    Just Cause 2 has support for some water swells that run using CUDA. The option should show up if you have a compatible card (and the GT 555m has support for CUDA), but I can't get it on my m14x R1. Has anyone figured out what the problem is?

    And yes, I'm definitely running the game on the 555m and not on the integrated card.

    Make sure you are using the DELL.com drivers and that you are following these steps.

    I am on the 301.42 drivers, and Just Cause 2 is running of the GT 555M and not the integrated graphics card.

    Go back to the DELL drivers, those are the most stable ones at the moment or your machine.
