💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 64 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 35 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
