Try the tweaks I posted earlier in this thread:

1. Create this directory: c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\id software\rage -- a cache file is supposed to exist here but the directory doesn't get created as part of install.

2. In steam, r-click your game, goto properties, and add the following line into the startup parameters: +cvaradd g_fov 20 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +set com_allowConsole 1 +fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024 +ik_enablesmoothing 0 +image_usecompression 0 +jobs_numthreads 4 +mem_phymemblocksizem 3072 +m_smooth 0 +m_rawinput 1

3. I downloaded the latest BETA drivers from Nvidia and installed them. The version is 285.38 - for reference, my video card is a GTX 560.

4. While RAGE is not running, visit the Nvidia control panel and change Vsync from "Application Controlled" to "Force On".

I don't know about the variables stuck in the startup command line, but the change to the beta drivers was MONEY. My system is running like butter! I'm stuck at the framecap of 60. (Admittedly, I had it turned down to 1024x768.) I was ready to let this game sit until I could upgrade my video card(s), but these suggestions have flipped the bit to "playable."
