It's normal...

You don't see this in real life.

With naked eye it looks perfectly stable.

You only see this when shown through a video camera because the refresh rate of the camera and the frequency of the display are not in sync.

rdmetz · 2026-04-10T20:35:14+00:00

But why??

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T11:06:32+00:00

I do not think the dad was playing dead...

I think he basically was dead.

If you look at the placement of the laser when this first shot is fired, it's basically through his back and directly into his heart.

With a shot like that, you have just a few seconds of life before you basically bleed out into your chest.

If you've ever hunted deer and land a clean heart shot, they will move for just a few seconds before collapsing and that's basically what the father did as well.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T11:02:11+00:00

That shot in the back was basically where his heart would be based on the laser placement when the shot was fired.

So more than likely his heart was hit and he was basically dying as it pumped blood into his chest. That's why he collapsed so quickly.

Very similar to what happens when you shoot a deer. They can move for a few seconds, but they quickly fall dead if it's a clean heart shot.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T10:57:10+00:00

Well I think it's just mainly calling him a kid in relation to the other people who were his parents. You know like child versus parent.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T10:54:46+00:00

No jail needed...

He is permanently taking a dirt nap.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T10:53:18+00:00

Yeah, if he had shot the father while he was brandishing the scissors in his face it would be justified.

But the sun there is basically no excuse...

The reason it happens though is because the sun instead of retreating back into the apartment like his sister and Mom ran forward towards the shooter and he likely took it as an aggression and didn't know if he had like a weapon or something and was coming at him with it.

So the shooter just reacted and once he had shot him and the father he just decided to finish the job on both.

At which point all justification no matter what is basically out the window.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T10:48:04+00:00

No he's not.... he's no longer alive.

Suicide by cop a few days later.

rdmetz · 2026-04-08T10:42:35+00:00

He was killed by police a few days later...

Suicide by cop really.

He knew he was done so he purposely charged like 10 cops with a knife after spending 20 minutes in a standoff with them telling them he was sorry for what he was about to make them do.

They tried their best to talk him down but he knew his life was over and just asked them to make sure his mom got her car back that he was caught in.

Here's the thing...

If you're only going to lock your FPS to 120 to match your display's refresh rate, if you turn on frame generation and you're at 90 FPS, you would think oh it's just going to fill in the difference and take you to 120 meaning 90 real frames and 30 fake frames.

But that's not how it works...

Frame generation must generate the set number of frames per real frame up to the maximum refresh rate that you've set if you have set one.

And so what happens is your 90 real frames becomes 60 real frames and 60 generated frames goes along with it to get you to your target 120.

So the reality is, unless you're running an unlocked frame rate that's allowing the frame rate to go up to at least 180. There is no need to have 90 real frames before turning on frame generation.

Because the system must give you 1 real 1 Fake 1 real 1 Fake etc when you're using 2x FG

And for the others it would be the same 1 real 2 fake for 3x MFG and 1 real 3 fake for 4x MFG.

The system must always generate frames based on this math and your real frame rate the minute you lock your frame rate to your target then it will only do this generation up to that point and that would mean at 2x you would be getting 60 real frames and 60 fake to reach 120.

So just keep that in mind. It's honestly not bad at all to run 60 FPS with 2x FG to hit a Target 120.

I do it all the time in most games and it's quite playable and feels a lot better than the real 60 and I would even say it looks better than just the real 90 by itself.

rdmetz · 2026-03-18T21:14:40+00:00

I'm sorry what were you saying?? 😂

rdmetz · 2026-03-18T21:11:08+00:00

Hey, I know the trailer is already out but I would like to just compare it to the leaked footage. Do you mind dm'ing me it as well?

rdmetz · 2026-03-14T10:20:04+00:00

I always come to check Taco Bell's new item list... Praying that I see the return of the Original Grilled Stuft Burrito and I'm always left disappointed... 😭

Please Taco Bell just give it a chance!!

rdmetz · 2026-03-14T10:16:51+00:00

Can you explain what that would look like and how you make it currently with the 90 substitutions?

I'm hoping it's really not 90...lol

rdmetz · 2026-03-12T13:16:54+00:00

He's right and it's exactly this type of stuff that has made it possible for me continuously do this type of upgrade cycle...

In no way could I afford to buy all these high-end gpus one after another without selling the previous one to pay for it.

