These translations are too funny

 "NVIDIA launched the GTX 780 Ti beat the R9 290X AMD single-core graphics card successfully defended the performance king of the place"

Well Chiphell said there would be defects but never said who exactly. They said NVIDIA but this is apparently only occurring on Galaxy cards. Maybe this will cause them to step up even more in quality control?

The 300 series is code named Pirate Islands, perhaps AMD named it after that because it's going to unearth a buried treasure.... but Maxwell might show up on the island and ruin the party by stealing the booty.

Hold on

Everyone was ragging on the 290X for being hotter than Thermite

BUT

It's Galaxy cards that are exploding?

FTFY.

 

Hilarious, that's why you buy from only reputable brands! Galaxy's HOF was terrible as well!

GALAXY cards are exploding. nvidia's design is fine - they don't make them, they provide the reference design. Galaxy manufactures their own. They obviously failed
