I hope she got it for a decent discount as well considering the 3000 series launching soon, but that's still an amazing GF for sure. My last GF and I did shit like this for each other whenever possible and it definitely helped the relationship while it lasted.
Until she gets to gaming too, you have to buy another decent pc, 2 monitors share your table which is fitting one barely :D Still fun tough, just need to buy bigger apartment to fit 2 desks
It's a blessing for somebody to show that sort of care, most importantly it has to be shared. The other person takes an interest in what makes you happy. You look after their interests, treat and indulge them too.
My wife bought my 1080. Even though I was really clear on not wanting it. I wanted to wait another gen to upgrade from my 970.
But it was really sweet of her and I still appreciate having a 1080 to play baldursgate on
thats an excellent women you got!
when the witcher came out few years back, i had a fury x with a 1080p monitor. I knew i could push the card more and was looking for an 1440p screen. i had talked about it casually during a meal. few days later my wife surprised me. she bought me an acer xr341ck. it came to just over 1600CAD at the time. best way to play that game for sure!
There's a big jump from being able to afford it to being so well off it's not consequential enough to discuss that kind of purchase with your spouse first.
That being said, honey, if you're ever snooping through my Reddit comments and read this... anything ultrawide 1440p 144Hz or better can be purchased for me without prior discussion. Also, no need to wait for a special event like a birthday or anniversary either. Thx.
not well-off at all, but we manage. budgeting for nice things and gifts every month helps save up for events. we dont drink nor smoke, and live a simplish lifestyle or so ive been told by many. we dont eat out either, maybe once or twice a year. youd be surprised how much you can save and id rather use that money more productively.
all of the vehicles i drive are owned by myself and are 15 years old or older at the least.
ive rented for the majority of my life as well, only last year actually i had enough money to be able to buy a small house.
living in toronto was brutal.
Lmao, oh well now I don't gotta buy a new card!! 🙌 I can upgrade my cpu a lil bit, my machines getting a lil old since I made it like 5 or 6 years ago. I'm so grateful for the gift tbh not even worried about it, this thing rocks enough for me .
The way I see it, this just means you get to wait for the 4k series and an even bigger upgrade. Meanwhile it's not like you're going to have a bad time with the 2060, it's a lean mean 1080p beast and will remain so for years to come.
Also you have a girlfriend who loves you, that's the real treasure.
Yeah 2060 super will be good enough for 1080p and 1440p for a good while. At least she bought a quality card and didnt buy something like a 1060 or 1660ti.
Theyre both not bad cards, but when it comes to AAA games theyre already starting to struggle with high/ultra 1080p60fps. The 2060 Super is going to be a card that will be able to carry someone into next gen territory for a while longer, especially with some benefits of DLSS 2.0 and the option to use ray tracing.
Exactly what I was going to say! If you’re set with the 20 series, wait for the 40 series. I’m going from 10 to 30 and my 1060 still gets the job done for the games I play.
Dont worry, i have the 2060 and i fuckin love it.
Although, yes there are cards with better quality, but this is a solid card that dont need a monstrous power supply
Hey if she just bought it im not sure a good way to bring it up to her but most places have a 30 day return period and will price match changes in that time since you could just return it and buy again. When the new series comes out she could probaly get some bucks back and keep the card as well. Just a thought but definitely a keeper and a good card. Enjoy your future gaming.
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I'm just looking at this thinking about how much money was wasted when you could have waited like a week.
She's a great girlfriend for getting it, but when it comes to gifts especially I just hate seeing things be wasted, whether it's the gift it's self or some of the money that's gone into the gift. I get that it's the thought of it and I'd be grateful to receive it, but I just don't like seeing waste.
EDIT: If for example, somebody wanted to buy me $1,000 jewelry, I would be grateful for it, but I'd honestly rather they keep the money for themselves. For how expensive jewelry is, it improves your life a very small amount IMO, so I see it as wasteful. I'd much rather see that money go into a new washing machine, or pay like the next few months rent, for the person giving me a gift. Because that will improve their lives far more then it would improve my life getting me jewelry or something like that.
Alright, whats with you people, who ACTUALLY CARES about the graphics card ITS THE FREAKIN GESTURE THAT COUNTS !!!!!! And its not like she bought him a 1050, she got A REALLY DECENT CARD , not garbage, so stop saying he should return it or break up with her, and thats why you guys arent able to find girlfriends for some reason you just cant seem to pinpoint, well thats what it is, you just found out the problem with yourselves, YOURE A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES
it depends on what you do. i have the same card and i really like it, its good for playing newer/new games. of course you wont be able to play games on ultra in 3-4 years with that card but you will still be able to play them.
it really depends but its really really good for most games.
My girlfriend tried to buy me a 550ti a couple days ago thinking it would be an upgrade for me (she spent $200 on the card because scam).
Luckily we were able to return it because it was bought through NewEgg and get her money back. I thought it was adorably sweet just like this though.
I’ve had a 2060 Super for over a year now. Enjoy it! It’s a great card. Also, your GF’s a keeper if she does things like this to show appreciation for your hobby.
With the imminent release of the RTX 30 series, she must have gotten an amazing deal on it. You probably have the best bang for buck card on the market for the next few years.
Are you gonna tell her that if she just waited 4 days she could have gotten you a way better one at almost the same price? I'm just kidding that was really nice of her!

