Normal
Generally agree with all of this. I compared the Nano to the 1080 because I was recalling the launch MSRP, but you're right that a comparison to the 1070 is more apt.To me, the 4GB of VRAM is the elephant in the room. 4GB is really the bare minimum at the performance level of the Nano today, and that means that games moving forward are going to make it a real bottleneck to performance pretty soon. It doesn't really matter how fast that memory is if you can't even store all the textures you need on it, frankly.I wouldn't go so far to say that it's dead - the 1070 doesn't land for a month, anyways - but the "right" price point for it dropped quite a bit on Friday, that's for sure.
