Forums - Sony Discussion - killzone 2 uses only 60% of ps3 SPUs

Speaking in IGN's latest Play Beyond podcast, Jeff Haynes revealed that even during the heaviest loads, Killzone 2 utilizes roughly only 60 per cent of the SPU's.

"It's incredible to see huge levels and see the deferred rendering and note that on all the SPU’s, even on the heaviest load were coming up to about 60%," Haynes said. "They weren't coming close to maxing out. .They had about 40% of space before they started tripping or saw slow down on some of the processes."

Furthermore, Haynes noted that the preview codes recently distributed to various media outlets were of an alpha build of the title, and have since been polished up . Visiting Guerilla Games in Amsterdam, Haynes was shown an updated version of the game, mid to late beta, noting that elements such as lighting, cut scenes, glitches, load times, have all been optimized.

Killzone 2 is due out exclusively on PlayStation 3 on February 27, 2009.

yh this was on the bottom of another post but this is in more detail.
I really think uncharted 2 will be so good too! Killzone 2 looks amazing graphically



meh, without context that doesn't mean much. There are so many bottlenecks and variables just claiming that the SPUs were only being used to 60% doesn't mean that the PS3 could do something 40% more impressive graphically.

60% With the code Now, Once the code gets more effecient and the PS3 gets fully tapped, This same code used for kz2 could only be using 40% if made more effecient for Example
