    i had the same prob when i first ran it, turns out u need to open nvidia control panel and open 3d tab, then select the dedicated card as 'preffered gfx processor' for the specific game... it then becomes an option during game startup.

    hope the fix was as simple as mine :)

    This worked for me. Had to change my global settings from auto to my 540gt.
