Duke Nukem Forever System Specifications May 3, 2011

2K Games has announced today on their twitter feed and blog, exactly what the PC specifications are for the highly anticipated game, Duke Nukem Forever.

So, without further ado, here’s what you’ve been waiting thirteen years to read.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 Ghz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 @ 2.0 Ghz
Memory: 1 Gb
Hard Drive: 10 Gb free
Video Memory: 256 MB
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 7600 / ATI Radeon HD 2600
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4 Ghz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 @ 2.6 Ghz
Memory: 2 Gb
Hard Drive: 10 Gb free
Video Memory: 512 MB
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS / ATI Radeon HD 3850
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

OTHER REQUIREMENTS & SUPPORTS
Initial installation requires one-time internet connection for Steam authentication; software installations required (included with the game) include Steam Client, Microsoft DirectX, Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (ATL), Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, and AMD Dual Core Optimizer. (AMD optimizer required only for specific AMD processors to run the game correctly, but installs for all of them.)

Those are some pretty steep specs. I like how the Dual Core Optimizer is included since it usually fixes most gaming problems for people with multiple core AMD processors, but it’s only needed if you’re using Win XP. It won’t even install if you have Vista or 7 installed.

Duke Nukem Forever will release June 14th, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
