Yeah I don't buy a whole lot of equipment too often, so I'm not sure how seriously to take the reviews. People usually just write reviews when something goes wrong, so it can go either way.
That's not even the same model or even from the same manufacturer... I looked at the 1star review and laughed when he said the card was running too hot at 63c.
The model she bought was an EVGA DS Superclocked -AR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130657 EVGA arguably has the best support in the industry and this model has a lifetime warranty upon registration so make sure you register it at www.evga.com within 30 days of purchase or else you default to the three year warranty.

You are an amazing girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend would get me the most thoughtless stupid gifts. She didn't put any effort into them, except for my one birthday, sorta. She even knew that a nice gesture was all I wanted on my birthday, and she didn't do it.
Keep that up. You're great.

Imho it's way to expensive and he'll feel bad because of that because he will never have something that expensive ( not if he's not some rich guy that just buys jewelry on a daily basis)
|
He has a Corsair HX850 and an ASUS ROG, I'm pretty sure he's rich? A GTX 560 Ti is actually nothing in comparison to how much he spent on those two components.
|
He'll love it, good job! Thoughtful too honestly..
|
OP is a gold-digger
But then again, why didn't he have a better graphics to begin with? Inconsistency right there. Or does his rig consist of expensive b-day gifts from different gfs? Omgosh!
|
Can I be your boyfriend too?
|
Buy him a chain for his pocket watch.
Most guys won't care that much about clothes, or at least won't be emotionally attached to it. Unless it's a jersey for their favorite sports team. Guys are happy with most things that are pretty cool.
|
Now every single TL guy to read this post is going to make "buys me a graphics card for Xmas" an essential quality for future relationships. I look forward to the million girl blogs angry at their girlfriends who buy them crappy cards and other gifts.
TL:DR, that's an amazing gift. count me very jealous. 
|
DAMN THIS GUY IS LUCKY TO HAVE A GF LIKE YOU
|
You have my internet tech nerd stamp of approval.

wow are u serious? it's not even the same card as hers
850 watts is way more than enough, only need 600watts
motherboard is fine, EVGA is the most reliable brand, there's no problems
stop trying to scare her
|
He dosent read your blog?
I would dump him.
|
when i was still with my ex i got her a box of things she always used. sounds boring yes? error. that symbolic gesture with like bodybutter, hairspray and other random little things she enjoyed, was the best gift i ever got for someone :> seing her feel so guilty when i got my tshirt and some other random clothing was pretty priceless haha
edit: oh yeah, forgot to reply to OPs blog lol. fucking epic gift
|
Thank you so much everyone!
I definitely appreciate all the much needed input and advice.
Have a lovely day lovelys and Merry Christmas if I don't blog till then.
Love, ohsotedious <3

i kinda think if you date/marry someone who doesnt know what to buy you they kinda dont really know you... or you dont have much in common
that being said i have this card and its def a HUGE upg over what he has and if he posts pics of his comp on facebook he most likely is into hardware. ur a good gf but i thinkwe all know what he REALLY wants for his bday
|
if my girlfriend got me that, i would definitely be surprised lol..
its all about the surprise most of the times.. =)
great pick!
|
Your title is misleading. We're incredibly easy to shop for and thank God you checked out his graphics card prior. That is a huge upgrade.
|
Pretty thoughtful, I think he'll be very impressed.
|
I'm too stupid to buy computer components for my boyfriend... So I'm buying him an iPhone 4S instead. e-z.
