Can I Run SCUM?
SCUM is an action adventure game from Gamepires, released in 2025. Gamepires both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone. It carries 69 achievements. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Its Steam review count passes 97 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an outbreak scenario, moving through one continuous open world. There are 9 official screenshots to judge the look from. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and SCUM can never assume the player will stop and let it load. Play is presented from a third person view.
Why SCUM is demanding
SCUM sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5700, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. SCUM calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. SCUM needs 64 bit Windows. SCUM takes about 80 GB of disk space, SSD specified. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means SCUM scales hard with the hardware you give it. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run SCUM?
SCUM is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB / AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. SCUM needs about 80 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against SCUM's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
