PC gamers who have been waiting for 15 years to play Duke Nukem Forever can now decide if the long delayed first person shooter will run on their gaming rigs. Developer Gearbox Software has now revealed the minimal and recommended PC system requirements for the game.

We are still awaiting for Gearbox Software to release word about the much anticipated and promised demo for Duke Nukem Forever which should give everyone a chance to see if the 15 year old wait for this game is going to be worth it.
