I buy and instal RAGE GAME , also instal validate update. First i have problem : game immediately ends after cutscene. This I improved when I update the graphics driver. Now I can go into the menu after the intro scene and sets things (video, audio, etc), but when i chose new game and vant to play game give me very very low fps? about 1frame in 5-10sec. ?! I also set very low graphic in game (800x600, no antialiansing, no vsinc) and same frame ratio.
Any help?!

My machine:
cpu: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (about 2,2GHz)
graphic: Saphire Radeon HD 5770 (1GB DDR5, 128bit)
ram: 2x1GB DDR2 667MHz , dual chanel
m.b. : Gigabyte GA-MA-790X-UD3P
os: Win XP SP3
hdd: fre space on sistem partition 10GB of 40GB
hdd: fre space on install disk 700GB of 2TB

install http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU122AMDCat1110PreDriverV2.aspx

After set AI in ccc i have beter performance ( playable frame rate 25+ fps) but only when objects close to me (rock, wall etc) , and with softly moves. When i stend in front far objects i have frozen picture more then 10sec.

Try this on your steam library rage right click properties set launch options

+com_allowconsole 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +set m_rawinput 1 +set jobs_numthreads 0 +cvaradd r_UseDynamicEnvironment -1 +cvaradd r_dimShadowForceHighQuality 1 +cvaradd g_fov 10 +cvaradd r_dimShadowResolution 1280
and let me know

May also improve you speed if you go into properties of Rage in stream and verify integrity of game cache.
While there also run Defragment cache files.

Whoa brings me back, I once had that CPU too. Anyways, it's a dual core, and the game has problems with dual core CPU's.

The only thing I know that might help you, is to add the following line of text to your launch properties for the game in Steam:

+vt_maxPPF 8

dude thanx , i dont know what this code mening , but now i can play 1280x740 , 8xAA, HIGH as. about 20frames i gues.

your welcome bud thats why we are here to help each other on this mess..
if that worked for you it means you prolly got the same system specs as mine try this on your rageconfig

//reduced texture streaming
vt_maxPPF 16

//level of detail tweaks
image_lodbias -0.5
image_anisotropy 16
vt_feedbacklodbias -1

//force vsync on
r_swapinterval 1

seta vt_pageimagesizevmtr "8192"


com_showFPS "1"
con_noPrint "0"

remember ati card at least mine my xfx 5770 1gb on the game settings video textue cache to low and is ok

I play now, thanks to mettal 1920x1080 , all on HIGH, only vsinc =off , and no diferences in fps ( about 20hours playing)
can not be better
Its posible to view frame rate in game (console , etc)?

I wil try this.
Thanks

Yea here to view fps or use fraps but with this command in your rage folder config should work
com_showFPS "1"
con_noPrint "0"

@mettal
I try commands that you post me, nothings happens except that in next game reading (loding betwen levels , instide-outside, etc) i have grey object all aroud (no texture). I fix it when change texture size from large to small (somting like small - large in game settings/video).
Command that ned to show me game fps in my case dont work, i have in up right corner text fps = 0 , that is not change during the play.

Great game , i just finish it.

kool is an open ending i guess it could be better
