I have exactly the same problem, and I also have an NVIDIA card.

I hope you guys still check this thing. I bought the game the other day and had the exact same problem. I tried a few things, and it turned out to be my dual monitor setup. I disabled my second monitor and the problem was fixed just like that. Beyond that I've had no problems running the game so far so it seems like the dual monitor setup was what was doing it. Hopefully that fixes you guys' problem as well. If nothing else, if someone else gets the same problem maybe this will help.
