Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano Graphics Card Review

Admin Video Cards 2692

We have all seen the pictures by now, but nothing prepares you for the smallness of this card. If you are accustomed to GTX 970 or an R9 290X then this will surprise you.

We are seeing water blocks for this little chap already and if the specification are anything to go by, small is truly beautiful. If you can see, there is a tiny dual BIOS switch in case you have a BIOS issue.

It is shorter than the Fury X as we will see later, but it is worth mentioning now.

Three Display Ports and one HDMI, and not supporting HDMI 2.0, 4K will only be comfortable on Display Port connections, make sure you have one! Only one eight pin power connector as well, it just keeps getting better!

The performance monitoring and throttling could be a concern if you have a small chassis without good ventilation. This is designed for at least a small chassis, but make sure it has good ventilation or at lease a clear airflow path. For Hardwareslave at least, it’s king of the hill.
