So why does the game have problems with me an Nvidia user? I have no idea what those new drivers were for though they made every one of my games worse, crashed constantly and completely wrecked my computer for a few days and forced a friend of mine to completely replace his mobo. Actually made the texture loading worse than before for me with this game.
We would have to know what hardware your running to try and answer that question.
I have all kind of Nvida video cards, from 6600GT, 2x8800gt, 2x8800GTS, 3xGTX260, GTX295 & 2xGTX480.
I haven't tested the game with all of those but if i have a card like yours I could test to see if I can help.
I seriously doubt a video card driver caused anyone to loose a motherboard, most likely they had other problems to start with.
Edit: "I forgot" never mind I see we have already talked, your just a hater of the game or have other problems with your setup.
There is no way a GTX560 should have problems running this game, clear out any old rageconfig.cfg, do clean of video drivers
turn off SLI are just a few things I would do in your case. If seta was used in a config for settings those they will have to be reset.
So a clean install of the game would be best. Uninstall then check if all was removed, delete anything the uninstall missed for Rage in the stream folder.
Starting New/clean for everything, game Rage and video drivers. Game should run fine with little to no changes after a clean install with the patch update & 285.62 WHQL.
