Topic on Talk:RAGE

Rage (as well every OpenGL/id Tech 5 game) is famous for terrible performance and loads of issues in AMD hardware.

Since Radeon driver 22.7.1, AMD rebuilt their OpenGL driver from the ground up, delivering better performance and stability in all games that use this API.

I'm playing this game right now with driver 23.5.2 and the game is working perfectly. I'm even playing the 32-bits version (without mods), and everything is running fine.

Have anyone tested out newer drivers and got success playing this too? If yes I think it's valid to clarify this on the "Regular crashes with ATI/AMD desktop and mobile graphics" topic of the issues unresolved of this game.

The same goes for Wolfenstein Old Blood. It uses the same engine and renderer and had the same issues. Now it works perfectly, but Wolfenstein New Order still works bad for some reason and recently I found some new parameters for id5tweaker config to run it better (although still not perfect).

Be aware that the new OpenGL driver introduced in 22.7.1 work only for Polaris cards and newer (RX 4XX and up). Older GCNs still uses older OGL driver and are affected by bad performance in OGL to this day. The new driver is simply incompatible with older cards. E g. you'll break your driver installation if you use them among many of custom Amernime Drivers options.

Yes, that's correct. I forgot that AMD pulled pre-Polaris cards from official support before this driver released.

While that is true i'm constantly getting out of memory errors. Edit1 nvm, i fixed it myself. edit2 it happens at the beginning of every load but as long as you don't change the graphics and keep play with "vt_maxPPF 128" and "vt_uncompressedPhysicalImages 0" in id5Tweaker Config you should be good. and not having a texture cache folder also seems to help.
