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.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/9200/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (9200) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
