Although all AMD Radeon R9 Nano graphics cards on the market are currently based on a reference design, it appears that ASUS wants to change things a bit with its upcoming Radeon R9 Nano White.

While it appears that we are not looking at a custom design, since both the PCB, cooler and the back I/O outputs appear to be the same as on the reference graphics card, except for a small ASUS logo near the PCI-Express interface, ASUS has changed some things on the new R9 Nano White.

According to Computerbase.de, ASUS is using its Auto-Extreme production method, a fully-automated manufacturing process, which should result in both lower failure rate, longer lifetime and lower production cost for ASUS. The most obvious change is the color of the shroud as well as the ASUS logo sticker on the fan.

The new R9 Nano White is still a short design and should be working at 1000MHz for the GPU and 500MHz for 4GB of HBM memory.

The new ASUS R9 Nano White should go well with some white-themed system builds but we still do not have any details regarding the price or the availability date and who knows, that white shroud might hide a few optimizations on the PCB as well.
