i play this game on ATI i see no problem sure its a looooooooow end thats on a labtop but it dose the job

I can confirm with Radeon HD 5830 the only thing that works for me is to drop in the ati dll in the rage directory. Then you only get 15 FPS... and for a FPS I'm sure even JC would say that's unacceptable.

I'm not quite sure where the issue is, but sounds like its a driver related one. Here's to hoping ATI figures out the 5830's still are pretty broken with the game.

try this and let me know what happens +jobs_numThreads 0 or change it too -1 +vt_maxppf 8 and in CCC put v-sync always on and give it a shot no config.cfg needed and take out the DLL

Kaz, your setup doesn't cause any noticable change Thanks for the advice anyways... I concur with Timmac, so far the atioglxx.dll fix is the only thing working.

XD damn after hunting around trying too find a fix for you it seems thatthe 5830 is a fail on this game

It remains to be a patch fixing or comment developers.
I never rotations, the Radeon 5830 video card does not play, because The card I have for almost a year and well played all the latest gaming hits.

I think so, it is propaganda against ATI / AMD

Or begin to complain to the consumer society

Finally solved all my problems by installing this driver,

Now the game runs smoothly as ever and no texture popups or strange glare anywhere.
Some how seem to have fixed my audio problem too. I'm so happy!

This did not work for me unfortunately.

Still the same issue. :/

For those who have had no luck at all...try this for the last time.....I just got it working yesterday after 3 days of insane trial and error!! This was posted by blubb in some other thread..... Also disable HyperThreading if your CPU supports it!

this thread by r3dstar about a fix by MARTIAN BUDDY ..seemed to fix my 1 frame every three to four seconds... problem on my mis ati radeon 5830 card.
... in case the link doesn't work, this the message in full....

BIG THANKS TO MARTIAN BUDDY HD5830 FIX
UPDATED****-
Ok I am running at about 50, sometimes 60 FPS with this fix! On a 5830 to bee-yatch.
The world will appear to prebuffer, then it's snappy baby!
I gotta admit, RAGE is beautiful. This is the best looking game I've ever played. With that said, up close the textures are wonky. Medium to far, gorgeous. The rocky vistas are like they are in real life, and sooo smoooth!
FINALLY WORKING ON HD5830!

Hey, I finally got RAGE working on my xFx HD 5830. If you call working about 20-25 FPS and a little slow. But no more checkerboard, and textures "preload" but then they are there and dont go crazy or go away. Basically, it's playable finally.

Thanks to Martian Buddy, whom actually got it "fixed". Anyways, what he said worked for me. I'll post my system specs, if yours are similar, give this a shot, hopefully it works for you too. Thanks again to Martian Buddy!

My system Specs:
Win 7 64-bit pro
2x XfX Radeon HD 5830 in crossfire (of course crossfire disabled.)
60 GB SSD
MSI 890FXA-GD70 mainboard
16GB DDR3 RAM
750tx corsair PSU


Current fix to get RAGE on your HD5830 (media card rofllolz):

1)- download the 11.10 preview 2 drivers (if you aren't already rocking them.) Get them here:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...eDriverV2.aspx

2)-Make sure you have installed the latest RAGE patch off steam (this is done automatically)

3)-Next, remove any special config files you have made from any directories. (i.e- if you made a rage folder for the bigger 8192 textures, delete that etc.) You just want the base RAGE files there, nothing else.

4)-Download this file (atioglxx.dll) from the 11.6 drivers that Martian Buddy has uploaded at the following address:
http://www.mediafire.com/?00sqiiw486x73xx

5)-Place that file you just downloaded into the following folder:
Navigate to: steamapps\common\rage
Place the file in the /rage/ directory, where rage.exe is located.

6)-Start>All Programs>AMD Vision CC>Gaming>3d Application Settings (use the following settings
Smoothvision HD-use app settings, morphological filtering, filter=box
Smoothvision HD Ansio: use app settings
Tessalation: AMD Optimized
Catalyst A.I.: High Quality, Enable Surface
Mipmap: move slider to quality
Wait for vertical refresh (which is v-sync) Quality (always on)
AA Mode: multisample
Open GL: triple buffering
Hit apply and close.

RAGE Settings:
Move everything to the best it can be:
VSYNC -on
AA: 8x
Textures: Large
-etc.

Give it a shot, hope it works. It works for me and I'm on a 5830.
-----------------

Side notes (this is only thing in my steam RAGE launch options:
+set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +set com_allowConsole 1

Martian Buddy added this to his steam launch options:
+vt_maxPPF 8 +jobs_numThreads 0
(only use if the above settings dont work)

Lastly, Martian Buddy was on the 11.9 drivers. If none of the above works, simply uninstall the preview 2 drivers, and install the 11.9 and give it another shot. This should work for 5830 cards and make it atleast playable.

Have a good life, and try to get over this stupid buggy game...wow id dropped the ball and so did AMD/ATI.

Peace.

THNX, this is realy work i got 30-60 FPS after 0 fps in game!

NO CHANCES. If i put this DLL in the rage directory, game simply get an error and doesn't start. Btw im in 5830 too

I also have the "mobility 5830" in my laptop and the game runs fine for me at 1920x1080 - however, the laptop 5830 card is not based on the desktop 5830; rather, it is based on the same die as the desktop 5770.

Also, if I understand correctly, the low fps problem seems to be primarily occurring with dual core CPUs combined with AMD GPUs and Catalyst A.I. enabled.

With most AMD GPUs (mine as well), disabling Catalyst A.I. seems to result in black square artifacts on various textures.

I have an AMD x4 2,8ghz and a Radeon 5830. I tested endless driver/config/parameter combinations, no luck. With the 11.6er .dll in the rage folder i get ~15 fps, which is not playable. Without it i get 0fps, or the game runs fine with texture bugs if i disable catalyst A.I.

Funny thing is, i was able to play the game one time after i deinstalled the Battlefield 3 beta catalyst drivers and rebooted windows. I had an allright framerate, the textures just loaded very noticeably. After that i installed the preview drivers that came out shortly after release, and since then i have not been able to reproduce this.

Meh. Good thing there are other games to keep me occupied. I have NEVER not been able to play a game because of hardware issues. So Rage is one of a kind, i guess. Good for id/Bethesda?

Have you tried going into ccc and under 3d options....tunr v sync to off

Happy to help..

Works well, inhibition of the game gone, but do not like the luminous objects in the walls ...

Yeah I wish that we could get a fix for this. It makes the game unplayable when this comes both because of the blinding effect and that the frame rate drops to 10fps for me. It runs fine with plenty of fps anywhere the damn light doesn't show up.

Infuriates terrible, but a couple of beer solves the problem, the gameplay is smooth and about the glare forget =)
Only the fast mutants, a roadblock, as I do not want to go to the dead city ...
Average FPS my 23 to 45, are constantly jumping, but i can play.

Guys i keep having the same problems with that. Got Ati 5830 too, and this didnt help me solving theese issues. I didnt solved tham neither with the amd preview 3 drivers. I just got after the intro video and then PUFF, no chances to play. So what can i do?

Sell this POS and wait for the upcoming better releases. I gave up on it, no one seems interested in making this crap playable for the 5830 users except 5830 users. Not even a mod post in here, not that that would do any good. Just forget about this game.
