Can a AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 run SCUM?
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 clears the minimum bar for SCUM but sits under the recommended spec. It is playable at around 57 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.

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 36 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 21 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
