Nano buster incoming
- Thread starter razor1
- Start date
I wonder what the pricing would be. If it's MSRP this looks to be the card I'm getting lol.
no idea, lol,
Pricing I would say $500 ish. small cards always seem to have a price bump.

That small form factor temps me to play with my some CAD and a milling machine... could cool everything with one small block! But not for $500

This thing looks pretty clean. I wonder what the noise will be like with a single fan and temperatures for that matter. Even if you don't have a SFF this might be good just to maximize space and working room within the case.
Well its definitely going to be higher than a regular 1070 lol, and this is a specialty card, so I would expect a hefty price bump.

The card suffers the same issue as the Nano tho, with the dumping of most of the heat in the case.

its a 90mm fan, making it bigger may actually make everything else bigger.

GTX 970 was low price and very noisy so I'd expect this one to be similar.

I can't wait for the custom waterbocks for this. I'm going to go all out on my build.
This, almost verbatim, was my first thought as well. Cool little card though.
The Nano is also shorter in length, along with height... That said, this is still in the same arena on size, by all accounts.
The gigabyte overclock here is only 25mhz... Considering this is going to be the #1 performing SFF card on the market (so likely in high demand), I would have hoped for a bit more on the cooling side. The top of the heatsink looks like it has more room for more fins, and the fan could have been 100mm with the size of the card... Not a huge issue as it is still the #1 SFF card out there, but for a premium card you would hope that cooling is more than a side-thought thats essentially a reversed copy/paste of the 970 cooler.
Insane SFF power at the end of the day. Im interested in how the 14nm Vega refresh of the Nano will compare...
I think that was after rebates, then again, never really looked into those cards till the nano was released so could be off the mark.

I've owned 3 cards in my life, with blower/exhaust style coolers. All enjoyed large temp drops, after I removed the blower and exhaust shroud and just twist tied some 80mm fans onto the heatsink. Drop in noise, too : )
having fans directly on top, blowing down right onto the heatsink, is better for the GPU.
I'd rather have ambient temps go up a little, for my other components. Than have my GPU pegging 80c while gaming.
So nano was shit due to price(even though it was the fastest small form factor card) but now we have an equally expensive nvidia competitor (that didn't appear as small) and we celebrate it? Look i love small form factor but i think it's weird the difference in reception that each card is getting.

Not necessarily. The GTX 970 version of this was among the cheapest custom cards coming right at the $330 MSRP. It also dropped quite a bit (maybe due to over supply relative to demand? didn't have a full production run either. And some QOS issues). It was actually quite cheap for Canadians for some reasons coming in at several sales in the low $300 range and as low as ~$280 when GTX 970 was ~$400+. But this looks a bit higher quality versus that version so who knows. Otherwise if anything BOM is likely cheaper then the other custom boards.(Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Mini ITX Overclocked 4GB GDDR5 PCiE Video Card GV-N970IXOC-4GD (B00OQUMGM0))
GTX 960's I think also were around the base MSRP or a little higher.
Only the Nano really had a large markup in terms price/perf but people should keep in mind that Nano was a full Fiji chip (same as Fury X) in which they wanted to sell at such a high price. Really in terms of BOM it is just Fury X without a water cooler. I'm still of the belief that GTX 980ti acted as a price ceiling for Fury X which caused that issue. Fury X likely was supposed to have been priced higher.
The comparable really would be if they tried to sell power limited GTX 1080s which means it would need to sell at GTX 1080 prices even if that made the performance closer to GTX 1070.
Do we have pricing yet?
well if they price it at 650 bucks I would say damn, it looks cute lol, its a like the cute girl in the corner bar, if she can drink more then me there is a problem lol.

nano was by no means a shit card, it received a gold award from [H], the thing with the price of the nano was that it was priced exactly the same as Fury X and GTX 980TI, performing nowhere near of those cards due being a power constrained card 175W card...
I never called the H into question. They gave it gold and i agreed with it. When you look at the price of this card versus non fe it still seems steep to me.
You know its funny I see all these small cards when most itx cases take like the big cards as well. I wonder why manufacturer feel the need to customize their card to case. Cuz case makers always want to appeal to gamers with sff builds, "hey look you can fit big ass video cards in it too" lol.
I am building a sff gaming rig and got me phantek enthoo mini itx case. Looked at other ones and almost all of them I could gtx the gtx 1070 in. I rather have the nice cooler showing on the with the led lite. Sorry I have a hard on for lit logos inside a case.
same goes for nano its not necessary for itx builds but I am sure there are some people that want tiniest of the tiniest cases lol.
I try to get the biggest case out there *well reasonably big lol cause I like all the goodies in my computer, but I also want space in there for airflow and of course easier to work with.
So I think it might be that some people just want to have a small card for that kinda stuff too.

And some of us enjoy pushing the limit on small form factor. I'm lucky with the ncase but many sffs are limited. So these cards have real appeal.
If by "a little" you mean "a lot" in a SFF case, then yeah, I would agree.
Depends, it really hasn't impacted my build at all. Temps are great across the board.
I got this case after alot of thinking. not too small and not too big and pretty killer price for what you get.
sure will bro!

That is so cool. It looks even smaller than the nano but the dual dvi... doesn't make as much sense.

Looks cool but two cheap, useless-ass DVI-S ports? So you still need an analogue active adaptor to run VGA etc.
And I doubt many people buying zillion dollar cards are running old ass DVI monitors.

Eh i don't really care about adapters. Doesn't make it or break it for me.

Fair call. I just would've loved to see one of those DVIs as a Dp, or worst case HDMI.
Just don't see any point in promulgating ageing standards like DVI on a card in 2016.
