AMD Announces Radeon R9 Nano Graphics Card

AMD announced what it termed ‘category-creating’ AMD Radeon™ R9 Nano, the fastest Mini ITX graphics card, to enable 4K gaming in the living room through ultra-quiet, ultra-compact PC designs. First previewed to gamers around the world during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles in June 2015, the AMD Radeon R9 Nano graphics card is based on the graphics chip codenamed “Fiji”, and is the third “Fiji”-based product to launch this summer alongside the AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury and R9 Fury X graphics cards.

With 30 percent more performance and 30 percent lower power than the previous generation AMD Radeon^™ R9 290X card, the 175W AMD Radeon R9 Nano is the world’s most power efficient Mini ITX enthusiast graphics card. The six-inch long, air-cooled board represents a new class of graphics card, enabling gamers, PC modders, and system integrators to build compact, unique, ultra-small form factors that have never before been possible, opening the door to new, sleek PC designs that are no bigger than a home DVR or videogame console, and look every bit in place beside them, the company said in a press release.

The AMD Radeon R9 line of graphics cards offers a spectrum of products ranging in price from $199 – $649 SEP.
