It uses the GPU instead of the CPU for transcoding the textures.

I think that's probably just reporting how much system memory is shared with an IGP (in your case, there not being one or it is disabled). There should be a distinct section in the console log to do with initializing your discrete graphics card.Zefah said:

It uses CUDA to transcode the megatexture data faster. I assume this is a Good Thing.
I'm going to bed. Hopefully this is all fixed tomorrow. Situation is CRAY CRAY over at id probably, which sucks because I also know what it feels like to finally get over crunch time. This is not what they wanted to see. Me either.

If you have an ATI card run the hell away from this for now and don't look back. If not I'd wait for impressions from gamers with a similar setup, a definitive patch, and/or the sales bin.Reuenthal said:
$60, for this.

Doesn't seem to be making a difference. And some can't even launch the game.derFeef said:

Is this sarcasm? Outside of Uncharted, none of those games had a smooth frame rate...
NullPointer said:
I have an nvidia card but it is old. 9800gtx. Also an old e8400 processor. Based on what I knew about the objective of 60 FPS on consoles I expected this to run relatively well on my relatively old hardware but recent news I heard about a shitty PC port are distressing. Especially since I expected better from this company.
So based on what I have should I get it? Is it still a shitty port in general even without Ati cards where it is especially bad, or is it just bad with them?

Sooo is this game just straight up fetch questing? An hour in and I'm bored. It sure is pretty though.

I said fidelity IE: attention to detail. All those games have crazy layers of detail to them. They would actually fatigue my eyes.
I'm not talking about framerate

Yeah, just look at the Steam forums. Seems both camps have problems. I have an Nvidia and I'm having massive issues.
Carmack posted "make sure you have the latest drivers installed" which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed.
Not playing this game until they fix it. I did stick with it for under an hour and so far I can see myself really enjoying the game once these problems are fixed.
I feel I should have just gotten the game on the PS3, despite the loading times.

At this point I feel so burned (from an id game no less) that I couldn't give you unbiased advice. But I think its fair to say that this is a console game first and foremost.Reuenthal said:

But the guy you quoted said "This game runs insanely smooth that my eyes hurt. Weird."
Running smoothly would be framerate, not visual fidelity? I agree with you about visual fidelity, but Rage runs butterly smooth which I assume is what he meant...

That's a bit of an overreaction? I'm complaining too but I am not getting emotional about it.

Which version looks the best? PS3 or Xbox 360?

I paid $60 for something that doesn't function, so no I don't think I'm overreacting. Yeah, that sticks in my craw. And it'd be one thing if I thought I was taking a risk with the developers, but this is id here. I didn't think this was possible.Thunderbear said:
But hey, learning experience I guess.

It looks the same on both. ID knocked it out of the park on consoles. Console master race confirmed.Lovely Salsa said:

It's a shooter with very slight hints of RPG and open world mixed in. ID never said it was anything else. They've been very straight with the media that this is first and foremost a shooter. And in that area it seems to be living up to its name, there's plenty of weapons, gadgets, great enemies and so on.

kinda weird they managed to get RAGE working perfectly fine on an Iphone, 360 and ps3 but fucked up the pc release.

But it is going to work, give it a day or two and you'll have your game. I'm annoyed too, but maybe you need to run into some real shit in life to realize what a small issue this is. Or if you have, maybe just put things in perspective.
I agree it's really bad to release a product like this, but I assume it's going to be fixed quickly.

I thought that was Crytek? Short attention span!
Developers are focusing their attention where the big bucks are. I thought I made a smart choice by going PC because it was developed by ID but at this point I wish I'd gotten the PS3 version instead.

Also to be fair the SR2 port was done by a different department than the guys that made Witcher 1&2.

The current fad for the "in" crowd is Demon Souls. If it's a blockbuster experience, then it's crap. Now all of the sudden games need to be insanely hard (and cheap) to be a good game.
Gamespot: Demon Souls 9.5
Rage: 8.0
That's my impression of what's going on. It's going to be really interesting what happens to COD MW3 and Uncharted 3. I'll enjoy U3 no matter what (as I will Rage based on what I've played so far) but I feel the games media is a little club that all are influenced by peer pressure.
As long as the games I like keep getting made, I don't really care. I'm happy that lots of people love Demon Souls, it really does have some innovative parts about it too (I just think the praise is a bit over the top).

Running on GTX 580, 3D 120hz monitor, (8xAA, 2xSS, 16xAF, Triple Buff and Vsync all set with Nvidia Inspector). EDIT: Using Nvidia 285.38 BETA drivers.
Game is running silky smooth with frame rate locked @60 with no dips. Other than some blurry textures close-up and some minor pop-up occasionally when making quick turns I haven't had any problems with the graphics. I'd definitely like to increase FOV and make a few tweaks, but I'm not having any game breaking issues so far.
So far I've taken on Ghost/Wasted bandits and mutants. The starting pistol is relatively weak, but if you aim low and take out their legs you can close in fast and take them out with a quick melee. The enemy animation and hit detection is pretty damn awesome. I've had instances of multiple bandits hobbling and crawling while I rushed them to apply the coup de grâce with my Fists of RAGE. Fun!
Oh well, I hope you folks that are having problems running the game can get the issues resolved quickly so that you get a chance to play it. I'm having a blast so far and it's a shame that id botched the launch of the PC version so badly. I'm going to get in another hour or so before I shut it down for the night.

The latest beta drivers from NVIDIA made a huge difference for me. With the old drivers I was using, which came out a few months ago, the game was constantly freezing up and glitching out like crazy. With the new drivers it's smooth as butter, no problems.
Definitely grab them if you haven't already.
