Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano Graphics Card Review

The last of the synthetic results with 3D Mark Professional. Strong results for the little card, but in last place overall, hold your breath for a driver release to chip away at performance results like this.

Next, Crysis 3 and we would say the little Nano is right in the mix with a strong second place.

There is no difference between the cards for performance and game play. A few spikes from the Fury X and Fury, but nothing you would really notice in the overall gaming experience. Again, with all of our graphs, you can click to remove graphics cards. Re select to add the results back in.

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.
