GPU VEGA NANO

[TheHig]

Indeed. The efficiency needs to be better. Same old AMD in that regard. However the fact that I can edge out a gtx 1070 at 1500mhz vs 1900 on pascal is impressive. Vega has some muscle for sure.

It's nice to have an all AMD build going again though!

That is a nice sized pcb. Let's hope someone brings out water blocks for them.

If Vega Nano is a Vega56 castrated, it will loose on the go.
I think MSI Aero ITX 1070 will be the king of SFF for a while (Perfomance/Temperatures/Consumption).

Someone needs to get that card and send it to Alphacool.

would taking the vapor chamber cooler of the frontier edition and slapping it on this one with a fan duct be a somewhat feasible solution?

edit: the vapor chamber cooler from the frontier edition would not work because the power connectors on this card would interfere with the heatsink.

Indeed. However a 3500 cores amd gpu at 1500mhz is doing less than a 2500 cores nvidia gpu at 1900mhz...lol

Nvidia has better efficiency per core...amd has better ipc..

We're still waiting AMD!

I guess you will need to wait for vega 20...
Something went really wrong with vega 10 or/and hbm2 yield.

But I want it nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I just traded my Vega 64 for a Gtx 1080.
I don't think I will venture back to Radeon cards again for some time, unless they suddenly become SFX psu friendly.

Really sad, considering R9 Nano was the queen of SFF graphics card.

If only Nvidia would give us a Titan ITX, that would be the King of SFF GPUs...!

Sadly I recently sold my fury x to fund the Vega. I'd of been happy to keep it if I wasn't lumped with a massive rad, long tubing and a noisy pump.
Really wish they did a reference cooler for it,as it was a reasonably sized card. Good thermals too.
The Vega is a massive card, with lots of wasted real estate on the pcb. Not to mention thermals.

I will stick with my Maxwell titan x and gtx 1080.

R9 nano and asus gtx 970 were previous sff super star...however with pascal sff card, zotac, gigabyte and msi made reall good sff card

The Zotac cards, while shorter than 'standard' cards, are still too long (IMHO); they are not short enough to provide any space saving benefits (no D5 in a NCASE M1 due to space provided by ITX length card, for example)...

MSI has an actual ITX length 1070, ad Gigabyte gives us ITX length 1070 & 1080 cards...

Would love to see EVGA provide some SFF oriented / ITX length graphics cards someday...!

Seriously. No news and the forum thread was deleted even though we got a photo of it. The news article is still available on the main page, but clicking the link goes to an error page.

Was just thinking about it and figured Id look it up and see if any more info was released but it looks like it was squashed from existence.

-- Edit
This post was originally in its own discussion thread but was moved. I had attempted to search this site for "nano" and "vega nano" and nothing showed up. Phuncs was kind enough to move the thread to this thread so I (and others) could find it.

 

[Kwirek]

Just curious - I assume this isn't the thread your talking about?

strange, the thread wasn't showing on search results a while ago o_o now it is

I moved two posts to this topic. My best guess is that RTG's (Radeon Technologies Group) priorities have changed after the launch of Vega. While there was a lot of hype before, they're probably switching gears and the rarity that is the Nano card will be the first to get the boot. Raja Koduri went to Intel and I wouldn't be surprised it was his passion that wanted the Vega Nano to be a thing. So we're dependent on companies like Sapphire to release a custom Vega but I doubt at this point we'll see one anytime soon.

I myself was also hoping for one but got the Zotac GTX 1080 instead, hoping to return to Radeon at the next opportune time.
