What it does
Maps scene brightness into the display's visible range. It affects contrast and highlights more than raw performance.
Games may also call it: Tonemapper, Tone Mapper Quality, Filmic Tonemapping
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 high when the visual difference is obvious and the target frame time already has enough headroom.
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 affects contrast and highlights more than raw performance. This score is an editorial cross-game estimate, not a measured result for every engine.
