Skookum is a word/phrase that the gentlemen from the linked youtube channel uses often. It's really a great channel and very fun to watch him break down powertools and explain electronics while using 'interesting' language.

And what does "Skookum" mean then?

It's a phrase from the west coast, from Chinook language. Roughly means good/strong/powerful in common (i.e. BC, maybe Washington state?) parlance.
So OP is saying you need a good GPU for this game.

Which brings me to wonder... how does a New Brunswick boy get in the habit of using BC First Nations slang?
