Well, you'll have trouble getting too many people to agree on what is a big difference versus a minor one, opinions vary. With something like depth of field, you can save a lot of processing power by switching it off, and the player will often be none the wiser as if you haven't seen a comparison you may just think it was always not there.

If the gamer will hardly notice than that is the definition of badly used performance budget.

Pretty much every non-indie game of the current gen uses effects or techniques that a lot of gamers won't even notice. How many gamers are ever going to notice the performance budget Naughty Dog spent to make Drake's ears translucent to light in Uncharted 4?
