How I got Rage to work on my AMD/ATI Radeon 6870

The Rage release sucked for a lot of gamers. Here are my system specs and how I got the game to run.

• Intel Core2Duo 2.93GHz E7500
• Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
• 4GB RAM

• Get the 11.10 preview 2 drivers for Radeon cards. By itself this patch made the game completely unplayable for me. It worked better with the 11.9 drivers.
• Get the latest game patch
• Catalyst Control Settings:
  
  • Check "Use application settings" for everything
  • Catalyst AI: Set bar to middle (quality) and Enable Surface Format Optimize
  • Wait for V-Sync: Always On
  • Anti-Alias" Performace
  • OpenGL: Enable triple buffer
• Add these command line args (In steam, right-click the game in the left pane -> Properties -> Set Launch Options): +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +jobs_numThreads 0 +vt_maxPPF 8 +cvaradd g_fov 20 +set m_rawinput 1
• This wasn't necessary, but may help performace: Create "rage" folder within an "id software" folder in your appdata folder (C:\Users\--your WINDOWS USER NAME--\AppData\Local\id software\rage)

I didn't have to use any config files to get this game running.

Although I can play the game at full settings, you may need to lower yours to get good framerates. Use the in-game video settings.

Best ok luck
