Rage is crappy on PC.
The developers themselves admitted that it was a mistake optimizing it for consoles and then port it to PC. Deus EX and Borderlands run very good on PC. It is easy to identify a port by the amount of graphics options avaiable , this is not always true however. Drive San Francisco is another PC port, since they even needed to patch it for more display resolutions. And then, there are AWESOME ports like Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5, and HORRIBLE ports like Devil May Cry 3 and Onimsha 3. In DMC3 you cant even customize your freaking controller and the graphics are ps2-like... while in Dmc4, even a 8600GT can make it look like a Nex-gen game since it's surprisingly light and runs in absolutely any system. Same for RE5. And these were meant for consoles. Edit@TJR Now, we joined at same date, both of our nicknames start with "T", and we just posted at same time... !!!!!

It boils down to the program design and the love they put into the port. With RAGE, id made an engine that sounds interesting on paper but is poor in practice. Clearly, they didn't give a damn about the PC version (seemingly tossed out with minimum work and quality assurance) either given all the compatibility issues. |

Sure 720p is HD, but most games on the consoles didn't render at that resolution. For example on the ps3 Space Marines was something like 1152x640; El Shaddai 1152x576; Crisis 2 1024x720; Resistance 3 960x704; Dark Souls 1024x720; those CoD games were all sub 720p and Rage dynamically changes from 640x720 to 1280x720. So personally I think that is a scam to market a system being HD, only because it upscales the video output to HD specs.
And I kind of doubt that Skyrim will be render at 720p on the current consoles. |

But yeah, even more than the poor engine design the state of the PC version bugged me. The number of tweaks release within a couple of days suggest that isome of the games' issues on the PC would have been trivial to fix, yet they didn't bother. Shame, since it seems to have turned an awful lot of PC gamers off a game that from what I read is actually one of the better recent FPSes. Quote:
http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=46241 Yes, many don't even use full 720P.

So, if you had a 570GTX and a E6600@4ghz and needed more perfomance... Would you get another GTX 570 or 580GTX, or a 2500K/2600K? Remember, the upgrade cost will *almost* be the same(at least around here).

The one thing that's slightly disappointing for me is the lack of good facial preset choices... I'm guessing most of the Human races have the same looks so I'll have to experiment on my own... Also, is that a setting for body build? I thought I saw something like that but I can't be sure...
