AMD Radeon R9 Nano

Overview

AMD says the Nano is a sort of co-flagship product with the R9 Fury X and therefore has given the Nano the same pricing. Although AMD is pushing the Nano as a compact graphics card capable of delivering 4K gaming to Mini-ITX systems, if you're the kind of gamer who demands an average of 60fps, then the Nano isn't going to meet this requirement.
