Sapphire's AMD RX Vega Nano to hit the market in May
It seems that at the end of May the AMD RX Vega Nano will arrive, a graphics card that we have not known about for months and about which we know little, such as the GPU, which we do not know what it is, but everything indicates that it will be a Vega 56 .
We saw it last August and since then we have not heard anything more about this graphics card, not even a benchmark of it. After thinking that it was just a marketing trick, a few days ago it was Sapphire who first returned the AMD RX Vega Nano to our memory and then PowerColor has shown the RX Vega Nano in photos. We don't know the performance of this graphics card and we only know that the PCB is about half as large and will have an incredibly low TDP from what they have said.
This PowerColor RX Vega Nano graphics card has been seen at an AMD event in Munich and according to recent information, it will be presented in the middle of next May and will arrive at the end of May. PowerColor does not yet have, apparently, the final dissipation, since it would be working on an efficient heatsink capable of dissipating all the heat. The PCB is much shorter than the PCB of the Red Dragon Vega 56, introduced by the company. They are working on an efficient heatsink for this cropped graphic.
PowerColor implements 8 + 6-pin PCIe power connectors, which would indicate a reduction in consumption compared to the full-size model of the RX Vega 56, which has two 8-pin PCIe connectors. We must remember at this point that initially there was talk of the RX Vega 64 converted into the Vega Nano, something that caused a lot of concern among users, since there was talk of a TDP cut in half, something that did not add up. If it is a GPU RX Vega 56, reducing the TDP would add up, if the working voltage and frequencies are cut.
We do not yet know the price of this graphics card, but we are not sure if even if it comes at a good price, it will be interesting due to consumption, since a RX 570/580 are more efficient and consume less and the NVIDIA also perform more with lower consumption, although with a higher price. It is certain that it will not be sold for mining, like the RX Vega in general, since the absurd price and the exorbitant consumption make them unviable for mining.
