Not only does LOD support faster rendering, it does so in a way that doesn't negatively impact the visual quality of an asset. Level of detail (LOD) refers to the level of complexity in a 3D-generated model and is primarily used in real-time rendering for video games and interactive tools.

The newly added VR support also suffers with GIProbe, as it has to render in very high resolutions. Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Just don't reuse a mesh and instance it in different scales.
