Actually I'd heavily disagree there. The Nano costs $499 USD and offers similar performance to the GTX 980 at a TDP of 175W.The GTX 1070 will be launched at $380 USD from partners, so even if an ITX version requires more layers or something, it will probably stay below $450 USD. For that, you get higher performance than a Titan X at an unknown TDP somewhere below 180W.The R9 Nano isn't only not competitive at this price point, it is practically dead. If an ITX 1070 is released (which we don't know will happen but seems probable), it will offer much higher performance for less money and less power draw. There would be no reason whatsoever to use the R9 Nano, apart from the power connector in the front maybe.AMD will have to cut the price on the Nano quite significantly to something in the range of 399$, maybe less.I don't particularly like AMDs strategy of rebadging GPUs when a new generation is released, it's just confusing to consumers and doesn't serve any purpose other than artificially bloating their "current-gen" lineup.
