Powercolor Nano is now available at $460 (after rebate) at Newegg.

With the availability of DisplayPort to HDMI2.0 adapter having 4K @60Hz 4:4:4 support, this card can be great for a gaming HTPC. Its performance per watt rating (on stock power limits) is about the same as that of GTX970 and GTX980.

Once it drops around $350-400, it'd get harder to ignore, even considering the GPUs coming out this year on new process nodes.
 
under 500 euro here
superb card for the price atm.

I wait until Polaris comes out what to go for.
The HDR simply is a great thing to buy Polaris for and 144hz such with a OLEd screen, well that be a dream come true.
 
Nano is cool and all, but market seems limited. That said, I want one.

My real reason for posting though is you mention HDR. Educate me. I know HDR is a thing on new TV's, but how does this translate to video games, PC monitors, and video cards?

Sounds great. What are the details, anyone?

seems to similar to tvs demo from what I can tell. Better contrast, black levels, color range etc. Need a new display to take advantage tho
 
Main thing with HDR are better contrasts allowing a 3D seen effect as your eyes see luminance better than colors.
Its a big thing both for Tv and monitors and OLED is finnaly making its place.

Market opens up a lot at these lower prices. It was very much a niche product when the price was same as Fury-X, but now at $450-500, it's the best GPU in the price segment - much better than GTX980 in performance, and with the same perf/watt numbers.

It can be a nice addition to any PC, regardless of the form factor.

The Nano is the first card in a long while that makes me want to upgrade from the 7950 that I bought here from greasyhands three years ago; that price just needs to come down some more.

Yay, just got one a week or so ago. Build a new mini ITX PC from the ground up - 6600k, 16gb DDR4, just SSD and this Nano. It's great. Really quiet, drives 3 screen eyefinity really well, sips power and everything happens so damn quick. First PC I've ever had where battlefield 4 seems totally crash-proof.

I agree, this card is becoming my favorite graphics card ever bought.
 
Just had an email from one of my regular etailers offering a special deal on a Nano for just £323. That's about £90 cheaper than I paid for my Fury Pro. Was initially tempted but it would have meant xfire and probably a new PSU so I resisted.

If you're looking for a card at that price it would have to be a contender.
