Bib4Tuna Member Registered: 04/29/04 Posts: 1276 Loc: NC, USA	AMD has released an update to the 12.1 Preview Drivers (12.1a), with few enhancements, but mostly directed at improving RAGE and preparing for an upcoming patch (??!!!): Quote: Additional changes for upcoming update of Rage Resolves some new texture corruption issues introduced by the latest version of the game Improved performance ~5% Smoother game play and reduces multicore sync points Fixed mapbuffer failures when switching maps on 32-bit systems. Fixed a game crash when switching maps back and forth on 32 and 64bit systems http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst121apreviewdriver.aspx Also, the latest CAPS have been released: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx Works good! _________________________ "Hello.

kludger Senior Member Registered: 02/25/07 Posts: 2969 Loc: Seattle,USA	Thanks for the heads up, I have been loving the 12.1 preview, but was super disappointed with Rage's blurry performance, I would never have predicted that my longtime favorite Id and Carmack could put out such a crappy performing PC game, hell hath frozen over indeed... 25 GB dowload of blurry ass crappy textures, Quake2 with HD mod looks and plays better IMHO... Since I couldn't stand it long enough to get to the cool turret weapons or anything yet. Anywho I am hoping this will make Rage decent. _________________________ --John i5-2500k@4.8ghz, Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3, 8GB G.Skill@1600, Noctua D14, X-Fi TitaniumHD MSI 560Ti/448OC 1280MB@900/1800/2250, 3 x P2310H monitors, HAF932, Corsair TX850, Win7x64Pro TrackIR4, Saitek X52Pro + Pro Rudders + Cessna Trim Wheel (sim flying) Fanatec GT2 + G27 pedals (sim racing) PSN/XBL/Steam/EA/ProjectCARS: Kludger iRacing/rFactor2: Joao Silva

Thread hijack - I was utterly disappointed by Rage. They had all the elements there - the developers, the AI, the graphics, all the elements to make an epic game but then dropped the ball.

They had all the elements there - the developers, the AI, the graphics, all the elements to make an epic game but then dropped the ball. I was afraid of that, the little bit I played did not seem to hook me like the Dooms/Quakes of yesteryear and this is even coming from someone who loved Borderlands and was ok that Rage seemed to borrow many ideas from it... I will still try stick with it and hope I find something to love in Rage, but yeah Carmack has seriously fallen into mediocrity, he should have retired when he was on top and stuck to his rockets and ferraris nowadays instead of making also-ran console games like this. _________________________ --John i5-2500k@4.8ghz, Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3, 8GB G.Skill@1600, Noctua D14, X-Fi TitaniumHD MSI 560Ti/448OC 1280MB@900/1800/2250, 3 x P2310H monitors, HAF932, Corsair TX850, Win7x64Pro TrackIR4, Saitek X52Pro + Pro Rudders + Cessna Trim Wheel (sim flying) Fanatec GT2 + G27 pedals (sim racing) PSN/XBL/Steam/EA/ProjectCARS: Kludger iRacing/rFactor2: Joao Silva
