    So I started up ME2, and saw a weird "PhysX > CPU" thing in the upper left corner. A bit of digging later and I discovered that it's a setting in the Nvidia control panel. Unfortunately, it appears to be a menu/setting I don't have. Here's what it's supposed to look like, and here's what mine looks like.

    Anybody know why this is happening?

    I hate to bump a thread without reason, but I would like an answer if anybody's got one.

    Which driver are you using? Have you tried another?

    EDIT: Alright, I updated my PhysX driver and that fixed it, guess I didn't have the most up-to-date after all.
