Display being split and mirrored on one monitor.

So with the release of the new patch and direct x 11 features I decided to re-install Crysis 2 and start playing again. However, no matter what I try to do... my game always looks like this on my main monitor (I use two monitors).

Crysis 2 played perfectly fine 2 months ago, with the same drivers I am currently using. Nvidia 275.33. Every other game on my machine plays just fine as well (Lost Planet 2, Aion, Half Life 2, Diablo 2 are all the recent ones I can think of playing since my last re-format)

I have 2 GTX 480s in SLI, a Xeon 3530 at 2.8ghz (Equivalent to an i7 930) 12 GB of ram... game plays at great frame rates... it's just split and mirrored like the screen shots show on one of my monitors. This is all at 1080p.

I re-installed Crysis again, this time running it without an internet connection so it couldn't update to 1.9 and just run at 1.0, same story.

I disabled SLI, same story. I unplugged my 2nd monitor, same thing. I've changed the resolution and graphics settings to all sorts of random things... same thing. My nvidia settings in the control panel are all at default settings... and I have even re-installed my nvidia drivers. Same mirrored screen.

Stereoscopic 3D is disabled, of course.

So I have tried running Crysis 2 with patch 1.0, patch 1.9, patch 1.9 with directx 11 patch and hi-res patch, and it doesn't help.

I've searched far and wide for answers to this problem, but no one else out there seems to be suffering from the same problems I have.

Just tried running as administrator and different compatibility modes... nope.

Hopefully someone has a few more tips for me that might work, or there might just be something wrong with my registry and I'll have to re-install windows... yayyy.

Or maybe I am just herping the derp and this is an obvious fix, hopefully.
