Even the top-end 'Quality' setting will deliver higher frame rates than the DLSS 1.0 implementation of the original game, and going for 'Performance' will make a huge difference to your overall frame rate without hugely impacting fidelity. ![]() If you're rocking an Nvidia GPU then absolutely your first recourse to discovering extra frame rate performance should be the DLSS options. We were quite happily playing on 'Ultra' at 4K with an RTX 3060 Ti on our mid-range rig with the 'Performance' DLSS setting, and that claims to need an RTX 3080 for 4K at 30 fps. The base Quality setting is a good starting point for straight performance, but the magic DLSS bullet can make a big difference if you're on the green team. At 1080p you're rendering at such a low resolution the AI upsampling doesn't have as much to work with and you do get some noise in the most detailed areas of a scene, and shimmering around fine lines, such as the trees. ![]() Though, if I'm honest, I'd probably steer clear of the 'Ultra performance' mode at the lower resolutions. Use that as a jumping off point and you can pick up anywhere from 20 to nearly 50 fps higher performance with the different DLSS settings. Even at the least aggressive, most aesthetically pleasing end of the preset spectrum-'DLSS Quality'-you're still getting higher frame rates than the original version could offer, and with a far higher fidelity too. The main takeaway of our testing is that regardless of what else you do with the in-game settings you absolutely have to enable DLSS if your GPU is capable. The original game employed DLSS 1.0 to give RT gamers a bump on their frame rates, but as a first-gen implementation of the tech it sometimes delivered a rather muddy, blurry image.ĭLSS 2.0 is a whole new game of balls, however, works even at 1080p, and now comes with four different presets as opposed to just on/off. (Image credit: 4A Games) Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition DLSS performanceĪs a card carrying member of the DLSS 2.0 club, the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition gets access to the latest and greatest version of Nvidia's ever-impressive super sampling feature. So it's down to the MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2x and MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio to give us a proper bead on Metro's new gaming chops. That's because our representative budget machine, the Arctic Stealth (it's white and eschews RGB), is only running an MSI GTX 1650 Super Gaming X, and with the best will in the world that's no ray tracing GPU. We've only tested Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on the new mid-range and high-end PC Gamer test rigs, that's Mellow Yellow and Hot Pink, to give them their full titles. But how does this enhanced edition perform compared with the original incarnation, and what are the best settings to tweak if you want to boost performance? The original was, which is why we still use it to test the latest GPUs. As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition on different PC gaming hardware.Īs one of the first big names to release with ray tracing capable hardware as a minimum requirement-even though it's essentially a free upgrade for a two year-old game-Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition is going to be demanding on your hardware. ![]() Step 5: The last step is to activate your Windows using the command “ slmgr /ato”.

While the explosion-proof Lihzahrd Bricks and the Lihzahrd Altar can only be mined with a Picksaw, most other objects in the Temple, including traps, can be removed with low-tier tools.They pose a very high threat to players without late-game equipment.

Dungeon (Otherworldly) (Otherworldly).mp3.As in the Dungeon, all Temple traps, pressure plates, and wires can be looted by the player for use in player-built mechanisms. They are activated by Lihzahrd Pressure Plates, which only respond to players (enemies walk on them freely without triggering them). Traps occur much more frequently in the Temple than in the Dungeon and are far more damaging. The entire Temple is filled with several types of traps, including Flame, Spear, Spiked Ball, and Super Dart Traps. Several Power Cells are found in the Temple's Lihzahrd Chests and are dropped randomly by the Temple's Lihzahrd and Flying Snake enemies. The Altar can be used to summon Golem at the cost of one Lihzahrd Power Cell. The Temple's entrance leads to a long corridor that winds downward through several chambers, ending in a large room at the bottom containing the Lihzahrd Altar. There are, however, several methods to enter the temple prior to defeating Plantera. It is generally impossible to enter the Temple via any other conventional means since Lihzahrd Bricks can only be mined with at least the Picksaw dropped by Golem, and Lihzahrd Brick Walls impose numerous restrictions, e.g. Unlocking the door consumes one Temple Key from the player's inventory, and the door remains permanently unlocked for all players in the world. The door is initially locked, requiring a Temple Key to open, which is dropped by Plantera. The Temple is entered via the Lihzahrd Door located at one of its two top corners. Defeating Golem triggers the spawning of Cultists, used to summon the Lunar Events. The Lihzahrd Altar found in the Temple's final chamber is used to summon the Golem boss. The Lihzahrd Furnace, a crafting station for further Lihzahrd-themed furniture, can be found in its Chests. ![]() The Jungle Temple contains unique Lihzahrd-themed enemies, traps, and furniture. It is always present in any generate world, but can only be properly entered after Plantera has been defeated. The Jungle Temple (also known as the Lihzahrd Temple) is an enclosed structure constructed of Lihzahrd Bricks and located in the Underground Jungle. ![]() Holding power of a fastener comes from friction along the fastener shank and a combination of toeing and/or angling shots not the head.

Whether you use your reverse mortgage to eliminate your monthly montage payment, 5 to set up a line of credit for use in case of emergency, or to cover ongoing monthly expenses, it may help you live more comfortably too. Reverse mortgages help some seniors live a more comfortable retirement by providing a financial cushion.

HECM-for-Purchase borrowers can use the sale of their current home as the down payment, and a reverse mortgage to finance the new house.

(Note, this might have been a consequence of different Font Forge versions - to be certain that the scripts would work, I used the 20 versions respectively, as those were the versions active when the scripts were written.)įinally, I gave up on the scripts, opened up the latest release of Font Forge for the very first time and decided to do it all manually. I tried Koboify Fonts 0.3.1 and the latter Readify Font scripts - both refused to embolden the fonts, and in some cases even failed to alter PANOSE settings. So I set out to learn how to fix these things. To top it off, about half of the fonts had bad PANOSE settings, which was apparent in the selection menu. The heavier fonts like Galliard could use about 10-15% more weight to reach perfection. spidery on my Aura One), they are still a bit on the thin side. Though not nearly as bad as Adobe's Garamond or Jenson (perfect, beautiful fonts, if only they were not so. While I actually love the look and feel of all the fonts - spacing, line height, etc, I honestly wouldn't change any of it - the weight leaves something to be desired. From the marketing spiel, I was hoping that they would be almost ideal for eInk, due to the "super special" technology that was supposedly used in crafting them. Anyway, after harassing my friend well and good, I managed to badger him into giving me the full set of those nice-looking "eText" font redesigns that were released a few years back. I like some serif goodness in my fonts, but an occasional slab can also be appealing. I've pretty much been on the excellent ChareInk since the moment I discovered it, but I still enjoy looking up and testing fonts that seem promising. I've been on the lookout for nice fonts since the day that I got my Kobo. ![]() Thus, ABC's accounts payable turned over 8.9 times during the past year. Based on this information, the controller calculates the accounts payable turnover as: Purchases for the last 12 months were $7,500,000. In the beginning of this period, the beginning accounts payable balance was $800,000, and the ending balance was $884,000.

The cash payment exclusion may be necessary if a company has been so late in paying suppliers that they now require cash in advance payments.Įxample of the Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio However, the amount of up-front cash payments to suppliers is normally so small that this modification is not necessary. The formula can be modified to exclude cash payments to suppliers, since the numerator should include only purchases on credit from suppliers. ![]() Total supplier purchases ÷ ((Beginning accounts payable + Ending accounts payable) / 2) To calculate the accounts payable turnover ratio, summarize all purchases from suppliers during the measurement period and divide by the average amount of accounts payable during that period. How to Calculate the Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio If a company is paying its suppliers very quickly, it may mean that the suppliers are demanding fast payment terms, or that the company is taking advantage of early payment discounts. A change in the turnover ratio can also indicate altered payment terms with suppliers, though this rarely has more than a slight impact on the ratio. ![]() If the turnover ratio declines from one period to the next, this indicates that the company is paying its suppliers more slowly, and may be an indicator of worsening financial condition.
