    i bought a retailed cd of borderlands and the optimus driver detected automatically but when i lost the cd and bought another copy this time on steam when i play borderlands is lagging then i found out that the optimus drive does not detect the steam games. anyone has the same problem?

    oh and i tried to do it manually right clicking and running it on nvidia but the icon of the game does seam to show that its a game and the option of manually setting it to use the nvdia driver is not shown.
