Can a AMD Radeon R9 Fury X run SCUM?
The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X clears the minimum bar for SCUM but sits under the recommended spec. It is playable at around 52 FPS at 1080p on high, and you will get a smoother result on the medium preset.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X measures up

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the medium preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 32 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 19 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 4GB you are under the 6GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
