What it does
Higher geometry settings reduce visible level-of-detail transitions but can pressure the GPU, CPU and memory bandwidth.
Games may also call it: Mesh Quality, Model Quality, Object Detail, Level of Detail
Decision guide
Lower it when
Lower it when open scenes or dense objects hurt frame times and pop-in remains acceptable.
Keep it high when
Keep it high when character or vehicle silhouettes visibly degrade.
Handheld advice
Medium is usually safer than minimum because extreme LOD pop-in is obvious on moving handheld gameplay.
Restart
Usually not required
Some games still apply changes only after reloading a scene or restarting.
Do not overread the meter
The label may cover several different engine systems.
