Runs butter smooth on 8800GT. But the texture poping.....every time you turn it streams from 0. Its awful. GPU transcoding doesn't seem to affect this. Disk activity is basically non-existent, no hickups while this happens.
These set overall quality level, lower on the HDP and higher (percentage) on the DCT with lossless support.
(However the textures are what they are so you can't expect miracles.)
vt_usecudatranscode 2
This is the CUDA function but 2 enables all of it not just smart mode.
vt_maxppf 1024
vt_maxlockedpages 256
These are what I'm struggling with now, a value of 2048 and 1024 respectively will cut down texture streaming to less than a second but will also cause possible glitches and stability problems so I'm testing various compromises here.
(This is the number of paged\cached megatexture pages or what to call them.)
This is max texture resolution, again the textures are what they are and you can not get them to be better than that other than with some small tricks but do try lower values like 64 for "fun" if you want.
Use uncompressed data (If available, it's not.) instead of compressed and compression method.
(Tab two times will cycle compression levels, that's also how I found the CUDA = 2 thing.)
vt_maxaniso 16
Tell the megatextures to use full 16x AF filtering instead of 2x, sharper unless forced via CCC / NVCP already.
vt_restart
Change anything with the virtual textures / vt and you'll need to restart them, best is to execute the config (exec rageconfig.cfg for example.) in the main menu.
Old Doom 3 / IDTech4 commands, LODBias has a noticeable difference at negative and positive values, zero / 0 being neutral and negative sharper with positive as blurrier/smoother.
Also removes compression but I think it does nothing as this is handled above via the megatexture / virtualtexture settings.
(And though I don't use it allow in-game screenshot functionality at best quality.)
rageconfig.cfg (Rage\base\rageconfig.cfg - this file is loaded at start and thus convenient.)
how could someone expect borderlands/fallout type of game from this. Its ID => pure shooter
don't know if i am weird but i like the game (love car combat)
- dont have any weird problems with graphic
Running the game on a machine with I7-2600K 3.8GHz and an ATI 6970. Guess what, first it kept crashing right after the cinematic for the campaign. I install the hotfix drivers, now I get to play 1 minute and then crash. AWESOME. It even manages to crash my video card drivers, not just the game. ID tech, you guys are the best.
How can they miss testing the game on ATI cards. What. The. Fuck.
I feel scammed. Fucking scammed. John Carmack.....why? You just lost every ounce of your elite status as a game programmer. This game is shit, plain and simple.
Visually, one of the worst looking games that has come out in 7 years. Far Cry looks better than this. This game has the worst texture pop in, textures (we're talking Quake 2 / Sin quality, possibly low end Quake 3 here) I have seen yet on a modern game. Doom 3 is visually and gameplay wise superior to this game in every aspect. Absolutely no HDR or lighting, nothing modern. The desert has no shadows, nothing casts shadows it's all static.
OMFG.I am so pissed. I spent $60 on this hunk of dog shit when money is tight. NEVER again. Gaming on this very night, the 4th of October, has died. Gaming is dead, long live the king. The game has no direction, no compelling storyline, visuals that reek, terrible mouse controls, no console, no tweakablity. What the fucking fuck is this and how did it get past John Carmack's brain? Too much cell phone programming. I actually cannot force myself to load it back up, it's THAT bad.
This game aint got shit on Duke Nukem Forever. I'm just awe struck. I told my nephew tonight gaming has died. The true pc gaming is dead forever, fuck your texture packs, fuck your patches. This is a Xbox 360 game ported sneakily to look like a pc game. It's a wolf in sheeps clothing. No goddamn excuse that having a sandy at 5 ghz, 12 gigs of ram, and a GTX 480 @ 580 with 1.5 gb of ram looks like this. I want my $60 back motherfucker!
Whoa, worst than DNF?

Thanks man,that tweaked cfg file made the texture popups more bearable(not so visible anymore)...for me anyway.
Now to wait until someone fixes the flickering and ADD SLI/CFX SUPPORT then I'm all good.
this is the first ever game in all my life thats given me a headache , made me feel dizzy and forced me to stop playing after 20minutes before i be sick :S
i was fine with doom 3 all the quake games etc wtf, btw i get a solid 60fps to

I'm warning you guys. I admit 100% I was wrong about this game and it sucks plain and simple. I'm trying to warn you.
Update: apparently a driver update for Radeons, purported to fix some of the problems, is due later today now here! Investigating now – expect updates shortly. This still doesn’t answer the question of why the game was released in this state, of course – was it not tested on older/current drivers?
Update 2: nope, new driver doesn’t seem to help in any meaningful way. The framerate might be a little better, but the texture/character flickering is awful. Even the map keeps popping out of existence. Gonna have to give up on this game for now, I fear.
I wonder what derpmack has to say about this...

Aren't there such dissatisfied users alongside pretty much every other major AAA title? OK, he disliked, it sucks by his standards. But what does this prove? A large portion of the reviews released so far are pretty positive. I can fully judge the game's quality when I play it. So far, I've seen lots of people jumping on the hate-wagon after having seen only a small batch of screens without having played even a single minute of it.
Theres no winning with some people. Its ether the gfx look crappy.If the game is too pretty then you bitch about getting bad FPS. If your gonna bitch then bitch about gameplay or bugs.

It must be so sad for him to only look at graphics.
But it's the only way to review the whole game.
Its not like Id and Bethesda advertised this as something new and different for them is it ?
I mean sure its classic id,but in this day and age some gamers have come to expect something more for their money besides good shooting.
Let me say this :
The game has good gameplay,the weapons feel nice,its nice shooting people and sticking wingsticks in their heads.
But :
- The story that got me hooked from the intro never takes off,it goes nowhere
- The sound is weak and makes weapons feel weird.The sound isnt good enough for the good things you do on screen.(especially the AR)
- The RPG elements feel tacked on,it feels like they wanted it to be a large part of the game but lost their way in these 7 years and said fuck that.
- The multiplayer is kinda dissapointing,there is nothing wrong you see,but it feels like a weird choice for this studio,who made Quake 3 .
Oh yeah and then there are the GFX....but ive played it on 360 so it looks quite good and its buttery smooth,shame about the pc tough.
What i want to say is that the game has many shortcomings and GFX is the most insignificant .
