No I didn't. I just updated the game and turned on sync ingame which didn't help it.

Tearing happened like this on my ATI card until I forced vsync with +r_swapInterval 1 on the launch options. After the patch, it was not necessary anymore (the game defaults to +r_swapInterval 2 now, which is "smart" mode).
The differences between the options seem to be that if the game does not run at 60 frames, it will either stutter (drop to 30 fps) or tear (keep 60 fps, regardless if the rest can keep up), depending on which setting is chosen. (0 = tear, 1 = stutter, 2 = smart). Smart mode does the same as 1 (vsync on), but instead of dropping to 30 fps, it will tear instead. The latter option only works on some grafics cards, though.
You should try to force vsync on if you prefer to have slight stutters instead of the tearing or try to lower some other options so that the framerate does not drop below 60.

I have a GTX 580 so it stays well above 60 fps. Forced sync and still had the weird tearing bar. Oh well I will fool with it tomorrow, I'm giving up on it for tonight.

I got my settings right by starting from the low end (4k pages, no aa, no aniso, force vsync) and worked upwards from there. Strangely enough, setting aniso to "0" pre-patch led to worse performance than having it at "2", but I couldn't verify that anymore post-patch.
Triple buffering also doesn't crash the game for me anymore, but it didn't seem to have any impact either.
Good luck

Just got the game. This fixed it for me. Steady 60FPS with sli 560 ti's everything maxed at 1080p. Game looks and runs great after the update and this fix for the tearing.

Tried with it, without it. Sweeped my drivers, tried 4 different config files, disabled catylist AI in the .xml ATI profiles, had triple buffering on and off, every possible driver setting permutation I could conceive of and the problem persists.
Fxp said:
Yea that doesn't work so well on an i7, causes the framerate to dive to the single digit range.
I just tried with RadeonPro turned off and it was actually working fine, so I guess that was the culprit. I hadn't tried that with the latest drivers/patches so thanks for the suggestion derFeef it seems to have worked.

Got the patch. I have no issues right now except that I don't have 5.1. I use optical and ALL my other games work fine with it. Apparently Rage does not and I doubt they will fix it either.
That's not true at all. They put a lot of effort into Doom 3, for instance.Arcipello said:sound design has ALWAYS been a very very low priority for all id software games... didnt expect much at all from RAGE and thats what we got
Honestly, I think Rage sounds tremendously good. The PS3 version delivers a perfectly punchy 7.1 mix that sounds fantastic throughout. The PC version also has no issues for me on the sound front.
ALL RIGHT! Fixed the stuttering casued by enabling Catalyst AI with the +jobs_numThreads 0 setting, and Catalyst AI incidentally fixed the corrupt textures.
I have a new problem now, of course. +jobs_numThreads 0 makes the framerate dive everytime I move. If I don't move its 60fps, if I move at all dives into the twenties. This game... >_<

i like the assault rifle in this, sounds like it's gonna explode when you fire it.
This is my current config, been running at 60FPS @ 2560x1440 on a GTX470 with very minimal pop in
Any more tweaks/changes i can make to improve quality.

seta vt_maxlockedpages "256"I found, perhaps, the best point of torture for the game thus far. When you first make your way to the Wasted Garage you cross along the top of a large dam. In this area, I ran into a lot of issues with performance. As I look in different directions you can see the texture re-draw clearly and when it DOES re-draw the framerate drops. Most areas are smooth, but this one section really bogged down with texture loading.
That is one of the things I've noticed the PC choking on that isn't a problem on the consoles. For both PS3 and 360, the loading of textures appears to have no impact on performance.

I was in this thread a long time ago, nervous and uneasy, asking whether RAGE would run properly on a newish 27" imac.
Just wanted to say, that it runs like a dream and my cold sweat is gone, replaced by dorky, drooling joy. I'm like a stupid kid with a new toy - This shit is the bee's knees.

Okay. Just picked up the boxed pc version today and slowly installing it.
Is a 3Ghz PC with 4Gb of Ram and a GTX460 going to be okay for this game. Should I expect to play at 60fps?

So how does the game run with 6970 cards? I read about awful AMD performance these past few days, has it improved? Would suck if I can't even run this at 60fps
I have a 2GB 6950 with unlocked shaders and overclocked to stock 6970 speeds, so it's basically a 6970, and I run close to flawlessly with my config (from the OP) set to 16k and 4xAA on. It used to crash and stutter every now and then, but those issues are all but gone.georaldc said:

no, i misunderstood what you were saying. was running on fumes last night. just did what you said this morning and it worked. you were right, it kept forcing vsync off. many thanks!
It's not related to resolution, though, it's the texture loading. The same issue occurs regardless of how low the resolution is on the PC. After this drop occurs the framerate immediately returns to 60. It only slows down while textures are popping in.scitek said:

Well I don't understand. Either Rage has 5.1/7.1 or it doesn't. If it doesn't at all then that's crazy. But if it's a problem for me then can it be fixed. I heard it may have something to do with the game being OpenGL?Arcipello said:sound design has ALWAYS been a very very low priority for all id software games... didnt expect much at all from RAGE and thats what we got
