Some of his commands worked, some didn't. In the end, however, I've yet to see any substantial difference between FusedCore's config and default.

I'd say these are some pretty good comparison shots.

But honestly other than the textures I don't see any other differences.

@BC2 Cypher:

Those screenshots have already been called into question--the 'default' shots are substantially blurrier than most people's default video settings, so with such a powerful system I don't understand why his defaults would look so much worse.

None-the-less, it seems the majority of people's default video options, with the appropriate settings in the video menu of course, look very, very close to the HD screenshots in the comparison.

Except that they're "faked". The game most certainly does not look that bad using in-game settings only.

He lowered either the LOD or the texture page size in the "no config" shots to artificially make it look worse than the game actually does using in-game settings. Shouldn't be surprising since his whole MO seemed to be to mislead people (intentionally or otherwise) that aren't very technically versed themselves.

Anyway we should stop posting here (I know - I need to listen to my own advice) so it can just die.

Those aren't default high settings. Mine look like the more detailed picture. I see no difference.

I have a quick question. I'm using the mid-end settings from the original post, which seems to have fixed some of the rendering issues, but I'm still getting some screen tearing. Is there any way to fix this by editing the config file? I've even tried turning on v-synch in-game and I still have the issue.

Ive tried everything posted and im still getting popping textures

my specs are:

I2500k
MSI GTX 560ti OC
Corsair 8g ram

using nvidia driver 285.62
Installed patch
my fps is 60

and my rage config is:

Please try starting RAGE once with +com_safemode 1 in the command line and remove any custom rageconfig.cfg. This will reset all your videosettings and reconfigure them when you start the game again normally.

By the way those config files from FusedCore have a lot of stuff in them that doesn't do anything at all or is completely unnecessary.

Just a small clarification, make sure you actually load a saved game, or start a new game, in Rage while using 'com_safemode 1' in order to make it take effect.

i've finally got round to playing Rage...and i'm loving it! The amount of detail is awesome.

2600K 4.80Ghz
GTX580
16Gb Corsair

i think the problem some people are getting with texture popping could be down to hard-drive performance (Rage streams textures on the fly). I have Steam installed on a separate 2TB hard-drive, i don't have any problems, even though the hard-drive is in constant use when-ever i move in Rage.
Pity Rage doesn't take advantage of a large RAM.

Great I didn't know that! It already resets my video options whenever I start RAGE and go to the options immediately, I don't have to load or restart. So do you know what the difference is?

[broken85]

I'm not sure--perhaps something has changed since last time I tried resetting. First I loaded with Safe Mode and then quit again, and noticed that nothing had changed.

Then I loaded with Safe Mode and loaded a game of mine, then quit, and everything was reset. I also tried it with starting a new game.

Perhaps going to the options menu does the same thing? I guess I should have tried that

He used a X4 965 at defualt clock speed, and ddr1600 with 11-11-11 timings,lol.
On top of how funny that is, he posted placebo config changes, as if they did something.

Aside from texture size ( which you can set in game now)and performance tweaks like PPF, and +jobs_numthreads, none of his so called custom configs did diddly.

Hey, I have an alright computer.

OS: Windows 7 (32-Bit)
RAM: 4.00GB
Processor: AMD Athlon (tm) II X2 255 Processor 3.10GHz
Processor Cores: 2
Graphics Card: Asus AMD Radeon HD 6770
DirectX Version: 10

I can easily run Rage using the using the default settings or any of the 4 config files, if I set:
seta jobs_numThreads 0 (Instead of 1)

If it's at 1 I can only run the low-end config file. However, do matter which file I use, no matter is the numThreads variable is set to 0 or 1, no matter if it lags or not, there are always square patches of graphics that shouldn't be there. What can I do???
