Unleash Your Rage at Texture Pop-In During Gameplay & Play RAGE™ with 
Raxco!
 
Hello Raxco Friend,
 
Many of our customers are avid PC gamers. PerfectDisk has even been 
called a "WoW Optimizer."
 
Following a long standing tradition of pioneering cutting edge 3D 
graphics, the wizards at id® Software have created RAGE™, a game where 
every surface is uniquely textured and literally hand-painted. RAGE™ 
presents gamers with a mesmerizing visual experience that features the 
kind of fast-paced FPS action that is sure to raise your blood 
pressure. However RAGE™ taxes your system hardware like no other game, 
requiring that your system stream gigabytes of unique texture data into 
memory as you navigate its post-apocalyptic landscape. In fact, the 
game is so uniquely textured that texture data files average a couple 
of hundred megabytes in size each, with some of the larger textures 
being well over 1GB in size. The entire game requires over 21GB of disk 
storage space to install.

A flaw that occurs when a game's graphics engine fails to
preload textures as the player is in view of them. -GiantBomb.com

Although you may be prepared to rain death upon your enemies in the 
world of RAGE™, your PC may not be. At QuakeCon 2011, gaming luminary 
and technical director of id® Software, John Carmack, explained during 
his keynote address that low latency disk access would be crucial to 
the visual presentation of RAGE™. Many gamers have encountered texture 
pop-in issues on their systems as a result of slow disk access caused 
by file fragmentation. The game requires that your system be equipped 
not only with a sufficiently fast enough video card, but with a hard 
drive that can deliver smooth sequential read performance. Luckily for 
you, PerfectDisk has been proven to maximize sequential read 
performance and minimize texture pop-in issues in RAGE™.
 
The patented SMARTPlacement™ technology featured in PerfectDisk allows 
it to properly defragment game data for fast access. This allows your 
system to present you with the smoothest visual presentation of RAGE™ 
that it is capable of. Watch our video demonstration of how 
PerfectDisk™ can help you optimize your gaming experience!

PerfectDisk Best Practices for Optimal Gameplay
 
To help gamers get the best RAGE™ experience possible, we’ve compiled 
the following list of best practices:
 
    Install the STEAM™ PC client to a dedicated hard drive.
    Defragment the hard drive using the SMARTPlacement™ algorithm found 
in PerfectDisk.
    During gameplay, disable the following programs and Windows 
features on the hard drive:
        Anti-virus scans
        System Restore / VSS protection
        Drive indexing
    Shut down any other programs installed to the same drive.
    Enable OptiWrite™ in PerfectDisk to prevent the game from 
fragmenting in the future as updates and downloadable content are 
released.
