That’s quite an achievement.ĪMD has jumped through several hoops in order to build this card. TrustedReviews Awards 2015: Winners announcedĪMD has made the Nano only 6in long – about the length of its PCI-Express x16 slot – and crammed inside the Fiji core that powered the water-cooled, range-topping Fury X. In the world of PCs, mini-ITX and micro-ATX systems are becoming more popular options for high-end rigs. In the graphics sphere, it’s given companies such as AMD the opportunity to experiment with smaller and more innovative designs, since there’s less need for flagship cards to feature huge heatsinks and a multitude of fans. Such trends have had a significant impact on graphics cards and the wider PC market. So while this has led to improved performance, power consumption and heat output levels have plateaued, or begun to decline. Over the past few years, graphics cores and other components have seen an boost in efficiency. It seems an odd move, but when you consider what’s currently going on in the PC market, it makes sense. The Fury Nano is AMD’s first attempt at placing such a powerful core inside a tiny package. SEE ALSO: The 10 Best 4K and Gaming Monitors I’m intrigued to see how the Fury Nano stacks up against traditional high-end cards, and if it can possibly be worth its £600 price.
However, the Nano’s tiny size doesn’t mean it’s underpowered – it uses the same core as the monster AMD Radeon R9 Fury X.Ĭramming a powerful core inside a tiny chassis isn’t easy or cheap. But there’s definitely more to it - all of us here are really eager to hear what it means for you.The AMD Radeon R9 Fury Nano is one of the most exciting graphics cards I’ve seen for years and, at only 6in long, it’s also one of the smallest. Bad design practices, bad business motivations, bad relations with gamers - they’re things we are and will remain vocal about. Finally, much like every self-respecting rebel, we live to challenge the status quo. We’re independent and have no corporate overlords, so we have the creative space to experiment, and we’re also big enough to leave a mark and attempt things other studios can’t. Instead of falling into an annualized development cycle, we choose to challenge ourselves, often shooting for the stars. I mean, who in their right mind makes an open world TPP RPG, then a card game, and then an FPP RPG? Us, apparently. One of the things we like doing the most is tackling problems we don’t initially know how to approach. And we love it.īeing a rebel doesn’t always mean acting in opposition. In this phrase, we’ve found something that unites, but also leaves room for individuality. And while there’s much shared understanding of its exact meaning, there’s no singular definition everybody would accept without adding a few words of their own. It’s an expression we often add after coming up with something crazy - as well as a casual equivalent of “what can possibly go wrong?”. It’s on our t-shirts and studio walls it’s something we say, and one of the ways we think.
Well, nobody at RED knows who said it first, but “We Are Rebels” has been living with us since forever. Like with any good nickname, if a game-dev studio has a catchphrase, it should be something someone says once, then it just sticks.
