Best SCUM settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), SCUM runs at roughly 65 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 66FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 65 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 192 FPS at 1080p and 115 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for SCUM, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS 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.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Nearly free with 8GB+ VRAM.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
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 QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and distance. Epic costs a lot under the forest canopy where shadows are everywhere.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing — helps a lot with distant foliage shimmer that can hide players. Medium/High is the pick.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the island renders in detail. Partly CPU-bound; lowering causes pop-in on long sightlines — a trade-off for snipers.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Muzzle flash, explosions, weather particles. Lowering helps most in firefights.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, motion blur and screen effects. Many players lower this anyway for a clearer PvP image.