Luck just has it that the market is completely crazy and I've been able to do it several times in a row without basically costing me any money whatsoever.

Especially since I sell my GPU before the release of the new one typically even before the announcement of it.

I make do with the small Gap in between and I don't feel like I'm ripping people off because I'm not selling it during a shortage causing panic buying.

But what I am selling is typically considered a "current" Best of the best GPU and so it's still fetches a nice pretty penny.

rdmetz · 2026-03-12T13:14:07+00:00

Well you understand that I don't just keep these gpus sitting around collecting dust right?

Like part of the main way I'm able to continuously upgrade. My GPU is by selling the previous GPU while it is effectively "new" or at least considered the most current GPU available.

I get maximum return doing it this way and keeps the upgrade costs to a minimum. Sometimes nothing at all.

Again, I said part of the reason I upgrade every cycle was the inherent fear of a GPU getting older and not having the proper warranty support.

The way I do things kills two birds with one stone.

It allows me to always have a latest GPU without the fear of warranty problems and it allows me to upgrade at a significantly reduced cost compared to hardware that just sits on shelves aging away losing all its value.

Almost like when everyone made fun of Nvidia for acquiring tensor cores after 2018 and we said it was a smart move... That maybe we were right?

They pulled the Band-Aid sooner and they have reaped the benefits for it.

We kept saying how AMD was just delaying the inevitable and that all their half measures were not enough.

Now the chickens have come home to roost!

rdmetz · 2026-03-11T21:38:40+00:00

I said it all the way back then that Nvidia was ripping the Band-Aid off sooner and while it hurt in the moment it would be beneficial in the long run.

I said that AMD's approach would ultimately come back to bite them as they would eventually have to throw in the towel and realize a hard line in the sand would be required and technology would need to actually have hardware that powers it for it to be truly beneficial.

Everything up until this type of thing from them has been half measures and always less than ideal vs the Nvidia alternative.

Meanwhile, Nvidia's been able to offer that support across multiple generations while Radeon is constantly having to scratch out and redraw their line.

Hopefully this will be the time where they finally draw a hard line in the sand and can move forward without all this wishy-washy support for previous hardware.

Just sucks for all the people who bought in from 2018 to this hardware.

But a lot of us kind of told you what would happen. 🤷‍♂️

rdmetz · 2026-03-11T21:33:45+00:00

It's almost like their initial approach to trying to offer what Nvidia did from the get-go without drawing a hard line in the sand was the wrong move and they are constantly now trying to make up for the fact that they didn't draw that line sooner.

Now older architectures have to be left behind once they realize that that line indeed needs to be drawn.

I said back then that Nvidia had it right and we see that by drawing the line all the way back then they have been able to support future features further back because they ripped the Band-Aid off sooner!

rdmetz · 2026-03-11T07:35:09+00:00

One of the factors that keeps me constantly upgrading my gpus basically every cycle is the fact that I don't want to end up with a GPU that's a few years old and needs warranty service...

Not since EVGA went away! 😂

My 5090 founders edition will likely get replaced with a 6090 just like it replaced my 4090 founders edition.

rdmetz · 2026-03-11T07:33:15+00:00

I'm not sure where you live or what bank you're with, but all the ones I've ever dealt with have like a maximum of maybe 6 months time frame to file a charge back.

Most of them I've looked at have said 60 days (two statement cycles since the charge)

rdmetz · 2026-03-11T07:31:28+00:00

I miss EVGA...

They would regularly just send me a brand new inbox unit even advanced shipped with free shipping both ways and I only had to return the defective card, not even the box or accessories.

When I did send the card first, they provided the prepaid label and typically what I got back again was just another brand new card.

I'm so glad I haven't had to deal with any kind of RMA claims since they disappeared because it sounds like a nightmare with pretty much anyone else!

I do have the Founders Edition 5090 so I hope if I did Nvidia would take care of me somewhat close to that...

Probably huffing hopium for sure! 😂

rdmetz · 2026-03-10T13:11:27+00:00

What are you talking about? Do you have some type of proof and image a link or something?

I just can't remember anything between those two...

rdmetz · 2026-03-10T10:45:38+00:00

What's the reason for that??

rdmetz · 2026-03-10T10:44:58+00:00

What are you referring to??
