Explore the built-in scalers provided by Adaptive Performance to automatically manage your project's settings at runtime. ## General performance scalers This section details the general-purpose scalers and their default settings: | **General scalers** | **Min Scale** | **Max Scale** | **Max Level** | **Visual Impact** | **Target** | **Setting scaled** | | ------------------------ | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **AdaptiveLOD** | 0.4 | 1 | 3 | High | GPU | [`QualitySettings.lodBias`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/qualitysettings/lodbias.md) | | **AdaptiveResolution** | 0.5 | 1 | 9 | Low | GPU/FillRate | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.RenderScaleMultiplier`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/renderscalemultiplier.md)/[`ScalableBuffers`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/scalablebuffermanager.md) | | **AdaptiveFramerate** | 15 | 60 | 45 | High | CPU/GPU/FillRate | [`Application.targetFrameRate`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/application/targetframerate.md) | | **AdaptiveViewDistance** | 50 | 1,000 | 40 | High | GPU | [`Camera.main.farClipPlane`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/camera/farclipplane.md) | | **AdaptivePhysics** | 0.5 | 1 | 5 | Low | CPU | [`Time.fixedDeltaTime`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/time/fixeddeltatime.md) | | **AdaptiveLayerCulling** | 0.01 | 1 | 40 | Medium | CPU | [`Camera.main.layerCullDistances`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/camera/layerculldistances.md) | ## Universal Render Pipeline (URP) scalers Adaptive Performance provides the following scalers to control URP-specific rendering features: | **URP scalers** | **Min Scale** | **Max Scale** | **Max Level** | **Visual Impact** | **Target** | **Setting scaled** | | ------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ----------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **AdaptiveLUT** | 0 | 1 | 1 | Medium | CPU/GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.LutBias`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/lutbias.md) | | **AdaptiveMSAA** | 0 | 1 | 2 | Medium | GPU/FillRate | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.AntiAliasingQualityBias`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/antialiasingqualitybias.md) | | **AdaptiveShadowCascade** | 0 | 1 | 2 | Medium | CPU/GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MainLightShadowCascadesCountBias`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/mainlightshadowcascadescountbias.md) | | **AdaptiveShadowDistance** | 0.15 | 1 | 3 | Low | GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MaxShadowDistanceMultiplier`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/maxshadowdistancemultiplier.md) | | **AdaptiveShadowQuality** | 0 | 1 | 3 | High | CPU/GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.ShadowQualityBias`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/shadowqualitybias.md) | | **AdaptiveShadowmapResolution** | 0.15 | 1 | 3 | Low | GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MainLightShadowmapResolutionMultiplier`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/mainlightshadowmapresolutionmultiplier.md) | | **AdaptiveSorting** | 0 | 1 | 1 | Medium | CPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.SkipFrontToBackSorting`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/skipfronttobacksorting.md) | | **AdaptiveTransparency** | 0 | 1 | 1 | High | GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.SkipTransparentObjects`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/skiptransparentobjects.md) | | **AdaptiveDecals** | 0.01 | 1 | 20 | Medium | GPU | [`AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.DecalsDrawDistance`](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/adaptiveperformance/adaptiveperformancerendersettings/decalsdrawdistance.md) | ### How scalers map to URP settings This table maps each `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings` property to the specific URP feature it modifies at runtime. This list covers every internal Unity Editor setting affected by the Adaptive Performance built-in scalers. Most scalers apply their calculated scale directly, while others adjust settings in more specialized ways when required. | **Adaptive Performance scaler setting** | **URP setting** | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.LutBias` | [`UniversalPostProcessingData.lutSize`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.UniversalPostProcessingData.html?q=UniversalPostProcessingData) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.AntiAliasingQualityBias` | [`CameraData.antialiasingQuality`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.CameraData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_Universal_CameraData_antialiasingQuality) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MainLightShadowCascadesCountBias` | [`ShadowData.mainLightShadowCascadesCount`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.ShadowData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_Universal_ShadowData_mainLightShadowCascadesCount) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MaxShadowDistanceMultiplier` | [`CameraData.maxShadowDistance`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.CameraData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_Universal_CameraData_maxShadowDistance) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.ShadowQualityBias` | [`ShadowData.supportsSoftShadows ShadowData.supportsAdditionalLightShadows ShadowData.supportsMainLightShadows`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.ShadowData.html) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.MainLightShadowmapResolutionMultiplier` | [`ShadowData.mainLightShadowmapWidth ShadowData.mainLightShadowmapHeight`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.ShadowData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_Universal_ShadowData_mainLightShadowmapWidth) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.SkipFrontToBackSorting` | [`cameraData.defaultOpaqueSortFlags`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.CameraData.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_Universal_CameraData_defaultOpaqueSortFlags) | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.SkipTransparentObjects` | Disables the forward transparency pass in the URP, which means transparent objects in the scene don't display. | | `AdaptivePerformanceRenderSettings.DecalsDrawDistance` | Scales [Max Draw Distance](/engine/6000.6/manual/visual-effects/decals/renderer-feature-decal/reference.md#max-draw-distance) | ## Additional resources * [Modifying asset quality with scalers](/engine/6000.6/manual/analysis/runtime-performance-scaling/adaptive-performance/performance-metrics/scalers/introduction.md) * [Create custom scalers](/engine/6000.6/manual/analysis/runtime-performance-scaling/adaptive-performance/performance-metrics/scalers/create-custom.md) * [Use scaler profiles](/engine/6000.6/manual/analysis/runtime-performance-scaling/adaptive-performance/performance-metrics/scalers/scaler-profiles.md)
