Sapphire is now shipping the AMD R9 Nano

Sapphire has announced that it has begun shipping the Radeon R9 Nano, AMD's latest graphics card that packs the full power of a Fury chip on to a tiny 6-inch PCB, featuring High-Bandwith Memory (HBM) along with support for DirectX 12, which is starting to be implemented in to games on the PC.

Judging by our review, there is no doubt that the Nano takes the performance crown for its size class. The Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano typically runs at 175 watts under gaming load, making it extremely power efficient. The card itself is cooled by a single fan, which keeps the chip at around 75 degrees Celsius under load.

Obviously the other big selling point for AMD is DirectX 12 support, as we head in to next year support for the new API will become increasingly important and should provide a notable performance boost in systems that properly support it. All of the usual AMD technologies are also supported, including Eyefinity, CrossFire, FreeSync, VSR and Liquid VR.

The Sapphire R9 Nano can be found on Overclockers UK for £529.99 and is readily available, so you won't have to wait long if you decide to pull the trigger on one.

  1. Seeing as £500 is a lot of money to me I’m just holding off until the next gen GPU’s next year, I don’t really think buying these ‘nearly 4k’ cards now is worth while.

  2. if these cant do 4k at 60fps+ with all settings on Ultra and not on high then ya it aint 4k ready. I could put my GTX660ti on low graphics settings and hit 30fps in 4k as well. Doesn’t mean its 4k ready rofl.

  3. Yeesh, Sapphire ruined the look with that giant red spot in the middle. They’ve been really dropping the ball lately when it comes to looks. Their Nitro line looks very tepid too. What happened, did the guy who designed the Vapor X series leave?

  4. You can just peel off the red spot if you really don’t like it. It’s a sticker for crying out loud. Then the card will be entirely black except for the satanically-red ‘Radeon’ logo.
