Can the Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) run SCUM? (2026)

✅ Yes

~61 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld 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 61 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 27 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	27	61
1440p	16	40
4K	9	23

💡 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 61 FPS, at 1440p about 40 FPS, and at 4K roughly 23 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
