    RAGE ran well without the update with Catalyst 11.10 Pre2 drivers, but it broke some of my most played games ever aka Minecraft.
    So im waiting for 11.10 WHQL or something since im in no rush atm.

    To remove the screen tear you need to force the V sync on, i did this in Nvidia Control Panel by changing the 3D settings for Rage (not the global settings for all programs), runs perfect now.

    Bethesda releases Patch to fix V-Sync

    Patch Changes / Fixes


    Implemented workaround for AMD driver crash right after intro cinematic on Win 7 32-bit systems.
    Disabled UBOs because they are causing animation issues with AMD drivers.
    Don't allow swap-tear to be enabled on AMD while the extension is not exposed because it may crash.

    Automatically adjust vt_maxPPF based on the number of available cores.
    Improved performance for SLI cards when GPU transcode is enabled.
