Stig: GoW III engine only running at “50%”

50% you say?

You know, I don't see it happening with the 7800gtx Nvidia graphics card PS3 has and the 256 RAM split.

Maybe cell is running at 50% of its capacity but all other components are working overtime.

So in theory maybe...in real life prolly not.

In theory my PC video card is about 20X more powerful than 360/PS3...but I only get 5-6X more performance out of it :D

Let's look beyond the sensationalistc thread title. He more or less said that they are 60% done with the engine, not that they can push 40% more polygons or frames per second.

For example he talks about animation blending, which gives better looking and more natural characters, requires a bit of extra CPU and quite some work on the algorithmic side. But surely the effect of which can't be measured in a percentage in any scale. Same could be probably said of many other engine subsystems.
