I feel like the Nano will be one of the most interesting products of their entire lineup.
-A little faster than the 290X in 1080P...and thus in direct competition to the GTX 970
-HBM(?) on it and with a full 4GB and faster memory very obviously faster in 4K, bringing 4K to the peasants.>
-Lower(?) tdp than the GTX 970. 290X is supposed to be 250w for the base model...thus 125w for the Nano while the 970 features 145-150 on most models.
-Possibly lower or same price. (My bet is on lower)
To me...this is a LOT more interesting than the Fury or 980 Ti with the pricetags that will hurt a peasant like me way too much.
I feel like we are looking at the possible winner here.
This actually evens out the playing field a lot more.
R9 380X (Is still being kept in the closet for now...but it looks like it's gonna be Tonga XT) as the 960/960 4G competition
R9 390X 8GB if you want that 4K grunt for cheap
R9 Nano as 970 competition -> Plus it's gonna be ITX by default...which is awesome. (And I don't think I have to mention in detail how 4GB > 3.6GB )
R9 Fury as 980 competition (probably more on the pricing side)
R9 Fury X as 980 Ti competition (not sure if worthy.... unless the overclocking actually is as insane as stated)
R9 Fury X2 as...well...no competition, really, unless Nvidia decides on a Titan xDual.
That means the only product they are leaving open is the Titan X...and seriously...I still can't imagine that being a huuuuge market, anyway. R9 Nano feels like it's gonna grab some attention alongside the R9 380X
