    I cannot get this to recognise the GT555m AT ALL

    I've read multiple threads here, not fo EFLC but for GTAIV and I've tried applying the same "fixes" but NOTHING works. Whitelisting, launch options (no restrictions etc), xliveless, and a bunch of other weird things. I even scoured the Steam forums but still, nothing.

    Is there a definitive fix to get this working?

    Thanks

    i finally got it recognize the GT555m. i have the newest driver, 285.27. whitelist, and it works for me. BUT, the fps are very low compared to nonsteam ones. i compared my fps on med-high settings, and the steam one gets 10 fps lower. still trying to fix this.

    So the non-steam version is better? Bleargh.
