly less impressive.
Tbh, this will give AMD a little foothold though in the gpu market, or atleast I hope so :boozer:

Looks like a great card for a niche market, a really niche market, honestly at least it seems more pragmatic than a Titan X.

It's like really great card with a silly price, niche market sure. Great review.

The performance looks really great, especially at this size, but it's way too expensive.

This card is DOA, not cause of bad performance, cause it has good performance.
Price is too premium and means nothing, 980TI can be picked at that price or even Fury X.
This product is for very small crowd, bad mistake by AMD, they need a product that the mass will want and buy.

Great review Hilbert, thanks for putting it inside a case too! 🙂
Personally I'm positively surprised by it's performance on the bench, but not inside a case. And imho, the case HH used isn't even small enough to make really good use of the card's small features, and there already we see thermal throttling by 15%.
Then again, the price isn't really something to ignore...

Both Fury X and 980 ti can be got for less then this. But I think the idea behind this card isn't to compete against those in price/performance anyway. I still think the really niche crowd is a bad move tho.

MSRP's for the same price -- $650. I don't know about Europe, but on Amazon I can't find a Fury X in stock for under $750.

yeah a little better then 390x/980 performance for fury x/980 ti price makes you kinda worry about what they are thinking but they only made like 20 so no big loss jajaja
nice little card but big bad price
Undying
I still think they shoud've made Nano weaker, cut down from XT and place it in 350-400$ price range. I know that segment is crowded but still it would make such a card so much more appealing.
Denial
Uh you realize they sell the Fury non-X for $100 cheaper right, and those are in stock? Like if the Fury didn't exist, yeah you could make that argument -- but it does, it's cheaper and they obviously yield better.
cowie
maybe to show case hbm fail?(ddr4 anyone?) or how bad its gotten for amd or what? little to gian from this purchase go fury or x oh....and get a new case:)
if it kickes ass and was 55 or so ok but 650?
hell you can get a fury x that does not down clock as much

I don't think AMD expects to be selling a ton of these. They've had a really hard time just keeping up with the stock for the Fury X. Considering how many people moan about price, the Fury was a much better value, but the Fury X still managed to be out of stock. Considering the Nano is basically the same chip, I don't expect them to have a lot of these in stock either. Once they catch up with the demand I'm sure the price will drop. If Nvidia ever sells something that competes with the Nano then I'm sure the price will drop even more.

Fury 540€ cheapest I found, Nano 699€, 980 ti 660€ (blower) and Fury X 660€.

You missed my point, yes titan 1000$ price is dumb, but it will always sell more than any fury at that price, simply cause nvidia has larger crowd, and some good sheeps that like new shiny toys.
AMD lost lot of marketshare to nvidia, they need their own 970, not to release a product that very very selective few people will buy.
Titan will always sell more than Nano.

I really don't get this. Instead of cutting it down from Fiji XT, they made it a full XT chip. Thus they are reducing the available stock for Fury X which is low to begin with.
Then some guy said 'I know! Let's price it at 650$!'. I'm not even sorry for laughing anymore. They are just digging their own grave. AMD wake up!
Can confirm. Average salary in Romania = ~400EUR. 980Ti should reflect our economy but it's not even 650$, it's around 850EUR (950$). Ridiculous.

sadly add 100 to 150 Euro on all those price in here (thank custom and ecological tax).

I want one! This is a great little card! Good performance and power usage, just that price tag :'(
TheDeeGee
The name says it all when it comes to the price.
Nah-no

Great review! Pricing makes a bit more sense now seeing its above 980 in performance. Typo on last page Hilbert: Again, this product is intended for the living room. You dropped the word not.
