Do you like Motion Blur in games?

But I turn it off if I wanna more performance. Otherwise, I don't mind it too much.

Isn't motion blur used to hide lower framerate? So by logic it means that if you turn it off the game taxes your hardware more?

In photography, motion blur occurs automatically due to the exposure time of elements in frame. In games, however, a single frame is an instantaneous point in time captured "perfectly", so motion blur is an after-effect that would have a negative impact on performance, but could produce a more realistic image. I suppose that if a developer wanted to, they could lower the level of detail on objects that are in motion since they will be blurred anyways, and this could offset some of the performance cost.
