Can't select Very High texture quality
The reason why this is locked may be because the game thinks your PC doesn't have the needed power (VRAM) to run it.

How to fix it:
Edit system.cfg
  • Go to the game folder (in steamapps).
  • Find system.cfg and open it with a text editor.
  • Find sys_localization_folder=Localization and add the follow two lines under it:
  • sys_spec_texture=4
  • sys_spec_textureresolution=4
  • Save the file.
Low FPS Fix (Nvidia GPUs)
This may happen cause the game doesn't use all the power at its disposal.

How to fix:
Turn on ShadowPlay
  • Turn on ShadowPlay on Nvidia gpus or use Windows 10 Game DVR feature.

How to enable ShadowPlay:
  • If you don't have Geforce Experience, install it. (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/) ONLY NVIDIA GPUs
  • After everything is set up, it should be enable by default, to check it go to settings in Geforce Experience and if you see in the in-game overlay section something green then it's enabled.
Low CPU performance
Just like in the section before: the game may not use your PC to the fullest potential.

How to fix:
Edit system.cfg
  • Go to the game directory.
  • Open and edit system.cfg with a text editor.
  • Find sys_localization_folder=Localization and add the following line under it:
  • sys_highrestimer=1
  • Save the file.
Stuttering fix
Edit system.cfg

The following steps may fix stuttering on some systems due to the way VSYNC is handled in the game.
First apply the Low CPU performance fix. (See above)
  • Go to the game directory
  • Open and edit system.cfg with a text editor.
  • Add this line at the bottom of the file to enable triple buffering: r_NumBackbuffers=3
  • Save the file.
  • Go to Nvidia control panel (or AMD equivalent) and enable both Triple Buffering and VSYNC (or adptive VSYNC) for Ryse in the "Manage 3D Settings" tab and press Apply.
  • Disable VSYNC in game.

no idea if it helped at all, but thanks, the control panel for AMD is neat.

This helped to drastically push my 2080Super into running the game at 60fps on the 2k! Thanks a bunch!

I hate when companies just port a game to PC and don't even bother to optimize it.

look this is going to sound crazy but as a full AMD set up , literally just using Rivetuner fixed it

For me Low Latency Mode -> ulta fixed the framerate, almost smooth 60 fps on my 1650 on max settings with Adaptive V-sync.
