You’re being extremely rude and [describing yourself.](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/nanite-performance-is-not-better-than-lods-test-results-fix-your-documentation-epic-youre-ruining-games/1263218) People who fail to understand Nanite hurts performance are the one with the “limited capacity” to accept **multiply test results**.  
Slapping on Nanite has worse performance vs **taking the time to optimize.**  
Which one sounds like the lazy alternative?

That’s why The first descendants and Tekken 8 uses LODs. (The former has Lumen and performs miles ahead of City Sample without AI and Fortnite)

You can either make [good materials, have poly budget with LODs](https://imgsli.com/MjA4NDUx),and optimize your draw calls or you can slap on Nanite and blurry upscalers like DLSS.

**Nanite hurts gamers** with regulars hardware and Epic is trying to force a Nanite and TAA workflow on devs.
