💡 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 (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 80 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 50 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
