The New GeForce 560 Ti

Gotta Love It

from Elemental Forums

Man I love income tax returns :). I picked up the new GeForce 560 Ti yesterday for my system and a new 2 TB HD for my wifes system. I brought the card home and installed it and I gotta say the upgrade was money Well Spent. I went from DX9.c to DX11 and the visible difference in gaming is outstanding as well as a drastic increase in frame-rate across the board on just about everything I've tried so far.

My GeForce GTX 280 is going into my wifes system so she's going from my old 7800 to the 280 which is a big upgrade for her too. Hopefully she won't f'k it up like she seems to do with anything electronic I put in front of her....*sigh*. I love my wife to death but she's..well, clumsy, to say the least. I always end up having to do repairs on her system because she moves things around or installs something she shouldn't.

Anyway, if you're looking for a new GFX Card anytime soon and you don't want to throw down the $499 for the GeForce 580, the 560 Ti is a GREAT BUY for the money. I highly recommend it. :)

Unfortunately I'm not feeling that much better. They did a biopsy of my large and small intestine last week and I'm still mostly bed ridden. Two days after the biopsy I got a call from the health department and my health card/insurance has been suspended and my account is now in limbo (I'm assuming because they're trying to get out of paying for the surgeries I'm Still waiting for.. :( ). At least they got me on some better pain meds now so I'm a little more mobile as long as I have my meds.

What reason did they give for doing that, if I'm not prying?

For doing which, the biopsy's or for suspending my account? For the biopsy's they wanted to check the deterioration of my intestines from the crohn's which can't really be seen with a CAT scan or MRI. It was an out-patient procedure and I wasn't even there the whole day. The incision was only an inch or so long and they did it with a camera with a pair of small scissors on the end. I'm not sure what reason they have for suspending my account yet. Hopefully I'll find that out today as I'm getting ready to make a trip down there right now.
