Why does Rage the video game by id software lags?

intel i5 2500k

8gig ddr3 ram

nvidia 560ti 1 gig ddr5 vid ram

1080i res

with this awesomeness system i should have no problem running this game. The game runs really sweet but when i go from inside the building to outside i start getting like 1-5 fps for like 2-3 mins then it goes away...i'd really like to say, "oh it's just the game loading all the textures and stuff" the thing is it doesnt do it when i first start the game. If i'm outside and i start the game it is running fine. There is a bug that is causing this. Some sorta screw up with the game, not my computer. I've reinstalled drivers etc but this game still does that. I tried google and i can't find this specific problem which makes me think it is my rig. I can run skyrim with settings all maxed out and get like 30 fps and it is way more demanding so why would this game only give me 1-5 for those first few minutes coming from inside a building to outside.

    Have you updated your video card drivers? It sounds like you might need to optimize your system. Or change some in game settings. Rage ran fine for me on an old system.

    Video games are stupid. Get a better hobby or something for crying out loud.
