 EEVEE simulates volumetric scattering by evaluating all volume objects inside the view frustum.
 
 To achieve this, EEVEE uses several 3D textures which have a high video memory usage.

-Volumetric Lighting
-===================
+When working with volumes objects, EEVEE automatically compute the best depth range where to compute
+the volume sampling and lighting.
+In certain situation, this isn't enough and produces sub-optimal sampling which increases noise.
+This is particularly the case when using a volume shader inside the *World* or when working with large of volume objects.
+The custom depth range can be enabled to restrict the computation of volumes to a certain range along the camera depth and thus increase precision.
