I never finished Ryse Son of Rome on Xbox but the game was fun and looked cool. I saw it on Steam so I bought it for my new PC. Settings were maxed out at native 4k. I was really surprised to see 100% utilization at 60 fps in this old of a title.
Is the Cryengine that intense and is that normal? I'm new to PC gaming by the way figuring this all out. I know Ideally you want 100% utilization on all your hardware but I was surprised because most the old gamez I've tried out barely use the 4090 or the CPU which is Ryzen 9 7900X.

ive never heard about this game but based just on the graphics i would say this is normal. theres been far worse offenders in terms of optimization recently. and crytek is known for “can it run crysis” and pretty much nothing else at this point so…
It could be correct. Older games sometimes scale well to newer hardware and are extremely easy to run – but in other cases like this it can actually be worse because the game wasn’t designed around this era of GPU, and not optimised that well.
To be fair it looks awesome at 4K and better than plenty of games coming out now.
Yeah, the game is extremely demanding if you shove everything to it’s highest values
If you’ve cranked SSAA that will be the culprit, it is an absurdly demanding form of AA
The graphics still look good today, kind of wish Crytek was more used. From what iv seen it’s just a pain for devs to work with or something so never got used as much as options like unreal.
Do check PCwiki, there’s some fixes that may help if you have problems. [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Ryse:_Son_of_Rome](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Ryse:_Son_of_Rome)
edit also do try kingdom Come Deliverance, also crytek and looks amazing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Come:_Deliverance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Come:_Deliverance)
I have also observed other games running on Cryengine like the Crysis remastered games, Hunt Showdown and Kingdom Come Deliverance are always very demanding on the gpu.
cpu bound, probably heavily single threaded. you can’t brute force engine limitations, it still looks amazing ngl.
maybe you put 2×2 supersampling
In my case, 3080 and 3440×1440, not supersampling, I get 165 fps caped by monitor Hz
it will if ur super sampling to 8K.
Not sure – It does look like your GPU is having a crysis
That game is good. Too good to last only 5 hours. Hope the rumours of the second one being developed aren’t fake.
you are playing at 4k… its not like this has ever been a standard or considered a light workload to crank everything at native 4k. Youre probably even using supersampling.
Id software Rage 1 has 1 tb texture compressed in average Playstation 3 game storage or 20 gb final installation.
the target in 2013 would have been 1080P30 so 4K60 is 8 times more pixels rendered per seconds, also older games don’t benefit from the engine optimization found in the last decade so they tend to rely more on raw horsepower and don’t scale as well at higher res/framerates.
but in this case it seems to scale quite linearly, if it was expected to run at 1080P30 with flagship GPU in 2013 and you apply a 50% increase in GPU power every two years over a decade you end up with nowadays GPUs being 7.6 times faster than back then which is pretty close to the 8times rendered pixels/s
Just cap your FPS at your refresh rate and it should run fine
