Yep, RAGE is a mix of horrible low quality models and textures, and really nice high quality ones, all packed in a cheap linear "run and gun" gameplay.

id Software never claimed it was anything but a typical id game. Did anybody really expect that RAGE would be an apocalypse-like GTA game!?

I dunno. I at least thought it might look like something better than this. Especially with these nice store ads.



They're right. I really did have to believe it to see it.

Mega Texture does not mean that all the textures are extremely detailed, it a term for how they render the textures. In that there is one REALLY BIG mega texture they fit over the whole areas. The reason for this is to reduce memory usage and increase performance, in other-words mega textures is designed to let the consoles run the game at 1080p60.

They have said they could increase the size of the mega textures so it renders better on the PC, and that it would require them to re-bake the textures, whether they will or not they've not said.


So there is one big texture file instead of a lot small ones ? Mhmmm, that's nagative for Texture mods isn't it ?


btw. Why does this game always use 100% CPU load and only ca 30% GPU load ? (C2D E8400 @4ghz, HD6970)
There is a difference in FPS between AA off and 8xAA..... 50fps to 25fps.... but i still don't get it. Does ID Tech v5 Engine work like that? thats somehow just crazy.

Well. thats not the only probleme -.- my game freezes every 30sec for 1-2 seconds. Completly unplayeable!

It runs smooth here at 60FPS 5040x1050, no lag or stuttering at all.

The Texture processing is done on the CPU. You can activate GPU processing of the texture streaming in the games menu, see here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1236250-rage-support/page__p__18743528#entry18743528

Post subject:  I did the create cfg file
I did the create cfg file tutorial, set it up like so:

cvaradd g_fov 20
cvaradd hands_fovscale 1
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 8
image_anisotropy 16

When I set this cfg file in place my textures and bitmaps looked a TON better than that screenshot above. The one above is still using the console level graphics like the crap I was looking at, but according to an article I read this cfg file entry helps force the higher resolution files to be used.I did notice a big difference in quality of graphics once I did.

I have AA in-game set up at 16, resolution set at 5980x1080 and I get around 33-35FPS. I see people getting 60FPS+ on similar resolutions and I am confused. Aside from the nvidia drivers continuing to crashon me, I do have some beefy hardware and a hexa-core CPU at 4.66GHz and still wondering why so low FPS.

Any advice is appreciated - I like to max out as much as I can, but want as much FPS as I can squeeze at the same time. Being that RAGE is a DX10 game, these three GTX 580 3GB cards should be smoking through this game IMO.

RAGE isnt a DX10 game, its OpenGL. ;) Hve you enabled GPU transcode in game menu ? Try to add these two commands to your rageConfig file:

vt_useCudaTranscode 2
vt_cudaBudget 20
