I've been so pumped for this game for so long and absolutely f*cking LOVED what I played of it at Eurogamer.
Even so, all these PC reports are really putting me off. I REALLY want to press "Buy" and give Carmack my £30 before Friday's UK launch.
Someone tell me the PC version is going to be OK?
I have an i5 @2500k, GTX 560ti, 4GB RAM.. anyone with similar set ups OK?

Catalyst Control Center, the default tool used to configure AMD GPUs.Rewmac said:
I used it for my initial setup, but now spend all my time making game specific profiles in RadeonPro. Its the Swiss army knife for any Radeon owner.

yep new new driver fixed things for me and putting tripple buffer and forced v-sync elimated tearing.
Doing the old Quake style 180degree whip spin causes virtually no texture pop in ..its night and day difference from last night
yes this should have been resolved before release but within 24hrs isn't bad.

Your system specs are fine. It's only ATI cards that seem to have issues.
If you guys are using the new RAGE driver (lord help you if you aren't) for AMD that means it is using the confusing ass slider for Catalyst AI. Make sure that slider is set to "High Quality" or you might get some fucked up texture performance issues. Anything other than "High Quality" means Catalyst AI is on and doing shit.

What drivers are you using?luka said:
I have that program, but could someone give me a hint or what to do here what settings should I enable and so on, I'm not a PC expert I just play games on itNullPointer said:
I know I have i5 2500K 3.3GHz, 8GB RAMOne other thing should I download the latest Rage driver for my Gigabyte Radeon 6950 1gb card? Because I read something about it's only for configs with one GPU but I don't even know what that means.
Thanks for any help. I just want clear up everything I'm picking up my copy tomorrow.

Uh, this better not be the viewpoint of Id, because while the game is perfectly playable for me and smooth, I get texture popins at the edge of my screen like a motherfucker and dark/shadowy areas have an intense green tint. (GTX 580)

Other people here know far more than me - I've only had my gaming PC for a month now. But if I can get things to work as they should tonight I'd be more than happy to share my settings.Rewmac said:I have that program, but could someone give me a hint or what to do here what settings should I enable and so on, I'm not a PC expert I just play games on it
My plan is to apply the new AMD performance driver. Then create a profile that forces v-synch and triple buffering and see how it goes.
Should we also be tweaking cvars?

My GTX 460 is handling it like a champ, and every complaint I've seen or heard has been from ATI card owners. I wasn't aware NVIDIA cards were having issues too. My apologies.

i wonder if ID are pissed at ATI? if they'd put the right driver out in the first place, this wouldn't have happened... but then ID should have made sure the right driver was out before the game before just throwing out the generic 'make sure you have the latest drivers!' advice.bloodydrake said:

lqd said:So I used config posted earlier and it still stutters like a motherfucker.
Just to clarify game is installed on RAID0 and I did create folder (lol) for texture cache on SSD drive where my system is. I mean, what the fuck is this shit:
Looks like I'm done with this game till it's patched properly, fuck you id/amd or whoever is responsible for this fucking mess.
As far as those visible black lines throughout the textures (or "seams") this happened to me when I forced Anistropic filtering in Nvidia control panel, once I set it to Application controlled the lines went away.
all right. i'm off work, in the recliner waiting for ups to bring my copy. i hope it gets here before i have to go do my volunteer work at the bingo game tonight. i would at least like to get it installed and then play 30 mins or so. anyway, i have a question:
for those with a 360 copy, how does the install work. can you install just the first disc and then install the second one when it comes time? or do you have to install both? or can you do it both ways? probably too early for an answer but does it jump back and forth from disc to disc or is the second half of the campaign on the second disc completely? thanks in advance.

One other thing should I download the latest Rage driver for my Gigabyte Radeon 6950 1gb card? Because I read something about it's only for configs with one GPU but I don't even know what that means.

Yes go ahead at download the drivers. http://bit.ly/nKiOhN. If you only have one 6950 you'll be fine. Here are the steps for enabling triple buffering and Vsync in RadeonPro.
- Click the 'Add new profile' button. Its near the top. Looks like a paper with a green plus sign on it.
- Locate in Rage.exe and open it. If you downloaded via Steam the exe will be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rage
- Make sure Rage is highlighted in the profiles window on the left
- Navigate to the 'Advanced' tab on the right. Check 'Force Triple-Buffering (OpenGL)
- Navigate to the 'Visual' tab. Select 'Always On' from the 'Vertical sync control' slider (last option)
You should be good now

I only used CCC for my initial setup (dual monitor + HDTV), but I use RadeonPro profiles for just about every game I play. Yes, I have learned to love Triple Buffering.Rewmac said:

Running Nvidia regular drivers and the experience was awful.
Upgraded to the beta drivers and it was manageable at first. Then it just went to hell. Big time slideshow crap. Stuttering like crazy. Aiming became a chore. The game so far, to me, is extremely, highly, unimpressive and generic.
I'm on a 2600K and running 2 EVGA 580 Superclocked SLI setup at 1080p on my 52" TV. Runs like total garbage. id is going to lose some big time cred. over this.

If you have a retail PC copy, install through the disc. It'll make you enter the Steam code, but then it will install the game from DVD. Much faster.

Running fucking incredible now! Holy shit at the difference! Definitely not good to stumble out of the gate like this though. I hope somewhere, someone is getting a judo slam from Carmack. Also, the texture pop in on a quick turn in still present, but its much, much faster and far less distracting.
For those of you seeing lines in objects, I suggest setting your AA options to "Use Application Settings". That's what fixed it for me when I was tinkering earlier before the fixed drivers were released.
Will report back later, it's mutant shootin time!

Just watched the GameTrailers review.
Love the enemy movement... so varied and interesting, i.e.: they look like they're actually attacking and trying to kill you.

I think it will only show like that if you've been installing directly over previous driver versions from when you could actually do that. For a long time now CCC has not used those settings to control Catalyst AI, but CCC does not update right if you don't do a clean style install.
If you have the updated CCC settings (Performance/Quality/High Quality) you need to be on High Quality to turn Catalyst AI off.
