Below the break, you will see how Duke Nukem Forever, Alice: Madeness Returns, and RIFT look in 1080p 3D. It even shows a side-by-side comparisson of Alice with and without PhysX turned on. The card will be “afordable” according to Nvidia, and it sits somewhere in between its GTX 460 and GTX 560 Ti offerings. Thanks, RipTen.

Looks like most people use DirectX 10 with the Nvidia Geforce 8800 graphics card, Windows XP, Realtek HD Audio output and Intel processors.

Sounds vaguely familiar on this end as well.

Kotaku has it broken down for you here, and the full results complete with charts are through Steam.

Nvidia has an offer running, allowing you to get a free downloadable version of Batman: Arkham Asylum when you purchase one of four different graphics card from the company.

Not bad if you were wanting a GTX260, GTX275, GTX285 or a GTX295.

When we got our GeForce 7900 GTX we got Blood Money free, so this is not the first nor probably the last time Nvidia will run something like this.

Still, a free videogame to go along with something you are purchasing anyway is always a good thing.

Great. We just updated ours.

According to a report from VentureBeat, this next-gen batch will be so fantastic it’s “bound to drive the stock prices of the rivals involved either up or down through the rest of the year”.

Both will incorporate 40nm chips on the cards, and are expected to support DirectX 11 within a year.

AMD plans to release its new tech to coincide with the launch of Windows 7, while Nvidia are keeping mum on when its lovely chip will be released.
