So after downloading RadeonPro and forcing v-sync, the game would come to a halt every few seconds (even the music would stop) then start back up again for a few more seconds. So I then forced triple buffering and the game won't even make it out of the splash screens. Not cool.

I dunno. Game seems to change tint depending on the area. I went into the sewer near the beginning and everything changed to a very green tint. As for the pop in, it's worse on consoles. The pop in for me is like a slight flicker on the textures for me on the edge of the screen as they quickly load in.

I am LOL
Its a laptop so maybe the drive is a lot slower. Fortunately I am reading up about dark souls as I ponder whether to open my 360 CE ! I only want to open it if 360 version is same ballpark as PS3 for graphics (so far reports are 360 is worse framerate but I want to see digital foundry or something, as I dont care if its a minor difference but if its like 50% difference...)

Oh...well if that's true then that's kind of lame. While it isn't game breaking it's pretty distracting seeing textures take a (very short) moment to load when turning around. Even more annoying to me though was how insanely green that first area was (the first mission, in the dark areas). I thought for sure there was something wrong...is it that green for everyone in that first mutant hideout when you first enter it?
And has anyone figured out how to add a command line to the config file to make aiming "toggle" instead of "hold"?

Yes I def. tried that. It didn't run smooth at all with just one enabled. Everything slowed down then. Maybe needs just new drivers and that's fine with me I can wait. But honestly it just doesn't feel or look like a AAA title to me so far.

I have awful texture pop-in running on just a single 580....no pop-in on 580 SLI...however it still runs poorly.

Man this debacle with the PC release was quite something. One of the only times I'm happy to be getting the console version over PC. Now just waiting for UPS to deliver this thing. Any hour now...

k but I think thats the exception not the rule with new drivers.
did they uninstall all ati software first? ATI drivers are notorious for messing up if you overwrite existing drivers
Got the PS3 version today.
After 2 hours and a couple more minutes, I might say it's a pretty good game. Sure, it feels like some kind of Bioshock in a wasteland with a shitty story but it's solid, it plays great, shooting is reeeally fun and satisfying. AI is great, enemies are moving a lot and trying different ways to attack.. in fact, they remind me of Condemned quite a lot.
It's also quite impressive since I've not seen any frame drop so far, except for a bit of tearing in some places.
Everything has a price though, it's a 8GB install and textures are popping-in all over the place. It feels a bit like a 60fps google maps ... anyways, it's still pretty damn impressive. If next gen games use that kind of loading, we could see some incredible visuals.
Also, the sound design isn't up to par, especially the music. I don't know how you can go from "Trent Reznor" to this... the game feels much better when the music is turned down to about 30% volume or less.

Sysgen said:C'mon man. After the fucked roll outs of Fallout New Vegas and Brink I'm sure Bethesda worked really hard to ensure PC Rage had a problem free roll out.
What was wrong with New Vegas? I got it at release and it was great.
Oh wait, was it that thing with the spinning head dude at the beginning?

Clean install, following the exact instructions on AMDs website. I thought maybe it was the texture cache folder I created, cuz Rage did indeed put a 1GB file in there, but I deleted it and it didn't fix anything.
However, on a good note: I get a locked 60 fps with no screen tearing... :/

My retail copy had the code at least. Installed it and started the game, noticed terrible texture lag and turned it off. Ya I will wait for a patch...

Make sure you're not forcing anything in CCC except vsync. I started getting stuttering when i forced 16x AF.
Omg. There it is. It's practically flawless now (well minus the poor close up textures in general).
Recap:
i5 2500k @ 4.2ghz
8 gigs DDR3
460 GTX
I updated to the latest BETA drivers 285.38. I added a rageconfig.cfg file to my rage/base directory with the following settings:
com_AllowConsole 1
com_SkipIntroVideo 1
vt_qualityhdplossless 1
vt_qualityhdppower 0
vt_qualityhdpspecular 0
vt_qualityhdpnormal 0
vt_qualityhdpdiffuse 0
vt_qualitydctpower 100
vt_qualitydctspecular 100
vt_qualitydctnormal 100
vt_qualitydctchroma 100
vt_qualitydctluma 100
vt_usecudatranscode 2
vt_maxppf 2048
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_minlod -1
vt_maxlockedpages 1024
vt_uncompressedvmtr 1
vt_maxaniso 16
vt_uncompressedphysicalimages 1
vt_vmtrcompression none
vt_restart
image_lodbias -1
image_anisotropy 16
image_usecompression 0
image_screenshotquality 100
And I forced vsync and triple buffering in the nvidia control panel. In-game settings are set to 16x AA and GPU transcoding enabled.
What I have is solid 60fps with such fast pop in that I wouldn't be able to tell if I wasn't whipping the mouse around and specifically looking for it. The config I posted is exactly the one from page 81 but I bumped up vt_maxlockedpages and vt_maxpff.
I am perfectly happy now. If I didn't have my 4 year old's birthday today I'd go off and play it some more. It'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Nvidia users should try exactly that. I'm genuinely hard pressed to see the pop-in now.

Oblivion was technically fine for me at launch. I'm not too worried about Skyrim. Although Zenimax seems to have a policy that they will only show off the 360 version of a game before launch, which is a bit worrying.

How do you disable the starting logos? so annoying when your trying to debug this mess.

just ran it before installing the specific ATI drivers. holeee crap. what a cluster fuck. really feel sorry for anyone who got the game before the ATI drivers. time to install those and compare.

So those Rage drivers for AMD cards posted last page. Do I need to install the 11.9 driver then install those?

Even New Vegas wasn't directly from them.
I'm not saying Fallout 3 and Oblivion didn't have their issues, but neither gave me any technical problems on their respective release days.
