Go into the files of Metro 2033 example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\ and search for the PhysX installer. Try that

D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Metro 2033\install for me. There is a file PhysX_10.02.22_9.10.0222_SystemSoftware. Run that

Your Sig is lying to me!

[Guest Philosophy]

Your Sig is lying to me!

Yes it is. My 980 is not in either. It changes so often I do not bother to update my sig. I buy one of every new high end graphics card.. I swap out a lot. depending on what other family members want.

If you don't want to update it just take it out or say "variable GPU".

Its because the installer didnt install physx even if you have an ATI card you need it installed. 

If an rr doesnt work then go into the game files C:\programefiles \THQ and you should be able to find a physx setup/installer in the metro2033 folder somewhere.

Your mistake was going AMD.  Nvidia ... play games the way they were meant to be played.

OP I wonder if I ever advised you to go Nvidia and you ignored me.  Just curious.

If AMD releases something in a video card that is equal to PhysX then I will be on board.

You need to install the latest PhysX system Software from Nvidia.
