This is also known, more colloquially, as motion blur. Yes, the Blend interlacer does frame-blending. However, that comes with a pretty hefty side-effect: blurriness. The "Blend" interlacing method has the least amount of jitter. The "Bob" interlacing method has the least artifacts out of all of them, but it can still let some jittering pass through.

You can just select "None" and everything will be fine. Now, many games can run fine without interlacing modes. However, there is one that probably bears explaining: The interlacing modes.
