CUDA Transcode Improved Performance

Rage uses very highly compressed texture data as part of its MegaTexture technology engine.^[1] Users with a fast Nvidia video card can benefit from CUDA transcoding which will offload the decompressing task to the video card rather than the CPU. Users with 4 or more processor cores instead can benefit from extra CPU transcoding by disabling this feature and thus giving all available video card time to rendering the game.

Instructions

Borderless fullscreen windowed

AutoHotKey Script does not work. RAGE will resize so that the title bar of the window becomes visible.

RAGE's fullscreen mode is not Alt+Tab ↹-friendly, and can reset your vsync and Antialiasing settings.

Adding Rage.exe to the GameCompanion will run the game in borderless fullscreen windowed mode. Due to the window styling, it appears that the window will be slightly too small for the native resolution, revealing a small window border on one side.

Issues unresolved

Regular crashes with ATi/AMD mobile graphics

Running RAGE on some systems will cause regular crashes, and this issue remains unfixed.^[3]

Using third-party drivers does not fix the issue.^[4]

^{[citation needed]}

Issues fixed

64 bit version takes forever to load

Instructions

Corrupted, black, jagged or dotted textures

Disable any sort of override or enhancing function (like anisotropic filter, antialiasing or Catalyst A.I.) from any utility which could control the graphics card.
These include but are not limited to program such as the Catalyst Control Center, the Nvidia Control panel, RadeonPro, Ati Tray tools, RivaTuner.

Stutter, textures pop-in, freezes
