# ARView.RenderOptions

The available rendering options that you use to selectively disable
certain rendering effects.

```
struct RenderOptions
```

## Overview

RealityKit applies effects to the render make the AR experience more
immersive. You can selectively disable any of these effects by adding
one or more options from the [`ARView.RenderOptions`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView/RenderOptions-swift.struct) set
to the view’s [`renderOptions`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView/renderOptions-swift.property) property.

When you initialize a new [`ARView`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView) instance, RealityKit automatically
disables certain effects for you, depending on the device hardware. You
can change the view’s [`renderOptions`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView/renderOptions-swift.property) to suit
your app’s needs, but be sure to consider your app’s GPU utilization
when doing so, as described in
[Improving the Performance of a RealityKit App](/documentation/RealityKit/improving-the-performance-of-a-realitykit-app).
