Temperatures and Power Draw
Undervolting curiously draws the same amount of Watts at the wall as the overclocked setup, but at a much lower maximum temperature. We'd be tempted to accept a few degrees warmer and overclock it if we're paying the same energy cost.

What an odd GPU. I mean, the design of the NANO Edition is very good, but the BIOS seems a bit odd. Then again, Vega is just an odd architecture so I'm not really sure if PowerColor were just trying to pick the better of two evils. Users can still use Radeon Chill (which is excellent) or MSI Afterburner to hit the numbers they prefer. I wouldn't buy one of these necessarily over a 1070 or 1070Ti for a compact system, but it does seem like a cleverly-designed iteration.Quote
Would be interesting to see how it does under water. ITX cases with small GPUs just makes it 10000x easier to build a loop in. If it's anything like that last nano it's just a few % slower yet at half the power draw.Quote

Even if you knew that or weren't referring to it, I still love saying it. It reminds me not to trust even guys as down to earth as Raja who make bold claims about their gear.Quote
I'm referring to the previous Fiji and fiji nano cards. I want to know if this is the same situation when overclocked. Within few performance difference yet half the power draw when under water(under water that way we don't get thermal throttled)Quote
