Well, now that I did the config file fix, it’s at least playable. Still not very pretty, and I get the occasional texture pop-in, but at least it doesn’t look like a bad mushroom trip any more.
The game itself is getting better the more I play. The gunplay and AI are very good, but there’s still something so bland about the writing and environment that it’s hard to continue.
gibbelin, I have seen what you mentioned. I will have to investigate further when I get home.
For anyone who’s curious, it looks exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-od1QXnLOA0
Makes the pop-in in Oblivion look tame and subtle.

You got an ati card?
ATI fix doesn’t do anything except create incompatibility with other games besides RAGE, and nvidia cards are having the problem too.
Nope, most Nvidia cards are having the same problem.
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE WITH HQ TEXTURES AND REDUCED POP-IN[/SIZE]
update: possible mouse fix
Ive managed to get rage running very well with the highest quality settings on my ATI 5800 with a Q6600 @ 3.6 and 4 gigs of system RAM due to the following:
1. https://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1110Previewdriver.aspx
2. In windows 7, make a new path within your Local AppData (found in your user folder) by creating two new folders:
id software\rage
your new path should looking somthing like this:
C:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\id software\rage
3. add
+cvaradd g_fov 17 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showplayershadow 1 +m_rawinput 1 +m_smooth 0
to the end of your target line within your rage shortcut
4. create a .cfg titled “Rageconfig” with the following:

I enabled vsync and but disabled triple buffering in CCC. Do not enable AF or AA through CCC, let your rage config settings and graphics options handle them. I will continue updating this post if more improvements arise.
RAGE performance driver sucks and creates conflicts with other games.

Fixed texture pop for some 5000 series ATI users.
It’s just that I’ve been hearing (and seeing) that the ATI cards have it worse than Nvidia cards.
Dr. Perky gave me a solution that is infinitely better than gibbelin’s solution. It does require an nVidia card, though.
Triple buffering in the nVidia control panel.
Simple as that. The pop in is still there, but it is incredibly quick to load the right LOD for the textures, I don’t even notice it anymore.
Also, I’m fucking finally putting the CUDA cores in my card to good use!
ATI cards can triple-buffer too… Is there an actual difference?
I tried these drivers and they helped. I am editing my prior post. Thanks alot.
I don’t have an ATI card, so I didn’t know if their control panel would have that option. Or if that option would have the same result. It’s worth a shot, one would think it would have the same result, but shrugs.
Anyone find a way to improve the mouse input in the game menus?
Besides the graphics, my only problem with Rage so far is that it just sort of starts. Bare minimum back story and you get thrown right into the action. Games like this need at least the first five or ten minutes to explain the story before you get thrown into the meat grinder.
god fucking dammit, runs like shit
i’ve got 2 * Radeon HD 6950 (Crossfire)
anyone that can help me?
already downloaded the newest drivers
Take a look at my previous post and try disabling crossfire.
runs better on my card than a later generation high-end ATI
