A lot of people didn't think it was ever going to happen, but Duke Nukem Forever finally went gold just recently. All systems are now go for the Gearbox-developed shooter's June release.

All three versions of the game -- PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 -- are getting special edition packs, but the one that nVidia is preapring has something that the console releases doesn't. The Duke Nukem Forever Fully Loaded pack from nVidia comes bundled with its own EVGA video card.

dnf-fully-loaded

Here are the pack's contents:

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

Duke Nukem Forever is slated for release on June 10 in Europe, Australia, and Japan and on June 14 in North America. It won't be the most hardware-demanding game ever, but if you think your old video card won't cut it then you can just get this bundle. You can check out the game's hardware specs here.

There is nothing POS about this card. Especially for people with a much older card/GPU.

The only complaint I have about this deal is it's not much of a deal. If you figure the game is $50 that puts the video card at $195 which....is spot on. That video card is selling for $195 so....where's the deal? The extras? Blah.

# power isn't all — xavis75211 2011-05-31 13:03

what about durability? heat resistance? if its sturdy physically, it'd be worth the $195. most other cards that are not very sturdy sell for more.

"which....is spot on."

The card itself it very much worth $195. But you can already get it for $195 outside of this "deal".

agreed nvidia totallly bombing their 4xx cards no flagship they ditched it and moved on to a slightly better card while ati/amd took the backseat and started working on a new card. meanwhile the 6xxx series is just a slight modification of the 5xxx series (something about using 4 of something instead of 5 which was considered useless and was better to go with 4) so their 7xxx series was being worked on while the 6xxx's were being released which will by the way will blow nvidia out of the water the next time they go at it

not being a fanboy its just nvidia just started eating @#$% after their 2xx cards :( all in all just see it as 5xxx was awesome but had
