AMD R9 Nano can be used in Crossfire with an R9 Fury X

It has just been revealed by Tweaktown that AMD's R9 Nano GPU can be used in Crossfire with AMD's R9 Fury and Fury X GPUs, an unsurprising feature given the fact that AMD's R9 Nano and Fiji GPUs will be using the same Fiji GPU core.

Right now we do not know what the performance of AMD's R9 Nano is like, but it will no doubt be impressive given this GPUs tiny form factor.

	Fury X	Fury	Nano	R9 290X
GPU	Fiji XT	Fiji	Fiji XT	Hawaii XT
GCN GPU Cores	4096	3584	4096	2816
Render Output Units	64	64	64	64
Texture mapping Units	256	224	256	176
GPU Frequency	1050MHz	1000MHz	up to 1000MHz	1000MHz
Memory	4GB HBM	4GB HBM	4GB HBM	4GB DDR5
Memory interface	4096bit	4096bit	4096-bit	512bit
Memory Frequency	500MHz	500MHz	500MHz	1025MHz
Memory bandwidth	512GB/s	512GB/s	512GB/s	320GB/s
Cooling	Liquid Cooled, 120mm Rad	Non-reference coolers	Air, Single Axial fan	Air, Single Blower Fan
Performance	8.6 TFLOPS	8.6TFLOPS	???	5.6TFLOPS
TDP	275W	-	175W	290W
GFLOPS/Watt	28.7	28.7	Approximately 40	19.4
Launch Price	$649	$549	???	$549

When compared to a R9 290X this GPU will be 16dB quieter, consumes 30% less power, is 40% shorter and a temperatures which are 20 degrees lower. Simply put this is a massive leap for AMD to make in a single generation, let's hope AMD continues to make such strides in the future.

You can join the discussion on the AMD R9 Nano GPU on the OC3D Forums.

OK so finally one good thing about it then.Quote

How come that the Fury and the Fury-X have the same theoretical performance according to the table in the article, despite having more GCN GPU cores and a higher core frequency on the Fury-X?Quote

As the Nano has a much lower TDP it will most likely have a much lower real world maximum clock, I'd much rather just get another Fury X to crossfire with.Quote
