Can I play Scum with an AMD Radeon RX 560 2GB?

[Rhapsody of Fire]

The minimum graphic card is an AMD Radeon R7 370 2GB, they are similar?

Somewhat, yes. The RX 560 is newer so there should be no technical restrictions that would prevent the game from launching.

According to some benchmarks the RX 560 may also be slightly faster but has a slower memory interface.

So, technically the game should run but I wouldn't expect much. In 1280x720, 70% render resolution and all other settings on low you might get a somewhat playable frame rate with large drops around certain areas.

In this thread someone tested it with a 750 Ti which is somewhat comparable to your card.

I would strongly suggest you update that GPU, 2GB Video RAM is not enough for modern games. Before I even look into where else that GPU would fall short, that jumps out at me. Even before upgrading my GPU I had an older GTX 760, but it still had 4GB RAM on it.

I used my onboard graphics for about a year on low/med graphics. (Ryzen 5 2400g) and that, if i remember correctly the equivalent to 2gb video ram.

it was rough, but the game was playable.

On board graphics I assume is integrated? As in CPU based, no dedicated GPU to speak of. Which would mean 0 (none, nadda, zlich...) Video RAM, not 2GB. Integrated Graphics pull from you system RAM. Which does awful things for performance and lowers your available RAM for everything else it is needed for. Also would advise against running something on a system below min specs, as thermal degradation/damage is highly likely.

i played on the card,no problems at all....but i upgraded and realised what i was missing.So yes u can but upgrade asap,u missing out on alot of game...

The Ryzen 5 2400g does have 2gb of vram built in and runs at 1250ghz, that's why I was able to play SCUM, PUBG, Fortnite, ect. otherwise any other processors, like you mentioned are 0.

I built a PC that could play SCUM for less than 500 without a card, then a year later I picked up an rx 580 8gb. I recomend the Ryzen for budget pc builders.

Oh neat I did not know that about Ryzen. I'm more familiar with Intel and Nvidia than AMD by and large.

Well done doing that for $500. I spent considerably more mostly future proofing and being paranoid about thermal issues (Burned out a mobo previously with a BSOD world ending thermal event so...), but I saved on an older GPU (a GTX 760 with 4GB RAM). The future proffing worked out though so instead of a new PC, I was able to upgrade the GPU from that 760 all the way to a 2080ti, which I'm sad to say ran me 4 times as much as your PC pre-dedicated GPU! So not a GPU I would have gotten if I was looking at a new build in any event :)

I kinda did the same as far as future proofing. As this pc will become a server for hosting games and streaming as I slowly piece together a second pc dedicated for gaming (water cooling, ect). I was skeptical reading the specs that it would work, as a gpu aswell. but with 16gb of ram and a m.2 on board harddrive it's pretty slick. 12 second boot up time.

the gaming pc will take some time to aquire the funds though, so this setup I've got a couple years before it will struggle.
