I bought the game 2 days ago and this crazy popup was driving me insane.
I looked and then tweaked and this is what i've come up with in the end
1. I added these lines in launch options
+seta com_AllowConsole 1 +seta com_SkipIntroVideo 1 +fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024
1.1 make a folder in users\username\appdata\local\id software\rage folder
so that this line "+fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024" makes an effect. It will create 1gb cache file.
2. Made this Rageconfig.cfg (Rage/base folder)
//main settings
seta com_videoRam "1280" // your vram size
seta mem_phymemblocksizem "4096"
//Virtual Textures
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeunique "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizevmtr "8192"
seta vt_maxaniso "12"
//virtual textures format
seta vt_qualityHDPLossless "1"
seta vt_qualityHDPDiffuse "0"
seta vt_qualityHDPNormal "0"
seta vt_qualityHDPPower "0"
seta vt_qualityHDPSpecular "0"
seta vt_qualityDCTChroma "100"
seta vt_qualityDCTLuma "100"
seta vt_qualityDCTNormal "100"
seta vt_qualityDCTPower "100"
seta vt_qualityDCTSpecular "100"
seta vt_uncompressedvmtr "1"
seta vt_preload "1"
seta vt_vmtrcompression "HDP" //HDP DXT DCT
//cuda settings
seta vt_maxPPF "256"
seta vt_cudaBudget "10"
seta vt_usecudatranscode "2"
//Render
r_gamma "0.91"
g_fov 95
seta r_multiSamples "4"
seta jobs_numThreads "3" // use 2 if you notice fps drops
//sharpening, can be excluded, i didnt saw any better IQ, nvidia negative LOD did the job fine
seta vt_minlod "-1"
seta vt_lodBias "-1"
seta image_lodbias "-1"
//Image
seta image_anisotropy "12"
seta image_preload "1"
seta image_blend "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"
seta image_useCompression "0"
The funny thing is one time its smooth next reboot it can hitch, im not sure whats the real cause, at first it looked like seta jobs_numThreads faukt, tehn seta vt_vmtrcompression "HDP" //HDP DXT DCT method fault, i used none, but next reboot it was all smooth and the next it hitched again... could be driver issue. Anyway it should be fine most of the time.
>> And its important to have at least 1280mb vram or those 16384 mipmaps will make your gpu crawl, mine eats up ~ 1200mb at those settings. Also all 4 at 8192 wont eliminate all the popups.
3. I enhanced Rage profile with sharpening negative LOD in nv inspector like so
4. Ingame disable that sharpening FX (texture detail) otherwise it can make that popup really bad also it can crawl the system with pageImageSize 16384 combo.
Dont pay attention to small cache size, its because I changed most mipmaps to 16384
That's it, popup free and it still looks nice.
how the fuck am I supposed to kill that moments.
