Advices and comments
Summary
AMD started Radeon R9 Nano sales 27 August 2015 at a recommended price of $649. This is GCN 3.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 4 GB of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) memory clocked at 500 GHz are supplied, and together with 4096 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 512 GB / s.
Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 152 mm. 1x 8-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 175 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 23.98 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile.
