What I think the prices should have been...

 

    Sapphire Radeon R9 NANO 4GB HBM Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 FURY 4GB HBM Sapphire Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB HBM   KJØP

5.999,- (This card still has more shaders and stuff over the regular Fury)

5.699,-

kr 293,-/md. (24 md.) KJØP

6.299,- (The AIO water cooler makes the price fair...)

7,199.00 NOK = 882.479 USD (Fury Nano price as it is now...)

5,999.00 NOK = 735.379 USD (Fury Nano price as I think it should be.)

5,699.00 NOK = 698.604 USD (Fury)

6,299.00 NOK = 772.154 USD (Fury X)

The price should be between Fury-X and Fury. I reckon the price will drop soon though.

Nano = Fury

Sad part is it can't relly go down. I heard it's meant to be really highly binned or something?

No idea what the cost of life is in norway, but I do think the nano should have cost between the fury and fury x - perhaps the same as the fury since it's not clocked as high as the x. But then the engineering that went into it has a cost. Perhaps they should have kept the pcb of the fury x with a powerhouse blower cooler and kept the same clock speed - that way the performance would have sort of justified the price considering the size. As it stands, sure, it's shorter, but a fury x without the radiator would probably fit just fine where the nano fits for the time being. I still find it very impressive, but I wouldn't buy one.

it has to be to allow for the smaller cooler and the smaller pcb.

Apparently it's not.

There has been some misconception out there that the Nano is an uber binned part.  Actually, both Nano and Fury X share the same ASIC configuration.  What differs is the audience and form factor the products are targeted for.  If you are interested in water cooling, aftermarket waterblocks are available for both the Nano and Fury X however the Nano is designed to be smaller and more power efficient with lower overall clocks and power delivery circuit.  The Fury X is the card you want if you intend to push the Fiji ASIC to the absolute limit.

Its so expensive because of the memory its like insanely new tech

And it's not that easy to put a normal length card into a PCI express length card

Huh, interesting; wonder why it costs so much then?

Because the card is targeted at niche audience/market.

AMD can't even supply the demand, so they probably don't care about the price right now, it will likely come down in a few months.

It'll come down but I do want to point out that making a Fury the size of a shoebox and not overheat is not exactly something every guy with a degree can do.
