Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) run SCUM? (2026)

✅ Yes

~60 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 60 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 31 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	31	60
1440p	18	46
4K	10	26

💡 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 DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 46 FPS, and at 4K roughly 26 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
