    Rage

    Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Oct 04, 2011

    id Software's Rage combines first-person shooting, vehicular action, and "open but directed" exploration to tell the story of Earth's wretched civilization after a cataclysmic meteor strike. Militaristic authority figures, freedom-fighting rebels, criminal raiders, and twisted mutants battle each other for control of the barren wasteland Earth has become.

    OpenGL is the problem

    For those wondering why Rage for the PC performs so badly with Nvidia cards, and is unplayable with most ATI cards...

    The problem is Rage's new engine uses openGL. It seems like after all these years, id software still makes games that perform best using openGl.

    The problem is, most graphic development over the last decade has mostly been for DirectX, not openGL.

    id software put out a product, without first testing it and optimizing it for current video cards.

    This is why they're blaming the driver developers, instead of taking responsibility for f&^king up.

    Shame on John Carmack and shame on id software.

    Its because of easier compatibility with Linux and Mac, plus he hates Microsoft.

    Runs beautifully, and smooth as butter with a ghetto ATI radeon 4650.

    I bet you haven't even played the game.

    Never had a hitch on my 570, don't see what all the fuss is about other than AMD driver issues, which seem pretty common to me.
