PowerColor comes with Radeon RX Vega 56 Nano Edition

PowerColor is going to release a small version of a Radeon RX Vega 56 video card. The manufacturer calls it Nano Edition, but it is not yet an official RX Vega Nano, which has been expected since last year.

According to HardwareLuxx, PowerColor will announce its Radeon RX Vega 56 Nano Edition at the Computex trade show in early June. Details are not yet known, but judging by the name it is clear that it concerns a video card with a Vega 56 GPU. PowerColor puts that GPU on a relatively small pcb and builds a small cooler with one fan around it. It is not yet known what the exact dimensions of the video card are.

Last year AMD already showed an RX Vega Nano video card. The company did that when presenting the Radeon RX Vega 56 and Vega 64 video cards. However, there is still no official Nano release of the Vega GPU.

AMD also had a Nano variant in its range with the previous generation of Fury GPUs. The R9 Fury Nano had the same GPU as the Fury X, but was clocked lower than the larger cards to reduce consumption and thus heat development.

PowerColor isn’t the first manufacturer to make an RX Vega 56 video card with a smaller pcb. Sapphire did that before with its Pulse version. Although that card also has a small PCB, the manufacturer did put a large cooling block with two fans on it.
