Prices need to be lower... it's too close to the 980Ti...

Did anyone install the latest version of Catalyst on Windows 10?

I just upgraded my machine to Windows 10 yesterday...

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desk...s%2010%20-%2064

GTX970? Though bear in mind the 3.5GB VRAM...

I think that more games are utilizing more VRAM, no?

Anyway, there's no 380X, it's either the 380, or the 390.

RM1299 for a reference card if you are going for a 970.

Erm - he's intending to use it on a TV, not on a desktop monitor.

But yeah, try to get a quiet card if possible, preferably a hybrid fan setup akin to ASUS's Strix.

BTW, if he goes red team again, I'd recommend Sapphire over other brands as their cards excel in terms of cooling and build quality.

Looks like there's quite a bit of improvement - in benchmarks at least.

Hopefully this will translate to some gains in real world performance.

How on earth you can convert a mobile GPU to a desktop GPU with Windows 10?

A bit of tip for AMD users:

If you use Chrome, and if you experience that the Omnibox (address bar) is slow to display characters when you type them, disable hardware acceleration in Chrome settings.

Usage and current machine specifications?

...and that's the reason why I always recommend a high quality unit. It's ironic that some people has the money to afford expensive gaming machines but cannot afford a high quality PSU.

That amount of gains though:

I think the problem right now is even if you have an external video card dock or something, you may not getting the best gaming experience due to the fact that the laptop's CPU is going to bottleneck the GPU...

What browser?

If it's Chrome - please disable hardware acceleration.

You may also want to disable hardware acceleration on Flash Player should the Youtube player reverts to the older flash player.

There are several applications that allow you to test for GPU artifacts. Unigine Heaven is one of them.

Well, this will decide whether I will upgrade to this, or otherwise...

Possible, but I'm still awaiting for the pricing...

I guess most people doesn't seem to understand the Nano - it's intended for the mini-ITX/microATX crowd, where space is always a premium. I have a microATX gaming machine, and while it does fit a 980Ti (theoretically) , but it will be a very tight squeeze.
My 7950 does fit into the case, but it is a huge pain whenever I need to take it out for cleaning - I have to remove the HDD cage and the CPU fan from the case before removing the card, which is tedious.

It might not appeal to the HTPC crowd, but for those with tiny cases, this card is a godsend to them.

Don't write off a product just because it does not appeal to you. This is obviously a product that appeals to a very small crowd, and I happen to belong to that crowd.

Of course, the low yields of HBM may contribute to the high pricing - the pricing is likely to fall when there is better yields.

Addendum: If the Nano shares similar specs to the Fury X - then technically we can flash the VBIOS of the Fury X with a VBIOS from a Nano for greater power efficiency?

Also, this is a very niche product, highlighted by some reddit users:

A niche product is not going to be cheap...

Erm - I think you get the wrong note.

The Nano is a halo product - it is never intended for the mainstream market and therefore there is not much competition, which leads to the very high price tag.

Sponsored by AMD, but this should give you an idea on a very small form factor machine that beats most gaming machines in terms of performance and form factors.

Size is about 7.5L (preliminary measurements) and this build attempts to stuff as much power as possible in the most compact form factor possible.

FYI, 7.5L is almost as large as a Xbox One, but this build literally demolishes the Xbox one and the PS4 performance wise.

There are some cases where AIO coolers do not fit in a small case.

Of course, that build should be intended for those who have lots of cash to burn.

I don't know why people associate the Nano as the cheaper card out of the three?

Looks like there is too much speculation - the only way is to wait until official information are out.

I think in your case, the Nano is not for you. My point that states that the Nano is a niche product remains standing.

Any mentions of this?

From what I have seen earlier, the Nano is marketed towards small form factor machines. There's no mention that the Nano is a cheaper alternative.

Well, this is somewhat unexpected:
