BattleForge is one of the games which is constantly updated, and this is known by most people and this is why the development team works around the clock to offer you additions on a regular basis.


In order to keep the tradition of bringing groundbreaking elements to BattleForge, the development team offers a new addition to the game.


Now, that DirectX 11 with Windows 7 are released and also the new AMD’s ATI HD 5870 with support for DirectX 11, BattleForge has been updated in order to be able to run using Direct X 11 on supported hardware. with this in mind, you can expect a higher level of performance for the same processing power, which in turn allows more to be done with the game graphically and this translates in higher frame rates and new ways of creating graphical effects, such as shadows and lighting. A game that both runs and looks better is what rises from all of this.

It is told that DirectX 11 will ofer new generation of GPU goodness, especially for games. DirectX 11 offers some new features, tessellation being one of them and will enable artists to make smoother and less blocky models in 3D games. DX11 also knows how to take advantage of CPUs with multiple cores.

Seeing the benefit for games, the most important addition to all of this could be the compute shader, which will finally bring in the GPGPU that has been talked about lately.

After we all been waiting for the first DirectX 11 supporting game , it has finally arrived.

There is a new patch available for the EA free-to-play fantasy card game BattleForge which enables DirectX 11 functions and it's said that is offers smoother framerates along with new graphical effects on DX11 systems with DX11 hardware.

TEKANAN HIDROSTATIS

Tekanan (p) adalah satuan fisika untuk menyatakan gaya (F) per satuan luas (A).

Satuan tekanan sering digunakan untuk mengukur kekuatan dari suatu cairan atau gas.

Satuan tekanan dapat dihubungkan dengan satuan volume (isi) dan suhu. Semakin tinggi tekanan di dalam suatu tempat dengan isi yang sama, maka suhu akan semakin tinggi. Hal ini dapat digunakan untuk menjelaskan mengapa suhu di pegunungan lebih rendah dari pada di dataran rendah, karena di dataran rendah tekanan lebih tinggi.

Rumus dari tekanan dapat juga digunakan untuk menerangkan mengapa pisau yang diasah dan permukaannya menipis menjadi tajam. Semakin kecil luas permukaan, dengan gaya yang sama akan dapatkan tekanan yang lebih tinggi.

Tekanan udara dapat diukur dengan menggunakan barometer.

”Hidrostatika” ialah ilmu perihal zat alir atau fluida yang diam tidak bergerak dan ”hidrodinamika” parihal zat alir yang bergerak. Hidrodinamika yang khusus mengenai aliran gas dan udara, disebut ”Aerodinamika”.

Fluida ialah zat yang dapat mengalir. Jadi, termasuk zat cairdan gas. Perbedaan zat cair dengan ghas terutama terletak pada kompresibilitasnya. Gas mudah dimampatkan, sedang zat cair praktis tidak dapat dimampatkan. Dalam pembahasan kita disini, perubahan kecil volume zat cair yang menderita tekanan, umumnya diabaikan.

Rapat massa suatu bahan yang homogen didefinisikan sebagai massanya persatuan volum. Satuan kerapatan sdalam ketiga sistem satuan ialah: satu kiliogram per m-3 (1 kg m3), satu gram per cm3 dan slug per ft-3.

Rapat massa akan kita lambangkan dengan huruf Yunani r (rho):

Tekanan Hidrostatis

Tekanan Hidrostatis adalah tekanan yang terjadi di bawah air. Tekanan ini terjadi karena adanya berat air yang membuat cairan tersebut mengeluarkan tekanan. Tekanan sebuah cairan bergantung pada kedalaman cairan di dalam sebuah ruang dan gravitasi juga menentukan tekanan air tersebut.

Hubungan ini dirumuskan sebagai berikut: "P = ρgh" dimana ρ adalah masa jenis cairan, g (10 m/s2) adalah gravitasi, dan h adalah kedalaman cairan

Tekanan Udara

Atmosfer adalah lapisan yang melindungi bumi. Lapisan ini meluas hingga 1000 km ke atas bumi dan memiliki massa 4.5 x 1018 kg. Massa atmosfir yang menekan permukaan inilah yang disebut dengan tekanan atmosferik. Tekanan atmosferik di permukaan laut adalah 76 cmHg.

Aplikasi Tekanan

Tekanan diaplikasikan dalam beberapa hal dalam kehidupan, diantaranya:

• Pengukuran tekanan darah

• Pompa Hidrolik yang biasanya dipakai di bengkel-bengkel

Fluida ( zat alir ) adalah zat yang dapat mengalir, misalnya zat cair dan gas. Fluida dapat digolongkan dalam dua macam, yaitu fluida statis dan dinamis.

TEKANAN HIDROSTATIS

Tekanan hidrostatis ( Ph) adalah tekanan yang dilakukan zat cair pada bidang dasar tempatnya.

PARADOKS HIDROSTATIS

Gaya yang bekerja pada dasar sebuah bejana tidak tergantung pada bentuk bejana dan jumlah zat cair dalam bejana, tetapi tergantung pada luas dasar bejana ( A ), tinggi ( h ) dan massa jenis zat cair ( r )

dalam bejana.

Ph = r g h

Pt = Po + Ph

F = P h A = r g V r = massa jenis zat cair

h = tinggi zat cair dari permukaan

g = percepatan gravitasi

Pt = tekanan total

Po = tekanan udara luar 

Retailers Ready For Windows 7 Launch

No one is expecting lineups around the block or crashed e-commerce servers, but major retailers—both online and off—are preparing for Thursday's launch of Windows 7 with a range of promotions and special offers.


Their hope is that the release of Microsoft's newest operating system will jumpstart flagging PC sales.

Big box retailer Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) has placed Windows 7 front and center on its home page, and is offering free Express Shipping on all PCs with the OS pre-installed. The chain promises that consumers who order a Windows 7 machine by 11 a.m. Wednesday will receive delivery on launch day.

Best Buy also is touting an HP "PC Home Makeover" centered around Windows 7. Shoppers can purchase a bundle that includes a Windows 7-based desktop, laptop, netbook, monitor, and wireless router for $1199.

Not to be outdone, Web merchant Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) is promoting Windows 7 heavily, and is offering free Express Shipping. Early adopters, however, will have to pay $5.98 to receive the OS by Thursday, unless they are Amazon Prime members. Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade, Family Pack, is currently Amazon's best seller in the software category, based on pre-orders.

Not all retailers are up to date. J&R, a New York City-based chain that serves the Northeast, was still promoting Windows Vista on its Web site as of Tuesday morning—likely to Redmond's chagrin. It even offered an online product tour of Windows 7's widely maligned predecessor.

Users knocked Vista for its heavy hardware requirements, intrusive security measures, and incompatibility with older software. Its unpopularity contributed to a dismal year for Microsoft and a number of PC makers.

Windows sales were off 13% in Microsoft's fiscal year ended June 30, and plunged a whopping 29% in the company's fourth quarter. Those numbers should get a boost from Windows 7's launch, but whether it's a lasting one will depend on the ability of Microsoft and its retail partners to convince consumers that the new OS is much improved over Vista. Early reviews have been largely positive.

The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at $199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119. The full version of Windows 7 Professional is $299, with upgrades going for $199. Windows 7 Ultimate is priced at $319, with the upgrade version at $219.
