@MikeB: That has nothing to do with whether KZ2 is GPU-bound or limited by whatever else.
Developers are still evaluating and learning how to best do things for their games, the RSX being designed more than other GPUs to take take advantage of the CPU (Cell) and being able to take advantage of the XDR Ram no percentage or so can be given.
Only some devs expect they will be able to yield at least 50% additional graphics performance efficiency by taking more advantage of the Cell to pre-process things for the RSX. (for example based on Super Stardust HD dev comments, a 1080p game drawing over 20,000 objects and 100,000 particles on screen at once at 60 frames per second).
