My PC:
AMD Phenom X II 555 (Dual-Core)
ATI Radeon HD6850
2 GB RAM
Windows 7
Today I stumbeld accross the thing of one user who suggested installing CCC 1.6. And well I tried because I tried every other thing.
I uninstalled the "old" 11.10 driver. Started in Winows in safety mod. Used Driver Cleaner pro to get rid of everything.
Started again. Installed 1.6. And what I saw when I started RAGE was amazing...it worked.
I tried some cfg and commands to get the best performace. Here is what I use.
Commands:
+com_skipIntroVideo 1 +cvaradd g_fov 12 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +image_anisotropy 4 +image_usecompression 0 +g_showplayershadow 1 +m_smooth 0
Cfg:
seta com_videoRam "1024" //sets the Video Card memory Set this to the amount you have in MB
seta com_maxfps "60" //limits the frames to 60 can be changed to what you desire
seta image_anisotropy "2" //Using the highest setting here but you can set as 2, 4 or 8
seta image_usecompression 0
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" //filtering for light maps
seta image_preload "1" //Use preload images when ever possible
seta image_lodbias "-1" //LoD settings
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "1" //Sets up for using HQ gfx
seta image_ignoreLowQuality "0" //ignores the low textures
seta image_useCache "1" //Enabled Cache to allow the textures to load properly without popping
seta image_cacheMegs "125" //Cache size in Megabytes
seta image_cacheMinK "50" //Cache minimum size in kilobytes
seta r_swapInterval 1 //VSYNC 1 enabled, 0 diabled
seta r_useHighQualityPostProcess "1" //For High Quality post proccessing
seta r_shadowsHighQuality "0" //For High Quality shadows
seta r_displayRefresh "0" //keep it so the engine doesn't double render a frame
seta r_renderer "best" //highest rendering options
seta r_multiSamples "2" //Set this to 16 or 8 if you're having low-fps as 32 is the Max Multi-sampling
seta r_useHBAO "1" //Ambient occlusion
seta r_useRenderThread "0" // 0 Disable or 1 Enable threaded rendering useful for newer cards to increase performance.
seta r_visDistMult "1"
seta r_useMotionBlur "1" //use blur
seta r_skipBump "0"
seta r_skipSpecular "0"
seta r_skipNewAmbient "0"
seta r_shadows "0"
seta r_cgFragmentProfile "best"
seta r_cgVertexProfile "best"
seta vt_lodBias "-1" //LoD settings
//below is cache settings
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 "8192"
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly "8192"
seta vt_pageimagesizeunique "8192"
seta vt_pageimagesizevmtr "8192"
seta fc_maxcachememoryMB "1024"
seta vt_maxPPF "8"
seta com_skipIntroVideo "1"
seta cg_usecompression "0"
seta cg_useprecompressedtextures "0"
I am not using the CACHE-Directory.
Really hoping this can help somebody.
Funny thing though, 1.6 must have something in the drivers thats better than 1.10, probably Catalyst AI working properly.
Cheers
