Forum:Mass Effect 1- ~0% GPU usage?

I seem to have run across a most peculiar issue with Mass Effect 1 as I was trying to replay it; it doesn't seem to be using my graphics card. The game runs alright, but GPU usage stays about 0 and FPS readings are 0 (when, in fact, I'm playing the game just fine, albeit it does have little micro-stutters here and there). I also notice my CPU usage is much higher for this game as opposed to things like ME2 and ME3, such that I'm wondering why my GPU is being underutilized as it is. If anyone knows a way to fix this, it would be much appreciated.

Specs:

AMD Athlon II x4 640 Processor (~3.0GHz) 8GB RAM Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit NVIDIA Geforce GTX 460
