Rage PC perfomance thread

OK so it's running fine for me now on my 6970, no texture popping or tearing and it looks great.
Only issue is that every few minutes it has some sort of temporary freeze. First it locks the screen and doesn't take any input, then the music track cuts out, then the sound effect track cuts out, then a few seconds later it just starts running normally again.
Really fucking annoying.

PC version installed. Took about an hour for the installation and the patch to get all done with. I updated my computer to the beta Battlefield 3 drivers Nvidia released (285.83).
I used this in my config file:
com_SkipIntroVideo 1
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_usecudatranscode 2
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4
Tunning an i5 2500k @4.2ghz
GTX 580
8GB RAM
I'm playing at 1080p with 4xaa (likely increase to 8x in a bit) and I'm getting a solid 60fps with almost zero texture pop-in. I notice a little bit when I'm turning very quickly but outside of that? None. Absolutely no problems at all running the game. I played for nearly an hour without issue.

Any news when ATI might be releasing updated Vista drivers for this complete abortion? I do commend id on choosing an appropriate title for their game: rage is about what I felt when I started the campaign and got a blurry mess that ran poorly for 1 second, froze for 5, and then repeated the cycle until I switched to the task manager and killed the process. At least the prerendered intro cutscene ran okay.
Over the past two years I've gotten into the habit of buying most of my PC games 6 months to a year after they are released. Not only do you get them a lot cheaper, but most of the issues have been ironed out by then. Looks like I picked a bad time to change my buying habits.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So, how does this run on older lower end PCs, like an E8500 with 4GB Ram and a GTX285 1GB card? I was pleasantly surprised with BF3's performance (at least in Rush mode, maybe it's all shit in Conquest, I'll have to wait and see) after being very disappointed with Red Orchestra 2, which side of the fence does Rage fall in, bugs aside?
well I installed the amd driver and set up a config and launch options and got this:

Removing everything left me with the same issue.
defragmenting the hard drive at the moment.
steam verify cache found nothing wrong.
*sigh*
why would it be picking up the wrong textures D:

So did anyone with this problem with a ati card find a fix for this?
Finally got the game playable but all I see is that, about to be day 3 of a unplayable game.

I'll also let you know how mine goes. ATI Radeon 5650 HD 1GB inside a Pavilion dual-core i5 laptop with 4GB RAM. Wow, my pipe is fast! 21GB in a little over half an hour. Recently upgraded from a measly ADSL line, so that's refreshing.

I have the same exact spec's minus the E8500, i have E8400 and i think it runs VERY well.
As long as you put in Angulars config and +vt_maxPPF 16 to eliminate the shitty pop in.
commissar said:
In your case I would try uninstalling your current drivers, running Driver Sweeper to fully clean out your AMD section, then re-install the latest RAGE performance driver package. It shouldn't do that with Catalyst AI turned off, but you shouldn't have the option to disable Catalyst AI at all anyway with the latest CCC so it sounds like you were installing directly over previous versions.
As for GhostRidah, I'm guessing you're on an iMac or MBP? To be honest I'm not entirely sure how to even go about fully uninstalling video drivers on a Mac.
GhostRidah said:
I'm curious why you have those options in CCC. I'm using the latest Rage drivers from AMD and don't have some of those particular settings.
I would uncheck adaptaive anti aliasing to start. If that doesn't do anything try setting mip mapping to performance.
*as suggested, get the rage drivers if you havent

I am on a pc, I did uninstall my old drivers and installed those Rage drivers, before that it would run at like 10 fps, now it runs at a constant 60fps but with those texture problems.Wallach said:

Sooooo, how do i disable or remove the automatic hardware balancing program that id installed? Over at that article on geforce.com they said they disabled it???
Finally figured out something real silly; no idea if this is just on my setup or what, but anyway:
I was getting some very minor slowdown (5-10 FPS) in certain spots if I turned my camera quickly, as if the increased load on texture streaming was too much. I noticed that other times, I couldn't reproduce this and the game was locked at 60 FPS no matter what I did.
I figured out just a minute ago that if I had any other programs open that I could alt-tab to in the background, that was causing my slowdown no matter what it was. In my case that was usually a Chrome tab (thanks NeoGAF) or the Steam pane. If I launch the game with them closed, the game won't let me alt-tab at all in Fullscreen and the game is locked at 60 FPS. I'm guessing that is because of CPU priority at play since the transcoding is all on the CPU with my AMD card.
Glad that is figured out.

Any fix for the green shadows yet?
Nothing works for me. Every configuration file and shortcut I tried give me horrible texture pop-in and streaming with the latest Rage drivers too. It's funny because even though the config tells the game to skip movies and enable console it doesn't do both... oh well.
The game is unplayable.

I wasn't getting it until I got to Wellspring, coinciding with my increase from 4x AA to 8x AA. I heard higher AA values may cause more texture pop, maybe it also causes this character flickering issue. Have you guys tried reducing your AA values? I'd try, but I'm not at home.
GhostRidah said:
I had the same corrupted texture tiling problem. I even thought I installed the drivers properly but I didn't...
What I did to solve the problem was this:
1) Acquire Driver Sweeper: here
1a) I'm not sure if you HAVE to do this, but I did this because I was having issues where Windows would try and install drivers before I had a chance to install the Rage ones: Tell windows to "Never install driver software from Windows Update:" like this
2) In standard Windows: Open your "add/remove programs" dialog from Control Panel, find the catalyst control center program, select it and click the "change" button. Choose the "Uninstall ALL software" option and continue to uninstall your AMD drivers and software.
3) Restart into Safe Mode: Open Device Manager and uninstall your driver software by right clicking your display device (check the delete driver checkbox). (I think you do this in safe mode, if it doesn't work, just do it in standard windows)
4) Still in Safe Mode, run driver sweeper, select AMD or ATI and analyze + clean all the crap. It may seem like it's hanging for a minute, but it'll finish and just close IIRC. Just open it up again and Analyze to see if there's anything left; there shouldn't be.
5) Restart into standard Windows and install the Rage Performance drivers.
It took FOREVER, but it actually worked for me, even though I thought I was uninstalling the drivers properly before (even following the AMD instructions :/).
Hope it helps!

This is unplayable still on my 5870. The constant random freezes are *infuriating* and every 5th or so freeze is permanent and I have to kill the process. I've tried every combination of driver/setting/config options I can find and it's still fucked.
I will never buy another ATI card again, lesson learned.

I recently started to accept that PC was becoming(had become?) the best platform for games now as the visuals have surpassed consoles for some time now, so I thought I'd start to consider PC versions ahead of the consoles again (especially as the visuals in RAGE are supposed to be amazing).
After the mess that this game has caused I'll not make that assumption again. I just can't be arsed with all this nonsense.