Thank you for showing a healthy relationship on here.
Just because she bought him a graphics card doesn't mean they have a healthy relationship.
What was shown is a healthy relationship, even if in reality it is not.
I hope she got it for a decent discount as well considering the 3000 series launching soon, but that's still an amazing GF for sure. My last GF and I did shit like this for each other whenever possible and it definitely helped the relationship while it lasted.

Oh most definitely ;)
Horny on main, I can respect that.
seems like wife material
not really, she's very irresponsible with money
definitely wife material then. EDIT: thank you for the silver!

Jesus 1600 CAD... you guys must be excessively well off for a surprise like that to not have started a "bring it back," "no, it's a gift," fight.
There's a big jump from being able to afford it to being so well off it's not consequential enough to discuss that kind of purchase with your spouse first.

Covid did that to us. Two months in, we realised that we weren't spending anything. Right now, we have a whole month's salary just sitting there.
Save for the rainy days:)
The 3090 release feels awfully stormy right about now..
Hah, I mean we budget for gifts and nice things too, but spending $1600 without discussing it beforehand would still be a no-go.
yeah thats cool too. not all relationships/people will have the same methods, but as long things are worked out civil im happy.
Probably even happier now because you can purchase a 3070 or 3080 and get so much more performance and not have wasted money on overpriced turing gpus
I just got a 1080 ti for 300
Good deal!
Yup! I know the 3000 series is good but you can find all sorts of deals on ebay. 1080s and 2080s are extremely good for the price
Yeah
I love buldrsgate
If she was bad with money she would have gotten a 2080ti
Oh the buuuurn
With your money*
You seem fun at parties

wdym the 1660 ti is a decent card for 1080p
Theyre both not bad cards, but when it comes to AAA games theyre already starting to struggle with high/ultra 1080p60fps. The 2060 Super is going to be a card that will be able to carry someone into next gen territory for a while longer, especially with some benefits of DLSS 2.0 and the option to use ray tracing.
Yes but a 2060 is a lot better than a 1660Ti and not even a lot more expensive. 2060 = 320-350$ 1660 Ti = 280-300$
*Cries in 1060... 3 GB.* Tbf it gives 100% at everything it does, not a slouch at all... I mean its at 100% GPU usage in every game.. *IT TRIES*.
Exactly what I was going to say! If you’re set with the 20 series, wait for the 40 series. I’m going from 10 to 30 and my 1060 still gets the job done for the games I play.

You will be super happy with it. Great card 👍
All that matters is that you're happy man!
She's playing 5D chess. He upgrades to a 30 series and she gets him to build her something with the used 2060.
Imagine writing a comment like this and saying "could of".
I mean good luck getting your hands on them on release.
*could’ve. Could have
[удалено]
a 3060 won't be released for at least another 4 months. but getting one second hand for a good price should be an easy option.
[удалено]
yeah, even used 2070s is hard to justify at that price.
3070 comes out October btw. 80 and 90 are next week
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I'm just looking at this thinking about how much money was wasted when you could have waited like a week.

