Not sure, can you try choosing "CPU" then Apply, then switch back to GTS 250 and Dedicate to PhysX, then hit Apply again? I don't have a dedicated PhysX card so I can't say for sure if it works sorry.

ok i downloaded the beta 1.33 drivers and i get really poor performance with this game. sometimes only 30-40 percent gpu usage- it depends on the scene (driving and the mini gun scene have great performance 95%).

I also get absolutely zero gpu usage out of my dedicated physX card. it works in other games just fine.

Posted this vid of some gameplay on Youtube, its in non-S3D though but you can get an idea of PhysX and gameplay: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QPLU66QOIg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QPLU66QOIg[/url]

@DanielJoy, did you do the PhysX installer fix I posted in the 1st post? Then try re-selecting dedicated PhysX card.

yes just read and tried the fix, good job and thanks. i now have GPU physX!! the game runs much better now. Gpu usage in increased but not as good as metro 2033 or just cause. i notice some stuttering here and there. hopefully new drivers and the full game help improve this. I ran the benchmark with all settings on highest at 1824x1028 rez. i get 42 FPS in 3d!! very playable! this game is the real deal- very impressive with all the features like physX and 3d.

I've noticed convergence is locked. I hope they change that. A good default profile is important, but they should also give us the option to tweak it if we so desire. /ermm.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ermm:' />

However, I havn't had any shadow problems or anything. I've only got one 285 so it's slow with physx, but turn that off its perfectly playable. x-hair is 3d. Looks 3d ready to me.
I'm still running 197 era drivers. /teehee.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':teehee:' />

Hi Guys,

I am able to run this game fine in 3D Surround with no AA and Ambient Occ set to off. I am defintely not buying a seperate physx card for this. It isn't needed in my opinion. Excellent Physx. I think the benchmark is running poorly. My gameplay experience was much better than my benchmarking.
