Can the NVIDIA RTX 5050 run SCUM? (2026)

Yes
~79 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 5050 is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and SCUM is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 79 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 79 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 79 FPS, at 1440p about 64 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. SCUM doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
