The only thing you'll get is Rage because of the low framerate

...you will get great performance, you're not going to completely max it out with lots of AA and such, but what will get it to run decent on your PC will be substantially better compared to the console version.

OK. BTW, I'm in it for the 'shoot people and make **** explode'. It's good in this regard, correct?

Personally I think the shooting mechanics and core gameplay in RAGE is excellent, although I can't say whether it's repetetive/gets worse as I only got around 4 hours gameplay in before the bugs & glitches got the better of my frustration. Moved onto Shogun 2 so I haven't played it in a while, but if it's fixed now it should be excellent. Might have to start playing it again...

About the PC: I believe you'll be alright, but it's down to the compatibility, really. The only graphical option you can change is the resolution and maybe v-sync I believe, along with some "GPU transcode." I don't know what iD was thinking with that one...

Some people report terrible framerates on great PCs. I just tried the PC version of RAGE the other day and I didn't have such problems. If the consoles can run the game at 60fps, you should be able to run it fairly as well. If their history suggests anything, it's that iD doesn't do crappy ports. Their games are usually quite accessible on PC.

Concerning the gameplay: Don't expect a sh*tload of enemies in the beginning, as you'll often find yourself talking as much as you're shooting, but when it comes down to spraying bullets, you'll get your chance.

Runs fine with me. I would tell you what my specs are but I can't be bothered.

A GTS 250 is enough according to this (a GTS 250 is faster than a 8800 GT):

Having a quad core is far more important in this title. I think you should be fine, especially at 1680x1050.
