The result was 115fps, and it looked extremely blocky and ugly. Just because you set a target doesn't mean you'll hit it, however-on a midrange RX 580, I put in a target of 240fps and a minimum scale of 10. Resolution Scale: Rage 2 supports dynamic resolution scaling, and you can set a minimum percentage (from 10-100 percent) along with a target framerate of 20-240fps. Low quality runs about 50 percent faster than ultra quality, medium quality runs about 20-25 percent faster, and high quality is virtually the same (1-2 percent faster) as ultra quality. Midrange cards should handle the medium preset just fine, while higher performance cards can use the ultra preset. Low-end hardware will need to stick with the low setting and possibly drop the resolution and/or enable resolution scaling. Graphics Preset: Your one stop shop to tweak all of the other settings, and a good place to start.

Despite having 14 advanced settings to tweak, most do very little for performance or image quality. More noteworthy is that even at minimum quality, performance only improves by around 50 percent.
RAGE 2 GAMEPLAY 1080P
So I've skipped additional testing at 1080p high. However, the high and ultra presets are nearly identical-ultra just bumps up the geometry details (level of detail, basically) one notch, with a negligible 1-2 percent dip in performance. Rage 2 provides a decent selection of graphics settings to play with, along with four global presets. I don't test 700-series or R9 200-series GPUs anymore, but those should be roughly at the level of the GTX 1050 and RX 560. The recommended specs meanwhile look like they'll do 1080p ultra at 60fps or more, or 1440p ultra at 45-50fps.

RAGE 2 GAMEPLAY MOD
But Rage saw no mod support either, so don't count on it. Mods are still a bit of a question mark-there's no support right now, but there was a comment made a few months ago about how id Software recognizes the importance of mods so maybe it will appear in the future.

Full support for all resolutions and aspect ratios is present, and unlike the original Rage, there's no framerate cap, vsync can be disabled, the FOV range is pretty massive, and controllers and keymapping support are present along with a photo mode. Okay, I guess there's a sort of "revenge my death" option, but there's no traditional co-op or other modes. Rage 2 does tick most of the important features-the biggest omission being any form of multiplayer. As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Rage 2 on a bunch of different AMD and Nvidia GPUs, multiple CPUs, and several laptops-see below for the full details, along with our Performance Analysis 101 article.
