The NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti is a high-end card with 12GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 103 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 104 FPS with everything on High.

💡 SCUM: Unreal Engine 5 since 1.0 - dense forests make Foliage the biggest lever; very low foliage is also a PvP visibility trade-off.

At 1080p expect around 172 FPS, at 1440p about 103 FPS, and at 4K roughly 79 FPS with optimized settings. SCUM doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
