i'm always wondering, why dont they throw in something else to make use of that spare 40%? even more polygons, even more physics objects, more particles, etc...anything? why do they LEAVE 40% unused?
let me give you a hint: because there is no spare CPU power here. a game at the point of its release is ALWAYS using 100% of the resources (thats why they are "optimizing" it). There is a possibility that they could optimize it more in the future, and in 2 years they could do more on the same machine, but at the time of release its always on 100%.
