Well I guess this is one way of making sure gamer’s PCs can run Duke Nukem Forever; include the graphics card in the box! Nvidia has announced a limited edition Duke GTX 560 bundle, which includes:
- Limited Edition EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Duke Nukem Graphics Card
- Full Version of Duke Nukem Forever
- The History, Legacy and Legend of Duke Nukem Forever Art Book
- Limited Edition Duke Nukem Forever Mousepad
- Custom Duke Nukem “Radioactive” Belt Buckle
It’s currently available to pre-order for $250.

I want that belt buckle. Not much of a PC gamer though so this doesn’t interest me. It will be the PS3 version for me.

Mousepad? Who the hell uses mousepads these days?
herotoozero
lol, this is what happens when you publish a PC gaming article on a console website.

Haha, so true… which makes it sad…

Well, for me the era of mouse pads died with the era of rubber ball mice (which were quite nice).

That is actually a good idea, now i wonder why it has not been done before … or has it?
KeRaSh
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen such packages before.

Nice for those who want an excuse for an upgrade in the trouser department… :P

I might be tempted by this. My GeForce 8600GS is really showing it’s age, especially when playing The Witcher 2. All depends on how good Duke Nukem Forever is, as i could obviously get the graphics card itself cheaper on its lonesome…

Depends on whether you would need it too. The GTX 560 should be good for max settings at 1920×1080, but if your screen res is lower than that you could save yourself some doh and get the good ol’ GTX 460 (does the trick for me @1080) or even a HD 6870. You would save between £50-70.
I must admit though, £210 for a GTX 560 and a game isn’t necessarily a bad deal, especially with the extended warranty EVGA are giving with it. But a 560 Ti can be had for £190 on it’s own looking on Amazon :/

Well Im running a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC so good to know that I’ll be able to play this game at full spec.
Surely they wouldnt bundle the game with a graphics card that cant run the game at full spec @ 60 FPS

A powerful graphics card does not a gaming PC make

How about a SSD, 8GB Dual Channel RAM OCed, i5 2500k OCed to 4.5Ghz :)?

No, that’s a missile control system

Not a bad deal at all. It would have been better if the 560 had more interesting artwork on it in my opinion. It’s certainly a good idea for a games bundle though. Don’t see that many like it.
Still if I was going to spend that kind of money on a GPU, I would just go for an AMD/ATI one. Find all Nvidia products a bit pricey.

Will this graphics card run farmville ok?

Yeah but Duke will appear and piss on all your crops
