This thing had GTX 980 performance at 175w
Why didnt AMD just make a die shrink of it for the RX480?
Because they're idiots and that's what vega will be.
you can hear it running from space,those weird radio signals SETI intercepts are actually R9 Nano coilwhining

because you cant just scale it down, it was made with a different process in mind

Toppest kek and unfortunely truest as well
I ended up giving it back on a 14-day purchase return, citing noise. I think it had the potential to be an excellent card had AMD thought about a 2-fan version with heatsink sticking out a bit beyond the pcb -- still small enough but better cooled.
But AMD is fucking based so they do things hot and hard.

Fury was a failure, and there's no way they could have made a shrunk version at $200.
