Duke Nukem Forever’s PC requirements released

Do you think your computer can handle the awesomeness of Duke Nukem Forever? I don’t think so. But if you believe your gaming rig has enough power then you can take a look below at the requirements your PC will need to have to even run the game. The requirements shown first are the minimum requirements needed while the second set are what the recommended settings should be.

From the looks of things the settings aren’t too severe so most people shouldn’t have too much of an issue getting Duke to run on their computer. Then again I don’t use a PC to game very much so for all I know this could require an entirely new set of equipment to run. Not really. Either way check out the specifications needed below:
