One of the best images of the pint-sized graphics card shows AMD's Chris Hook, a senior director of global marketing PR for the company, excitedly holding the card up. He displayed the card just long enough for a picture to be taken before disappearing behind the scenes.

At one point during the event, AMD's Raja Koduri walked on stage and handed a working sample of the Radeon RX Vega Nano to Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games and Unreal Engine. No details were provided, but if the silver aluminum shroud is any indication, the Nano is based on the Radeon RX Vega 64 rather than the lower end Radeon RX Vega 56.
The card looks to be around 5-6 inches in length. It has three full-size DisplayPorts and a single HDMI input, and draws power from a single 8-pinc PCIe power connector.
These types of cards are popular because they allow for compact builds where only micro-ATX and sometimes even just mini-ITX motherboards are supported. The appeal of a Radeon RX Vega Nano is that gamers can build a small desktop without compromising performance.
