# AdaptivePerformanceScaler

> Abstract class representing single feature that is controlled by AdaptivePerformanceIndexer. You control the quality through changing the levels, where 0 represents the controller not being applied and 1,2... as applied. As a result, a higher level represents lower visuals, but better performance.
