Best SCUM settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), SCUM runs at roughly 16 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 16 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 16 FPS at 1080p and 9 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 5 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 SCUM: Unreal Engine 5 since 1.0 - dense forests make Foliage the biggest lever; very low foliage is also a PvP visibility trade-off.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Since the Unreal Engine 5 update, SCUM supports modern upscaling. Its dense island is heavy — enable this first on anything below a high-end card.
Foliage QualityLow+14% FPS
SCUM’s forests are among the densest in any survival game — foliage is the single heaviest normal setting. Note that very low foliage is also a PvP factor (less concealment for everyone).
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Shadow resolution and distance. Epic costs a lot under the forest canopy where shadows are everywhere.
View DistanceLow+8% FPS
How far the island renders in detail. Partly CPU-bound; lowering causes pop-in on long sightlines — a trade-off for snipers.
Effects QualityLow+6% FPS
Muzzle flash, explosions, weather particles. Lowering helps most in firefights.
Anti-AliasingLow+5% FPS
Edge smoothing — helps a lot with distant foliage shimmer that can hide players. Medium/High is the pick.
Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom, motion blur and screen effects. Many players lower this anyway for a clearer PvP image.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Nearly free with 8GB+ VRAM.
