Yesterday id Software has released a patch for the PC version of Rage, the fixes in the changelog include adding new video settings: "texture cache", "vsync", and "anisotropic filter" as well as a workaround for AMD driver crash right after intro cinematic.
Below is the changelog to the update:
- Implemented workaround for AMD driver crash right after intro cinematic on Win 7 32-bit systems.

- Support for new video settings: "texture cache", "vsync", and "anisotropic filter"
- Automatically adjust vt_maxPPF based on the number of available cores.
- Improved performance for SLI cards when GPU transcode is enabled.
- Fix for GPU Transcoding option being disabled after exiting gameplay.

- Allow g_fov to be changed from the RAGE launch options in Steam.
- Server now forwards text chat from clients to all other clients while in-game.