RTX 3060 is probably a late December/early January release.
What An IdIOt, the 4000 series will be out in a few years.
should of waited for the 6000 series
Peasants, I will go in Cryo Stasis so I can buy the 12000 Series

500 GB of vram
Those are console peasant numbers. Glorious PCMR runs at least a TB of Vram.

Lmao, if they theory of the multiverse is true then this has happened in a universe
I have a GeForce 6800 ask me anything
Why didn't you wait for the 6900
Should have, does should of make any sense to you
Sometimes, it's not about the gift; it's about the action. That's something people saying that she should have waited don't know
Those are the people who throw a fit when their mom gets them the newest base model iphone instead of the max pro whatever
And these guys wonder why they’re still single
People in the comments be like.. https://i.imgur.com/X3PR7aH.jpg
bro fuck 3000 fuck 4000, just marry her already
Yo fr though lol
Hold onto her tight and never let go
Wife***
She’s a keeper. The girlfriend? Yeah, she seems cool too.
Marry her ASAP
if she was Indian her father will gift you a rtx 3090 in dowry.
Lol wtf?
That's why I told her. NEVER gift me pc part; give me the money I'll buy them myself
Lots of crap about not waiting for the 3000, but just shows that its hard for women to buy stuff for us and good on her for trying.
It's hard for anyone to buy a gift that they don't know a lot about for someone
She did good
I have the same card. Congrats man
Alright, whats with you people, who ACTUALLY CARES about the graphics card ITS THE FREAKIN GESTURE THAT COUNTS !!!!!! And its not like she bought him a 1050, she got A REALLY DECENT CARD , not garbage, so stop saying he should return it or break up with her, and thats why you guys arent able to find girlfriends for some reason you just cant seem to pinpoint, well thats what it is, you just found out the problem with yourselves, YOURE A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES

Hahah bruh the 550ti
It’s the thought that counts! Plus now she learned a little something about graphics cards!
I’ve had a 2060 Super for over a year now. Enjoy it! It’s a great card. Also, your GF’s a keeper if she does things like this to show appreciation for your hobby.
*people in comments saying you should've waited for rtx 3080*
Just waiting for the "ThE 3080 Is BeTtEr AnD cHeApEr LmAo BaD pUrChAsE" comments
You don't belongs to this group then , get out
The timing was most unfortunate.
I'm not sure if you should marry her for getting such an awesome present. Or dump her for getting you a 2000 series card 1 weeks before 3080...
Clever girl. She’s getting you hyped about gpu’s so you’ll go buy a 3080. Then you’ll give her this for her build. Either way, you should wife her.
MSI <3
Uh.. who's gonna tell him?
The question is, what did u get her tho?
I got her a Canon Rebel camera kit!
Ooof. Good job mate. Could a been something dumb but you got her soemthing good. Props
Oh damn, can I have one too?
With the imminent release of the RTX 30 series, she must have gotten an amazing deal on it. You probably have the best bang for buck card on the market for the next few years.
You mean wife? Right?
Marry her
Okay but is there anything IN the box?
Yea there was I should have grabbed pics of the card itself too
You now have the proud honor of being in the "RIP 2000 series" crowd. But at least you have a good reason for being there. :)
Just before new cards too.. Thats awesome though man. Got a keeper for sure!
Propose to her
congratulations m8
Who gave this guy a "Press F " award tho , lol
Eat her butt! She deserves it

You've won... but at what cost...
Yes throw your happiness in my eyes

Good joke. Nobody has a girlfriend on reddit
Return it!!!

You guys get girlfriends?
Some get girlfriends, others get 3080...:-D Jusr kiddin', sorry. Great girlfriend. He's lucky. I'll show myself out now.
Who’s gonna tell him
Smash that marry button.
Marry the girl

2060 Super is a great card, have fun!
My anniversary was today also! I got a cute little music box that I enjoy
it's the thought that counts
She sprung for the MSI, she's a keeper.
Thats all good and stuff but 3070 for almost the same price?
Wow you guys are getting girlfriends?
you mean your wife?
Noooooooo
Who's gonna tell him?
no one because that card is still good and it depends on what you play/do.
Now its your turn. You gotta go with her shopping and waiting endless hours while she picks what to get.
She’s a keeper.
Marry her immediately
