Check My PC →What limits performance in SCUM
The graphics card: frame rates in SCUM rise with GPU speed.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 2060 or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 31 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
SCUM recommends a Core i5-6600K or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for SCUM, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
3 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 3 GB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
Settings to lower first in SCUM
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where SCUM offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality last: it costs little frame rate as long as your card has enough video memory.
