GPU VEGA NANO
- Thread starter VisualStim
- Start date
It will obviously be a cut down version of the Vega chip. Lower clocks, etc. Otherwise they will never meet a 150W TDP. From what I've seen so far, Vega's architecture (and possibly manufacturing process) seems like a fail when it comes to performance/power consumption scaling. It seems AMD reached the exponential increase on this curve way too early. 14nm, new achitecure, and new record in power consumption. Hm.
However, big thanks to AMD for doing another Nano card. Nvidia doesn't seem to want to use HBM memory at all.

For good reason I think. Yields for HBM2 are lower than what's already established the last I read, and I'd guess Nvidia didn't want to cripple stock numbers for consumer cards with something that's hard to come by.
Perhaps the GDDR5x and GDDR6 memory makers (Micron) don't want to let go, as well. Let's just hope HBM becomes mainstream and cheap from now on.
And let's hope the competition
Power draw as usual is right up there on the big full-size cards, so yeah I too wonder what cuts will be made for the Nano. Regardless, I look forward to some actual specs & nVidia comparisons in due course.
This just in...
@3lfk1ng you gotta get a photo app on your phone that does watermarking ._.
EDIT: BTW the same guy is teasing/rumour-ing(?) an ASUS Vega x2 card. Not sure how to feel on this; I'm already wondering if anyone would do a heatpipe cooler for the Nano V

All i'm worried about at this point is nvidia volta coming along and putting our long awaited vega to shame.
As the generation they are competing against is almost at an end.

I hope that this time the nano will not make a disgusting coil noise sound.
I like how it has that death star corridor design over the IO.
MRW Vega Nano confirmed
I wonder if we could persuade them to have a second connector on there and some kind of switch so that it only uses 150W for users with smaller PSUs, but can go up to maximum overdrive for users with beefier PSUs
I wonder if it'll be less than 250mm long

please be 2 nano's sandwiched together with a water block in between.
oh nuts I wasn't clear: by "the same guy" I mean the guy who lifted the photo for his tweet without attribution
I really like AMD's jobs recently, so I built my system on Ryzen cpu. However, to dethrone Nvidia, AMD needs to study more I think, especially about our sff systems because although Vega cards seem promising, their power usages are so high compared to Nvidia Pascal gpus. For now, I'm happy and cool with Ryzen cpu and Nvidia gpu.
Really looking forward to this. I told my coworker the possible MSRP and their face was the best cringe!
If i had to guess, I'd say it will likely be around a 1070 in performance, so also around 1070 price. $399 USD.
From my understanding, they are going to bin all the really good GPU's to use in the nano, and thats how they are going to hit the lower TDP. So i bet its the same performance as the RX Vega 56.

I want a waterblock and singleslot slot cover for this.
It looks incredibly short, for me they could have made it the same length of a ITX board.

It's supposedly 150mm long, which is 20mm shorter than ITX.
