# LOD Group

> LOD Group is a flexible Unity LOD solution. It provides more optimization options than the Mesh LOD feature, but has a larger memory footprint and computational overhead.

LOD Group is a flexible Unity LOD solution. It provides more optimization options than the [Mesh LOD](/engine/6000.3/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/lod/mesh-lod.md) feature, but has a larger memory footprint and computational overhead.
