I read that didn't really do any of that what I did was

I downloaded the latest BF3 Driver:

http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Results/38110

Make sure you check it before you download that driver, That works for my Mobile 540M graphics not sure what you use. So Double check

Driver Sweeper: http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Version-3-2-0/

Uninstall the drivers regularly make sure everything is uninstalled before the Actual Nvidia driver so when it tells you to restart theres no Nvidia left on the computer,

Start computer in safe mode. Run Driver sweeper Check mark what applies for Nvidia.

it will ask to restart say yes. Upon restart reinstall beta driver in ADMIN. After that restart computer again.

When it loads back up go to Nvidia Control Panel, Go to Manage 3D Settings, Click Program Settings Tab Check mark show only programs on computer, Hit Add Find Rage game. Option to Press High Performance Nvidia, Scroll down and make sure verticle sync says "use the 3D application settings" in the RAGE game make sure the GPU function is on. Game will run well from there.

This would be awesome if it A: Applied to all rigs, or B: solved all issues with the game. It does neither. While it is a good informational guideline it is not an end-all for the aches and pains people are experiencing.

Before you ask "When it loads back up go to Nvidia Control Panel, Go to Manage 3D Settings, Click Program Settings Tab Check mark show only programs on computer, Hit Add Find Rage game. Option to Press High Performance Nvidia, Scroll down and make sure verticle sync says "use the 3D application settings" in the RAGE game make sure the GPU function is on. Game will run well from there." what's that for

It's Called Whitelist.

If you whitelist RAGE in the method I gave the game will run fine.

Nothing in my post says its applied to every rig nor, anything other then Nvidia graphics card's thus is why my title says "NVIDIA"

Well then my "raging" at "RAGE" shall continue because there is no reason for it to cease until the issues are resolved.

Unless your internet connection is 150 Megs a second and you already tried my Guide then you have no room to type anything here. Try my method then complain. If I'm capable of playing the game with no problem at all with me explaining what I did I don't see why any other Nvidia user wouldnt have a problem unless their gaming rig is garbage.

So because you arnt havign any trouble with your game, everyone else who is still having problems, they are to blaim. I rarly have problems running games, yet this game crashes everytime after the intro. I have tried everything peopel have advised, unistall drivers, drive sweeper, install beta ones, install rage. No success, use the configfile, No success. My system requirements might not be recommended, but they are far better then the minimum, so i shouldnt have a problem, but i am. I get that testing a game for PC's is more troublesem than consoles because of all the configs, but that is what extensive beta testign is for. We have every right to RAGE abotu a game if so many peopel cant even get the game to load.

I'm sorry, I bought a product that my computer happily meets the minimum requirements for yet crashes to desktop on launch and requires about an hours googling/dikeing around with settings to even make work?

Why should I have to look to 3rd party guides and config fixes in order to make a game basically work, methinks a little more PC quality control was required.

Frankly they could release a patch that felated me to a happy happy death and I would still feel within my rights to rage, this is one puppy thats going back to the shop on a warranty reclaim, I might pick it up on a steam sale for a few bucks, way down the line.

I was shocked that after the instal of this driver, it disabled Vsync and set SLI to 1 core (same as off)
Disabling something is NO SOLUTION !
