    hmm personally i would uninstall the 11.10 one and then just install the 11.9 Rage one. Optionally you could run Driver Sweeper in between uninstalling 11.10 and 11.9

    Yeah, apparently it sucks bad, review sites are destroying it, HardOCP went as far as requesting a refund from the developer and posting it on there website, encouraging others to do the same! :eek:

    The problems are with textures and some blur.

    Over on geforce.com there's a thread with a fix for the texture issue.

    Articles: How To Unlock Rage's High Resolution Textures With A Few Simple Tweaks - GeForce

    Also a fix on Youtube:
    UppGr4de's Channel - YouTube

    Hardocp.com posted this:
    I have asked Bethesda for my money back that I spent on Rage. You can too! I suggest you do that as well, in a nice respectful way, that is to the point. If we sit around and do nothing, we can expect more of the same when it comes to PC games. If you have not purchased Rage, but were thinking about it, I highly suggest you keep your money safely in your pocket with the hopes of Skyrim or Prey 2 bringing an immersive PC game experience. Rage is certainly not delivering an immersive PC gaming experience

    A computer must have done something real bad to John Carmak of ID software as a baby, the way he makes you backup all the time. Most games have a good autosave feature. I got a long ways in Rage and had to go waaay back as I didnt bother to save. I dont mind shooting mutants, but the driving part sucked having to do over again.
