What it does
Adds flare artifacts around bright lights. It is usually a taste setting with a small cost.
Games may also call it: Lens Flares, Anamorphic Flare
Decision guide
Lower it when
Change it mainly for preference, clarity, compatibility, or frame-pacing behavior rather than raw FPS.
Keep it high when
Keep it higher when the effect supports the art direction and performance remains stable.
Handheld advice
Treat this as a secondary handheld tweak after resolution, upscaling, shadows and heavy lighting are under control.
Restart
Usually not required
Some games still apply changes only after reloading a scene or restarting.
Do not overread the meter
It is usually a taste setting with a small cost. This score is an editorial cross-game estimate, not a measured result for every engine.
