I can't find the Pixel Grid option like I would have in CS5. I just upgraded. Any ideas?

View > Show > Show Pixel Grid.

Note: The pixel grid is only visible when zoomed in on any document. You won't see it at 100% in most cases.

Another possibility, brought up by Lèse majesté, is OpenGL preferences. Do you have a video card which meets the minimum system requirements? If you view Preferences > Performance, under Graphic Processor Settings, are those enabled?

Exactly my point. I don't see that option anywhere. Updating my question to show this. – EGHDK Dec 24 '12 at 3:03
Then I'd suggest an installation issue. It should be right there in the menu, under Notes. – Scott Dec 24 '12 at 3:05
Damn. Guess I'll be re installing. – EGHDK Dec 24 '12 at 3:17
It's very unlikely that this is due to a fowled up installation. It's more likely he just doesn't have OpenGL/GPU-acceleration enabled. – Lèse majesté Dec 24 '12 at 3:31
@Lèsemajesté good point. Will add that to answer. – Scott Dec 24 '12 at 7:19
