Anyone else envisage a HUGE texture update to say the least? id should be embarrassed at some of the texture quality in this game. Basically every indoor environment is a blurry mess, you get some ok texture work indoors but if you look around theres plenty of really low res stuff. The only real decent looking textures you see are driving around in the canyons, character and weapons models. Its 2011 and its like we took a quantum leap backwards 10 years at least.

is there a way to display fps from within the game? e.g. console "show_fps 1" or similar
It's almost divided 50/50 on the quad vs dual front according to STEAM's latest hardware survey:

You can, but it never seems to work for me. D3D overrider seems to work much better, or ATI Radeon Pro does a fairly decent job of forcing ATI settings.
I'm getting really bad issues with this game, upon loading new areas I get blue screen and texture corruption, texture pop up everywhere and stuttering sounds. got latest drivers and a fairly beefy machine so this is really inexcusable. Im not even going to play anymore until they fix it.
So far the issues seem to be:
AMD/ATi graphics problems are the biggest issue followed closely by similar reports on nVidia mainly performance whereas AMD is corruption and finally Intel cpus stuttering or freezing game, seems to be focused around Core2 mainly. So far the only 'one that got away' appears to be AMD cpu's.
Wow, 3 out 4 major components is a good hit ratio! Shocking.

Wow, triple buffering seems to stop the game from running for me. Strange.
Theres bugger all scaling on crossfire or sli, that being said it really doesn't seem to need it to perform well. I only drop to 45fps on driving scenes because of the third person view point and wide field of view.

Me too - very sick of it tbh. Quickly pushing me into the next console generation tbh.
Its a shame I just been playing this a bit, looks fairly good to me. I like the idea of the game. But I keep getting micro stutting every now and then and frankly it annoys the hell out of me.
Also for whatever bloody reason teh updated beta drivers have stopped any MSI Afterburner settings including turning the bloody fan off ! So i rolled back the drivers and now the stutting is worse. So this is going to sit in my steam list of games until it is fixed properly.

I played this initially with the 11.10 BF3 drivers on 2 x 6870, looked great, but ran like crap.
I then removed drivers and went to the 11.9 drivers with the profiles, runs a lot better now, but it seems to now disable AF by default? Or at least it looks like it has? 16x AF is forced on in the drivers, but when I load into rage, it looks like it's turned off, as the textures just blur out in front of you? Is this all they did to increase Rage performance in the 11.9s?!?!
Also, I'm shocked with the total lack of graphical options in the game, is there some sort of external config that I'm missing or is this seriously it? This screams of console port :/

Nope, I've never had a problem or can't remember having any.
This is the first game that's caused me issues in years.
Language please
There are comments in other forums with the 480 reporting issues.
"Outside of the screen-tearing which is awful, no. Even the 16k textures aren't pushing VRAM usage past 800MB - yet you're supposed to need a 1.5GB card for them (which i have) "
PC1 (friends PC in my office next to me):
2x 6970 xFire @stock
i7 2600k @ stock
8gb
5760x1200 Eyefinity
New campaign game loaded, got outside, got to the car pickup bit, locked up, had to kill the game via task manager.
