Rage (i7-950 + GTX570)

On my i7-950 system with a GTX 570 1280MB. Game running out of a SSD.

Been playing it for an hour now, and it feels buttery smooth, and the FPS is solid @ 60fps. I did not find any texture popping or weird artifacts that hampered the gameplay in any way. Did notice screen tearing at times though (can be fixed from the nVidia control panel, but I'd rather get the fix in the game).

Too bad there doesn't seem to be any advanced graphics options to tweak as of now. iD and JC, come on and open up the advanced options on the PC. We like to make our PCs crawl.

I can't figure out why I'm having problems with this game. I have i5 2500k (4 core), GTX 570, 4 GB DDR3, the latest nVIDIA Driver (BF3 beta is what Bethesda forums recommends), GPU transcode ON, and Vertical Sync force disabled. That is literally everything Bethesda wrote on their forums for you to fix bugs on a nVIDIA card. I'm still getting a shit ton of pop-in textures and a disgusting amount of screen tearing. It looks like a VHS in fast forward at times! Idk what to do?

@IIFROSTFIREII Not sure. I have 12 GB of RAM. Maybe that helps me in this case. I read on reddit and SSD/HDD does not affect the performance much. Did you try the tweaks posted on geforce.com?

@IIFROSTFIREII For some reason, I'm not able to post URLs here. Try this... bit.ly / qD3Fyu

Actually someone from nVIDIA posted an article detailing how to force max pixels on textures. It eliminated a lot of pop-in, and some tearing. The game looks a lot better now. I like the id5 engine but it's very flawed. The textures should look a lot better from up close.

@IIFROSTFIREII For now I'm hoping iD fixes all the auto-detection issues, and gives us a better video settings screen. If Bethesda is to be believed, that is a work in progress and the next patch might have it.

HAHA looks just like my 3 year old Phenom black Edition and GTX 470 lol...

@IIFROSTFIREII the bf3 drivers sucks for rage. there is new one + a new rage update. get that and then try it out. btw that fast forward thing u said might be frame skips. u get screen tearings?

@JerryTheSquid I uploaded the video to show that the game runs fine on my system and it is not buggy on all systems. The video was captured with 8xAA. There is no AF setting in the game (although you could force it using nVidia Control Panel).

If you are wondering about how the game engine performs, a friend of mine ran it in an old laptop with GeForce 2xx series video card, and it was able to deliver 30+ fps almost all the time @ 1080p (it auto adjusts graphics, but it wasn't too shabby).
